This place is PARADISE! We highly recommend it! The Lodge is simply beautiful, you can tell in every detail that Cinzia is an architect and that they built the place with love and care. The lodge has an amazing terrace with a stunning view of the sea and the surrounding villages, even Taormina. We enjoyed the fresh air and the scents of all the blossoming fruit trees and flowers. Our 7-months old daughter completely fell in love with the donkeys and the two very sweet and well-behaved dogs (Ben is usually a little scared of dogs but even he liked them :-) ). The kitchen is well-equipped with all the essentials you need, including oil and vinegar that they produce (excellent stuff!). We took walks through the vineyards and were amazed by what Cinzia and Diego have achieved. You should also try their wine and marmelade (YUMMY!!!)! Getting to the Bagolarea might seem a little hard (the way up is a little steep, but really manageable with an average car, we had a Fiat 500L and it was no problem at all), but once you arrive at the gate with the two eagles you know that it is worth it. If we come back to Sicily, this is the place where we will stay.
