We arrived to the picturesque town of Castelmola with the car and we were warmly welcomed by Graziano's parents. The house is newly renovated and is extremely functional and clean. There is a balcony and a roof top terrace with probably one of the best views in Sicily as the village is up on a hill 500mt above the sea level, overlooking the famous city of Taormina. My girlfriend and I loved staying in this charming little town, the people are incredibly warm and welcoming, the restaurants are great, and the narrow streets (and parking lots) are not as busy as Taormina, just 15 min away by car. On top of that, Graziano's parents where extremely nice with us and they even took a selfie when one night we met them by chance in the main Piazza, and on the same night, Ciccino, the owner of the most famous pizzeria in town started to entertain us and even introduced us to his wife.

This little things add a lot to the real Italian (and Sicilian) experience and made our stay in Castelmola unforgettable.
