The Gardenhouse on the beach looks exactly as shown in the pictures: really nice and very well kept garden, beautiful beach and a simple but convenient apartment! Maristella was a great host and provided us with everything we needed (e.g. a baby bathtub and a baby cot even though we didn't ask for it! She also did put some water and coffee for us into the kitchen at arrival!). The village itself does not offer much to see and since it was off-season not all of the restaurants were open in the evening - but the location is great to visite taormina and etna and the garden is really relaxing just to hang around. We can highly recommand the "Arco Rosso" for dinner - again recommended by our host. One little thing to mention: the highway is not really fare away toward the hillside --> you can hear the cars and lorries pass by 24/7...not really loud but also not easy to ignor. Thanks Maristella for the nice time and we will definitively come back to Gardenhouse on the beach if we pass again in Taormina - Mazzeo!
