Residence Trinacria is a real gem. We stayed in the loft apartment and had spectacular views of both the sea and the volcano, enjoying sunshine on the terrace from morning til sunset. The pool was a great addition for chilling out at the house. It’s a super location for exploring the Eastern coast and sites of Sicily. Etna and Taormina are less than an hour away by car. The immediate village is sweet, with great pizzerias, a small supermarket, a green grocer etc. The host was really informative regarding all local amenities and potential tourist attractions. We were travelling with a toddler and everything we needed was there - cot, bedding, high chair and cups, plates etc.
The only thing we discovered was that it’s tricky to get the water hot in the shower without a bit of playing around with the other taps in the apartment. We forgot to ask about this so I’m sure the host can explain how it should work. All in all, this was a fantastic place and we’d happily stay again.
