We stayed at Nicoletta's place end of April as it is close to Taormina where we planned to visit next day. I am sure it would be comfortably cool in the heat of the summer. The kitchen utensils could use updating, the shower is not suitable for a grown man but one can manage somehow and the second bedroom has only a small single bed. The wifi signal was not strong in spite of all the effort of Nicoletta's brother, Fabio's, efforts to improve the signal, although we did manage with email. Although we never actually met Nicoletta, she did respond to our queries quickly and her family was friendly and tried their best to be helpful and informative.
Gallodoro is located at the top of a mountain, the drive is along a serpentine, narrow road which is an experience in itself. The town has 2 restaurants and 1 Cafe/bar and a small grocery shop. It is a quiet place and relaxing.
