We were staying in Motta Camastra for 3 nice days with our child of 8 y.o. These days were full with very strong emotions and happy moments. The village for us is really like as a heart of true Sicily due to its locality, and people !!! especially !!! they are very true, friendly and attentive. The Motta Camastra village is very safe. Once evening our child was playing football with children from Motta Camastra on the square near the church. He was very happy and has a strong memory of that evening! Every evening we had a very tasty dinner in family local trattoria with its owners Carmelo and his wife Francesca. The dishes were very local Sicilian and so tasty as we couldn’t forget its taste (his wife Francesca is great cooker really!). And, what is very important, that Carmelo is very true, friendly, and he is also a barmen in the bar on the square, where you can have a breakfast with cappuccino and tasty granita!!! (our kid likes it in strawberry very much )) and wonderful cannoli. We really fell that find friends on Sicily in Motta Camastra! and really want to return! Giuseppe, host of the house, you are a great host and Sicilian guide, you help us a lot with recommendations to visit the nearest places to visit on Sicily. The house is very nice and fully-equipped, tidy, very comfortable and with amazing view on Etna.
p.s. village Motta Camastra is great starting point for visit the main tourist’s direction: Taormina - 25 min by car, the beaches near Taormina about 15 min by car, not so far from the village there are some nice wineries with nice wine from Etna. As wines from Etna you should taste - they are especially due to Etna. Once day, we went to local barbershop for me and my son and when we returned home - we had very stylish hairstyles. It was a great experience and made with high professionality.
And, the main, what to say, we have amazing holiday in Motta Camastra for our family due to its people, fantastic old nice streets, big square on the top with Etna view!
We hope one day we return to Motta Camastra.
