We’ve just returned from the most wonderful stay at Casa Zirretto. The house is based in a superb spot up the mountain, peaceful enough to really relax and just enjoy lounging by the pool whilst enjoying the amazing view, but also not too far away from the closest towns - Taormina and Castelmola. Both are easy to get to by bus (If you don’t mind a slight uphill walk to the bus stop it’s about a 15 minute walk from the house) or you can get a taxi which takes about 10 mins. Federica was very helpful in organising taxis for us.
The room was immaculate and there was all the necessary equipment to be able to self-cater. We often ate out on the balcony whilst enjoying the view.
Federica and her family were excellent hosts and made our stay extra special. They kindly offered us fresh vegetables that were grown on their land and even cooked us fresh macaroni pasta one evening!
If staying, we would really recommend going to the restaurant just 900m away from the house called Trattoria Chicchirichì. They serve typical Sicilian food and its superb value. It was our favourite meal of the trip, the view from the terrace is great and you can see the sea.
We 100% recommend staying at Casa Ziretto it’s a truly unique place that’s a real retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we would love to stay again.
