We stayed at the property in mid October 2022 for a family holiday.
The house is fantastic - a the first floor terrace offers great views over Piedimonte out to the sea (particularly at sunrise), and the roof gives you a nice view of Etna over the trees. The garden is a gem, with lots of nooks and crannies to explore with an excellent BBQ set up (although we didn't try the pizza oven).
It's about 10 minutes walk to Piedimonte which has butchers/fishmongers/grocers/supermarket, and a good pizza restaurant. It also has a station for the Circumetnea railway -allowing for daytrips to Randazzo and Riposto (possibly even Bronte, but that might be a stretch - there are only a few trains each day!). Other than that, you'll need to rent a car (taxis appear to be rare outside of major cities!). Taormina is about a 15 minute drive, and you can get to Catania in under an hour.
The hosts could not have been more helpful - they really went out of their way to make it a fantastic holiday.
