Fabulous place. Very hospitable, charmingly and uniquely decorated, unsurpassable view of Etna (from the superior room). Breakfast was generous, with lots of choice and Sicilian specialties. Reception staff were all helpful and knowledgeable. Pool and terrace were great, with splendid views. Associated restaurant (La Caverna) is in a cave and worth a visit. Castelmola is a pretty village (bit touristy but not as much as Taormina). Only drawback is you definitely need a car, and it’s a bit of a (hairy) drive to go anywhere else. But we were much happier staying there than in Taormina, which is way too crowded (and more pretentious).
