We just spent a wonderful 5 days in Castelmola. The apartment was perfect for the two of us. We enjoyed sunny breakfasts on the balcony each day before exploring local towns. The bedroom and bathroom were fantastic and everything was so clean, which is always a nice start. There was simply too much to see and do in the area during the day so we weren’t in the apartment much . The roof terrace at the top has fantastic views but again we were too busy to use it. Driving is a unique experience as the roads are very narrow and busy. Grazianos father helped us with parking our rental car and gave us the apartment keys. He met us as soon as we arrived in the town square, to welcome us and navigate to the parking area which is tucked away from the town, all very easy and such a friendly, helpful start.
Castelmola has great restaurants and bars to keep each night different. We enjoyed bar turrisi, restaurant dell l’etna and the lovely restaurant in the Duoma (I don’t remember it’s name). Great pasta, pizzas, salads and fish... all within seconds of walking from the apartment.
The host Graziano was great for quick replies too. Overall we had a lovely few days
