Our stay at Villa Sarino was wonderful in every way. Alessio was a great host, communication was always fast and easy. He had no problem with us having to change our arrival time on short notice and was always concerned for our well-being. Since we arrived in the evening he even stacked the fridge with everything necessary for next days breakfast. He also provided us with lots of knowledge on what to do in Savoca and the sorrounding area.
The place itself is great. It provides everything you need for cooking and everyday needs and is stuffed with tiny things that give it a cozy feeling. Even after days you still find something you didn't recognize before. The highlight is the view from the terrasse. Having breakfast there with a view of the sea on one side and the beautiful village of Savoca on the other is the best way to start the day.
The house is on a quiet road just ten minutes by foot from Savoca, which is itself very beautiful and has a couple of nice restaurants and shops. Go to Panificio for some amazing italian bread with dried tomatoes or vegetables!
The only downside, if you can call it that, is that might be hard to get there by public transport. If you are looking for a quiet couple of days, you can easily get everything you need in the village, but if you want to visit the Island, we'd recommend renting a car. With a car Villa Sarino is located perfectly for day tours to Taormina, Catania or a trip to the Eolian Islands. And you can always look forward to coming back here for a glass of wine on the terasse in the evening and enjoy the view of the illuminated buildings of the village.
Thanks again to Alessio for being a perfect host, we hope you'll have many more visitors!
