The ideal setting for both a beach vacation and as a base for excursions along the entire Ionian coast, the eastern part of Sicily, and Mount Etna. The house is cool and airy, thanks to its slightly elevated position above the sea. Heating is available in winter, if needed. Air conditioning is available in the summer, although it is rarely necessary since the local climate is almost always dry and breezy. Keep in mind the local climate, which is extremely pleasant and very different from that of other areas of Sicily, with a sea breeze that cools things down every day around 2:00 p.m. when the heat is at its peak. The reserved parking space right outside the house is very convenient, as is the Messina-Catania highway exit, located about 1 km away. For those arriving by plane in Catania, there is a direct bus that, for 6.00 euros per person, takes you in one hour to a stop about 100 meters from the house.
