My family and I spent 4 wonderful nights at Karen and Diego's lovely place. We got slightly lost on the way there (GPS issue), and Karen was quick to respond and help us find our way again. The view from their house is simply indescribable, and we enjoyed many meals al fresco. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare meals for 4 people, and Karen also served up a spectacular 3-course dinner for us on the first night (even preparing special vegan dishes for me with very little notice). The pool area is great for lounging around and cooling off, and we had loads of fun playing volleyball with Karen, Diego and one of their friends. All in all, it was a fantastic stay, and I can definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting to be close to Taormina, but not right in the middle of the madness.
