Dena is a wonderful host--inviting and full of interesting stories. She picked us up from the bus station, for a small fee, which was nice as she helped us get oriented to Taromina. We loved the bruschetta and wine upon our arrival and the almond wine in the evening. Nice touches! Breakfast was simple- coffee and bread with jam- and appreciated. Thank you for all the dinner suggestions. The view is wonderful- especially the sunrises. The location is a short walk (downhill) to the center of town and approximately 20-30 minutes to the beach (downhill).
