We just loved this house! It is in a remote area on the side of the mountain and we felt like we were living in the clouds surrounded by nature and a volcanic rock garden. (Yet, we were just 30 minutes to Taormina.) We were here in the winter and it happened to be fairly drizzly, but it was so cozy inside. On our final morning the sun finally peaked out and cleared the clouds to reveal the city below and views of the sea. Just beautiful. It is cold at this time of year, so we used the wood burning stove, which made the house very comfortable. Without the stove, it would have been too cold. It is a country house, so there are some quirks. When we ran into an issue, we sent Pina a text and she responded quickly with a solution. Pina is wonderful. She prepared a delicious meal with wine and left it for us on arrival, which was especially welcome as we were tired from traveling. The house was well stocked with all the basics for food (olive oil, spices, butter, jam, cookies, breakfast cake, etc.) which was very appreciated. And the wifi was reliable and fast. We would love to come back again in the summer to really enjoy the outdoors here. It is a special place.
