Antonio was a fantastic host. His communication was outstanding (Italian only but Google Translate works well).
The house is obviously brand new and finished to hotel quality with great touches and very stylish decor.
The views are beyond compare and although there are 86 corners between Taormina and the house the road is NOT scary, quite wide and everyone gets by in the end. Suggest you go with the flow!
There is an hourly bus service to Taormina for €3 each return. Worth not having the hassle of the drive and parking. Personally I’d opt to stay in Castelmola every time. It’s a friendly, quaint town and actually really easy to find your way around. We enjoyed our stay there probably more than if we were in Taormina.
The house is quiet too, a few metres from a multi storey car park (complete with football pitch on roof!) and 5 minutes from all the restaurants and main square.
We loved it! Will miss waking up to Etna each morning.
