WOW, WOW, WOW! Absolutely fell in love with this Airbnb. From the vintage charm of the furnishings, to the absolutely spectacular views from the verandas. This Airbnb is truly a hidden gem! We were recommended to stay here by a family member who had stayed here about a month previously. Initially we were going to go to Taormina. Then we heard is was too crowded and loaded with tourists. After traveling from Venice, Rome, Sorrento and Amalfi, we were ready to escape that environment and didn't want to go to one more overcrowded city.
We were greeted at a local store by Serena's brother who thankfully drove us up to the villa. It was just about twilight and the views were spectacular! After awaking early the next morning, I was speechless! We could see smoking Mt. Etna and the sea in the distance. Vineyards to gaze down upon, oaks, olives and palms aplenty! This was heaven on earth for me!
It was recommended that we do the River Gorge Trekking which we did and then came back and did not leave the villa! Everything was available to cook our meals to enjoy on our verandas - we had 3 to choose from! We did have the Kiwi Suite that had two bedrooms and a typical Italian kitchen with dining table. It was spacious and perfect for our group of four.
I could keep writing on and on about this place, but encourage you to see for yourself! Thank you Serena for sharing your home!
Sincerely,
