I cannot imagine a better location, with a clear view of Taormina and Campania in one direction and Etna in the other. We enjoyed so many wonderful coffees, wines and meals on the deck drinking in the gorgeous views. And one night we even watched Etna’s mini eruptions, clearly and in the full comfort of Vincenzo’s stylish space.
Everything here has been thoughtfully designed: the open-plan kitchen/living area, the dual toilet/shower areas, the floating steps, the fireplace, the generous outdoor patio space, the fruit tree-filled landscaping, the comfortable beds. In addition to a kitchen well-stocked with dishes and such, basic condiments (oil, sugar, salt), tea and coffee, and crackers and biscuits were provided.
But really the best perk of all is Vincenzo, the host. He greeted us as if we were long-lost friends and offered so much wonderful advice and such a love of his country that we immediately wanted to explore every inch of it. His restaurant suggestions were first-class, and he was also super-helpful with making reservations. We will find another excuse to return to Sicily just to experience Vincenzo’s hospitality, home and homeland!!
Now stop reading this and just book the place - you will not regret it!!
