A really lovely apartment with a balcony on either side - one facing towards the sea and the other with a view to Etna. Alfredo met us at the appointed time and gave us plenty of tips for what to do and where to eat. We personally felt we made the right decision to stay in Castelmola instead of the busy and ‘unashamedly touristy’ Taormina. The kitchen is really well-equipped. The bedroom is delightful. The bathroom is spacious and spotlessly clean. We appreciated the little touches that make this such a comfortable stay. Thanks you Donatella and Alfredo. We recommend you to anyone who wants to stay in a gorgeous apartment. There is a mini market in Castelmola which is fine. Donatella’s uncle runs the cafe by the bus stop / car park at the bottom of the hill before you go up the steps into town - well worth a stop for a drink with a great view. I remain hopeful that one day I will be in Sicily to witness Etna erupting and where better to stay than Donatella’s place!!
