We spent an exciting week on Sicily!
Our apartments had all things, we were need for comfort living: towels, shampoos, after sun gel (important thing on Sicily :)), sun umbrella, etc.
We enjoyed the great breakfasts served under the old mulberry tree (they were including jams and fresh bread produced on farm!). Thank you Marcelle!
Marcelle and Fillipo are very friendly and hospital, ready to help and advise. Marcelle has a list of day-long trip plans to the different interesting places :)
There is only 20 minutes of driving to the nearest sand beach (it has showers). On Saturday evening, there was a music and exciting dancing/learning session on the square just near it :)
In Pedalino (5 minutes of driving, I have checked :)) you may find several places to eat and a supermarket. On Saturday, the central square became walking area with live music :)
There is a great restaurant with hospital owners in 10 minutes walk through the olive grove. Marcelle and Fillipo may make a booking for you (or in the other restaurant, or order a pizza :)).
From me, I advise to visit Modica - it has more old houses than Taormina and you may eat medieval chocolate here :)
