What a view! What a place! We totally recommend Donatello’s place. Get away from the crazy tourists down the bottom of the mountain and stay in a 5 star quiet place that is really in the best location. The home is equipped with everything you need. Nothing is spared!Donatella’s thoughtfulness of little extras such as wine, pasta, sauce, coffee, biscuits made this a home away from home. The place had the view out to the ocean and over the mountains. Make sure you are up in the morning to see the sunrise. It is quite a show!
The bus stop to the sea is metres away - both convenient and easy to use. A little way up the mountain - a few minute walk is the town of Castelmola. Cute and picturesque with lots of food and souvenirs and photo opportunities.
Donatella and her husband greeted us on arrival to help us with everything. They also introduced us to an Aunty who runs a place near the bus stop. A convenient place to buy food and wine. My son loved the lemonade ice blocks with a licorice eatable stick.
I cannot reiterate how fab this place was and with parking right outside, leave the car and use the frequent bus service to service your needs to reach other places in the local area.
The drive to the house is a little busy driving peak hour. I did it so I think anyone else would be able to as well. Buses drop off about 20 metres from the house. 5 out of 5
