Lovely place right at the top of a mountaintop! Stunning views of Mt Etna that we couldn’t stop looking at! We took the path down to Taormina most days and walked back, it is very steep (we have a general level of fitness) but there is a bus. The apartment was perfect for us. Driving into Castelmola and to the apartment isn’t for the faint hearted, very twisty and narrow, but fine with a small hire car. The private parking space is a bonus. Castelmola is a real getaway from it all, a place to unwind with just a few restaurants but there is plenty more to see and do in Taormina.
