I stayed at Milena's place with my girlfriend and her father, and it was perfect! I would highly recommend a stay at this apartment.
Firstly, Milena was excellent at communicating with us before and during our stay. Her mother, Eva, was taking care of the place and we met her at check-in and check-out. She was very warm, friendly and considerate.
The apartment itself was very clean and tidy. It has a space double bedroom and a single room. The kitchen was excellently stocked and it has a nice balcony. There is also a roof terrace with excellent views of Castelmola and Taormina. There was a very thoughtful welcome pack of food, tea and coffee, when we arrived and during our stay Eva left some fresh fruits at the front door, which were very tasty.
The apartment itself is located in the small mountain town of Castelmola, just above Taormina. Castelmola offers amazing views of Taormina, Giardini Naxos and Mount Etna. It is a very short drive to Taormina (we had our own car) but there is also a very regular bus service. We also hiked to Monte Venere, just above Castelmola, along an old mule trail and this offered incredible panoramic views of this part of Sicily. Another day we also hiked to down to Taormina along the other stretch of this old mule trail. I would highly recommend both if you stay here.
Overall we had a brilliant stay at this excellently located apartment and Milena and Eva are the perfect hosts. You should definitely consider this place if you plan on staying in this part of Sicily!
