So many nice touches and spaces. Beautiful tended garden. Spent many nights on the upper terrace watching the mount Etna eruption with a glass of wine and conversation with friends. Great value, under-appreciated beaches nearby, 10 or 15 minute walk or quicker by car. Taormina, Syracuse, Messina, all within an hour or so. Rosaria and her sister were very responsive, generous and gracious. We spent 3 weeks here with adult children, and the 4 bedrooms and common areas held us all comfortably. Riposto is not a tourist destination, which was a plus for us. We could visit Etna or Siracusa or Taormina during the day, and come back to a normal community at the end of the day.
