Great place if you have a car. Neighborhood is not attractive, but the location is good base to visit East side of Sicily. We mostly slept and cooked there. We travelled with 3yr old boy and he liked it very much, too, especially the garden. We are a married couple 30-ish.
The location makes an average car trip 60-90mins one way every day i.e Taormina or Syracuse. Your kid has to accept it. We all were very ok with it. Owners are super hospitable and helpful.
