Lovely week spent here. Zaira was super friendly and informative. It's very quiet and rural here so a car is necessary to get around the picturesque winding mountain roads. The view from the terraces and garden of the villa is fantastic and the location a great base for visiting Mount Etna, skiing , Taormina, Cantina and local vineyards. We can recommend visiting Benanti, a famous wine producer about 30 mins drive away from the villa. Delicious fresh fresh Etna water can be collected from the nearby spring and is a good place to meet the friendly locals. but be warned... In low season most shops/ restaurants are closed so go prepared! The kitchen is basic but adequate. The beautiful terra cotta tiled floor is cold in wintertime so take slippers if visiting in low season. Overall a lovely stay.
