We consider this location a perfect starting point for day trips to Mt. Etna, Syracuse, Taormina, the Beach, Savoca and many others when time would have allowed us. The nearby small city of Riposto offers all daily needs (supermarket, coffee bars, fish shops, etc. and parking is relatively easy (just do like the sicilians: drop your car and walk away......;-)
The house itself is beautifully located, surrounded by citrus trees and has a great garden, including a terrace with Etna view! For us it was a very nice surprise that we could use the swimming pool (free of charge) and restaurant of the nearby (3-5 min. walk) agriturismo "Terra del Mezzo".
We really enjoyed our stay in Riposto and definitely recommend this location to anyone considering it.
