House with a real Sicilian feel in a beautiful location.
We really enjoyed two weeks in this nice house.
The house is not at all located within but in walking distance (for fit people) from the old and interesting town of Savoca (2 km including 250 height meters up a gravel road). From the terrace we had a beautiful view of the valley and mountain sides. The location does though require you to have a car, as there is 2.8 km to the nearest bigger shopping opportunities, and 3 km to most restaurants and beaches in the town of Santa Teresa. The location is perfect for day trips to Taormina (40 min), Messina (50 min) or Gole Alcantara (50 min).
We never found the advertised nearby pizzeria/restaurant.
The house has two nice rooms with A/C bedding four people. Other than that is an open room with two beds, that has A/C but is open to the rest of the house and therefore the A/C is not very effective.
The kitchen is small and simple, and the oven is not the best. But it was possible too cook and bake for seven people. We were asked not to use the outside pizza oven (though the advertisement here says it is possible).
Both in and out side there is many mosquitoes in the morning and evening (and even a few during the day), therefore we recommend anti mosquito spray.
The pool was nice and clean and didn’t smell much of chloride. Every day Gianfranco came and checked up on our satisfaction and he did cleaning of the pool some days.
Overall we really recommend this house!
