We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Ziretto; Carlo and Federica and their family were welcoming, friendly and helpful and we had a couple of opportunities to enjoy their really excellent cooking and sample the wonderful produce from the vegetable garden. The apartment was super clean and well presented - all very fresh and new. The kitchen area is limited to an induction hob of 2 rings - no oven or grill - so if you are wanting to self cater bear that in mind. Communication was excellent in advance of and during our stay. The location is perfect if you want to be outside the hustle and bustle of Taormina but with easy access to it. Taormina is well worth spending some time exploring; Castelomola is quaint, with great views but otherwise doesn't offer much more than cafes and tourist shops. There's a lot to visit in the wider region - Etna, Alcantara Gorge etc... and a week easily flew by between day trips exploring the area and days lounging by the pool back at Casa Ziretto - the perfect holiday home.
