Milena and her mother were gracious and kind hosts. They leave you gifts of food and water, and pick you up just outside the village (if you're driving and need to find free parking). Everything about her apartment was wonderful, from the location to the amenities. It was the coziest and best stocked Air BnB I have ever rented. Not only would I recommend it, but I want to return next year and spend more time there. Catania, Taormina, and Messina are all day trips from the place. Also nearby is the village Savoca, where they filmed scenes for Godfather II. While in Castelmola, make sure you try the almond wine!
