Behind a severe metal front door is a really beautiful apartment, decorated with style. We had trouble finding Trecastangi (Sicilian road signs are a law unto their own), but eventually we found Mariella (owner of the next door wine shop), and she showed us in and told us (in Italian) where the nearest restaurant was. A great base for exploring Mount Etna and visits to Taormina, Catania and the rest of the coast. Would especially recommend a trip to the restaurants by the shore in Capo Mulini. Use a satnav if you have one!
