Raffaella’s house on the hill is absolutely beautiful and the view over the sea and the Aeolian Islands is stunning. The extensive terraced garden is filled with shaded spots to rest from the sun, fruit trees from which to pick delicious plums, figs, and lemons, and lizards, which were so fun for our daughter to try and catch. The house was clean and well decorated, the kitchen well-equipped and functioning, and overall very cosy and we right at home. We stayed for a week with our two year old daughter and the house provided a perfect base for exploring the northern coast of Sicily. We also enjoyed days at the beach in the small town of San Giorgio that also has a few good restaurants and a very sufficient super market and good bakery. The steep climb to the house (and the hot Sicilian sun) means that you need a car, and unless you are comfortable with steep hairpin turns, preferably one with an automatic shift. We had such a lovely week in Raffaella’s home and she was so responsive and accommodating even when we made the mistake of arriving a day too early. Probably this was the best air bnb we have yet experienced.
