When you go to La Bergerie, you are greeted by the owner Barbara, whose welcoming smile and easy demeanour instantly put you at ease. This was even the case for us, when, after misunderstanding the directions, late at night, Barbara met us on a motorcycle on a nearby street and showed us how to get to her place.
When we woke up the next morning we were entranced with that view - and yes, it is the same picture perfect view that you see on the internet, but infinitely more amazing in real life. The next few days were like spending time in the home of an old friend. Barbara did everything to accommodate us and help us get the most of our precious few days in Taormina.
At the end Barbara gave us a post card to remember her by. As if we could ever forget. A wonder-filled experience all around.
