we enjoyed our stay very much. the house is very clean and very spacious, the kitchen well enough equipped to cook and nearby there is a nice restaurant. the pool is amazing and the garden as well! one would need a car because the supermarket etc is not too near. in walking distance is the alcantara gorge, nice day to spend there. we heard the music from there but didn't mind. the sea is very near (around taormina) but our kids preferred the pool :) it's a definitive yes!!!
