What a gem of an experience! People talk about the view while - although downright stunning, especially at night - I am tempted to say Trina herself is the biggest reason we had such an amazing time. Her tent’s positioning and set up is something she does tastefully and elegantly. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves despite the rain which came both before and while we were there. As an outdoor experience/accommodation, I think that is further testament to her ability to delight.
We knew dinner was included but when it arrived we were properly impressed by her ragu and then blown away by her eggplant parmigiana. She has a way of turning ordinary into mouthwatering and memorable.
The only things to note are around driving: 1. if you are not used to Sicilian driving, you are best off following Trina’s instructions driving from Taormina as the roads are narrow and windy if you follow Goo gle 2. Yes, there are multiple hills in Castelmola. her place is located on a separate hill from the one most people know - so to get here from say, Bar Turrisi, you must first go down that hill (to the restaurant Chichiricchi) and then up another hill to her place.
If you have any adventure in you, you will be doing yourself a favour booking this experience. Trina is not only a master of her craft, she has a wonderful positivity and vibrancy in her soul which can only leave you with invaluable memories like it did for us.
PS. Happy, sweet dog (border collie) included, what more could you ask for?! It was hard not to fall instantly in love with Cria who definitely added to our experience
