We’d been travelling via the coastal train route and had a few days between Taormina and Cefalu we weren’t sure what to do with. After seeing some fantastic reviews from Casa Faranda we decided it was worth the diversion off the train route…and it definitely was!
The communication was first class and Pierfrancesco even arranged to pick us up from the train station. He was friendly and helpful right from the start and when we met Georgia at the property she was exceptionally warm and welcoming.
The property itself is like no other we’ve stayed in! A truly unique experience and a really memorable part of our trip for sure. A 500 year old property full of charm and character, which is also homely and inviting. Our room was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed and more (including a beautiful bath tub in the room!)
Pierfrancesco, Georgia and their family are really relaxed and lovely to be around. We also had our own space entirely and never felt like we were in the way.
The area of Castroreale is beautiful. We went for a fantastic walk in the mountains and enjoyed watching the sunset from the village, and the amazing terrace at Casa Faranda.
Thank you again Pierfrancesco and Georgia - we weren’t with you for long but we will remember our time with you forever! We’d definitely recommend this stay and would love to one day return ourselves.
