This is a wonderful place if you want to rest and relax.
The apartment is well laid out, is beautifully decorated and perfectly furnished. It is very classy. The space is good and when the terrace is included, it's perfect. The terrace itself is generous in size, there's plenty of seating for both relaxing and at the table, and the sunloungers are important to soak up the Mediterranean sun. There's a great view of Etna in the distance and the lovely local hills. Views over the side of the terrace onto the (almost impossibly small) local road system and across the town are great.
Graniti is a small town but it's not far to travel to get to many other places. Rent a small car as the roads won't take anything bigger. And parking is a great game to play here too.
The local shop, pizza house and bars aren't far away. The slopes are steep and there are stacks of steps to negotiate.
Miriam is a wonderful hostess. We loved the jam her mother made and the recommendations of where to visit. One of our best days of the holiday was our visit to her terraces at the bottom of the valley and the vinyard at the top. She's a very hands on farmer and this was evident in the wonderful food she cooked too.
While our Italian was limited and so was her English, she had no problem using her phone to translate, to remove any potential barriers this might have put in place.
This was a fantastic holiday location and Miriam was a perfect hostess.
