The garden is so nice. We stayed during some rainy days, but I imagine during the summer the house is a great place to get away from the heat. The host gave us a small bike for our 2 year old girl. She was so excited about it and about the cats. Around the area there are some nice wineries (30-40 minutes by car), restaurants for lunch and dinner, Gole Alcantara Park (must visit and it is great even with little ones), Taormina (30’ by car). The location gave us a great mix of busy days and chill days.
