Centralt och bra läge !
Vi trivdes mycket bra under en ledig vecka i februari. Centralt läge och nära till allt. Nyskördade citroner, clementiner och lokalt vin välkommnades vi med av värden. Rekomenderas varmt.

Parfait pour visiter de catane à taormina
Un accueil très chaleureux avec du vin et des pâtisseries locales. L'appartement est très bien situé dans Riposto. Le soir on peut se garer facilement dans la rue et même devant en cette période de fin juillet. Francesco est adorable, il nous à même fait une visite de la ville jusqu'à nous montrer la maison del padrino ! Je recommande !
