I don’t know other way to put this: you cannot miss the opportunity to stay here.
It is 15’ away from the highway and closer to Taormina than Catania. You are literally at the foot of the Etna volcano which we saw fume all the time. It was beautiful to go for a morning run and collect cherries from the trees and smell the perfume of the mountain.
The house itself is just perfect: a beautiful swimming pool, a 400 year old pizza oven, a wooden playground under an old tree and a 300 years old olive tree by the entrance door. The rest (and there’s more) you better discover by yourself.
Ah! One mire thing: there is a trattoría 2kms away called “profumi del Etna” hosted by Rosalba that is a hidden jewel.
