The perfect spot if you want to escape touristy crowds but still would like to visit places like Alcantara, Taormina & mount Etna. Castiglione is also a beautiful town to walk around in, with a lot of nice family owned restaurants.
Michele is the best host you could wish for, very easy to communicate with. We got a flat tire on a Sunday and he helped us find a replacement while everything is normally closed. Fantastic!
