A quiet residence on the edge of Santa Tecla, a peaceful small town, it's just a short 10 minute walk into the town. The accommodation was well furnished and comfortable; the kitchen had everything necessary for self-catering. Some more electrical sockets, especially in the bedrooms would have been useful. The apartment was clean and tidy. The swimming pool was lovely, although some of the umbrellas were a little worn. Views of Etna from the apartment were great, especially at night when it was active !
The location makes it an ideal place to explore the surrounding area. Mount Etna is an easy drive, Syracuse a little further but easily done as a day trip. Catania was also worth a visit and far more interesting and pleasant than I was expecting. There are plenty of excellent places to eat with pizza or fish and seafood, all within easy reach of the apartment, either walking or by car.
Elvira, the owner's daughter, was very helpful and friendly.
