4/5 - Good

Castelmola is a small town on a hilltop. It's within easy reach of Taormina but is less busy and touristy. I'd definitely recommend staying in Castelmola and taking the bus to Taormina for the day.

5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveller
Castelmola was definitely a breathtaking venue . Spoiled for choice : Mt Etna & Taormina bay Also much quieter than Taormina which was crowded. Loved walking through the tiny narrow cobble streets .So many little eatery places and cafes.
