We have just got back from a wonderful stay at Casa Pizzino. Teresa kindly met us near to the house and guided us to it by car. She was an incredibly friendly and helpful host and clearly takes great pride in the home and its upkeep. Our apartment was everything you could want; air conditioning, comfy beds, wardrobe space, a well equipped kitchen and even our own outside dining area.

Casa Pizzino really is in spectacular surroundings and the pool is so clean and warm we swam in it most days. To stay here, you absolutely need a hire car to get around. The house is in a great location to get to different places by car; we went to Taormina, Mt Etna, Librizzi, Messina and to the beach in Capo Calava,all of which are worth visiting. Be prepared for lots of steep hill climbs and bumpy roads (all part of the fun of driving in Sicily!) We had a Fiat 500 and it struggled to get up a few of the hills but just about managed!

We would not hesitate to recommend staying at the beautiful Casa Pizzino – it is a picture postcard setting with a caring host and lovely apartments.
