I would recommend this property for sure! The location turned out to be the best!!! Anyone coming here should be aware that it's colder than it is by the sea - at least by 10 degrees - so stock up on warm clothes if you're visiting before the summer heat hits Sicily! It's a steep car ride up - but once you get there you get this million dollar view! You see the sea on the one side, with Taormina on top of one of the hills that will be below where you are! and on the other side you see the snowy top of Etna. It's breath-taking! If the weather permits seeing all that :) You're in the mountains and you get a lot of clouds and wind (of course depending on the season!)
The pool is very nice and big and a great place to hang out at. Gianni put us into a different part of the house to accommodate us better and it turned out to be really nice and spacious. And it had a fireplace!
Sauna is a very nice advantage when you're there in April/May and it's really really chill in the evening.
I really recommend trips to Taormina, and Isola Bella on the way to Giardini Naxos is spectacular! And of course Etna!! a ride in car all the way up from Gianni's house to Etna top was an absolute highlight of our trip!!
Please mind that wifi only works outside by the pool.
This particular property - Casale Taormina, that we didn't end up staying at (we stayed at the next set of rooms in the same house) looks really small - I thought the pictures showed it as a bigger place. The place we had was comfortable - but again please remember it may be very cold - electricity may not be working for a short while. In general - really recommend the place but you need to come prepared!!
Gianni gave us his home made limoncello which was really nice!! :)
