Yes the hill is steep but it’s not too long and two mid 60 year olds made it no worries. It was a nice workout after dinner. And it was all worth it for the view! It’s tremendous, and it’s very peaceful up there after the bustle of Taormina.
The house is as depicted, well-provisioned kitchen, lovely bathrooms ( but watch the step in the green bathroom!) comfy beds, and all the while that stunning blue space out the windows and the lights of Calabria twinkling at night.
The host family weren’t there but were in close contact, and Francesco organised a taxi pick-up fromthe station.
Lovely.
