Gianfranco is a fantastic host with a beautiful home. As our flight arrived late on the Sunday he picked us up from the airport and was waiting at the gate when we landed. He provided lots of brilliant recommendations for our stay. For food our favourite was tiramisu which is brilliant for seafood. He also told us that for running in the mornings we should visit Castlemola. If you like running (ideally uphill!) I can't recommend this enough. The view from the top is breathtaking and we always treated ourselves with a post run espresso and amaretti biscuit at the cafe with a view of Taormina.
The house itself is great but the highlight is really the beautiful garden and terrace with an incredible view of the coast, Taormina and Etna. We could have sat watching for hours.
Thank you for a great stay, hopefully we will be back soon.
