Magnifico!
Giuseppe was an exceptional host and left us with a fully stocked fridge and cupboards of treats. What a lovely touch and much appreciated. The villa was a delight and we could not have imagined a better place, location or view. Looking out over Isola Bella from the patio at sunrise and sunset, and in between was dreamy. We had the pool to ourselves (in October) but laughed that the pool was cooler than the sea that was quite warm still. We spent a lot of time at the private rocky beach and even swam to Isola Bella. It was a 10 minute walk to get food or to restaurants and about 15 mins walk to the cable car up to Taormina. You get used to the walk but there isn't much room for walkers and the speedy cars. We had 6 adults - 2 couples, and 2 singles. The way the rooms worked out was good for us because one of the singles was not very tall and fit nicely in the bunkbed room off the master bedroom. One room is a across the hall, and also fully stocked and beautifully appointed, and that worked out well for us with an adult single using it. Our only minor complaint is that we all felt the beds were harder than we are used to. I will never forget the view and the beautiful pool and facilities!
