It's almost impossible to describe the beauty of the view from this place. I can't imagine that there's a more lovely spot in all of Sicily. From here, you have your own private courtyard with fruit trees, lounge chairs, and a cafe table where you can have your coffee, tea or wine and gaze out across the valley to Mt. Etna, the hillside homes, Taormina, and the sea. Every morning, I couldn't wait to go outside and watch the changing clouds, the mood of the ocean, and how the sun colored the hillside.
The home itself is cozy but plenty spacious for two people, with an open common space, comfy furniture, and a kitchen that's adequately stocked to cook meals. The bathroom is quite spacious with a large shower, good water pressure, and (bonus) a bidet!
If you're capable of hiking, there are several flights of stone steps very close by that lead all the way down to Taormina. We didn't want the stress of dealing with a car so we really appreciated the ability to take the stairs. (It helped keep us in shape in spite of all the delicious meals we enjoyed in town). I really am delighted that we chose this place to stay. It was perfect for us.
