Review

4 of 5
Submitted: September 11, 2009 Stayed: August 2009
The property lived up to the description on the website with very well furnished and equipped accommodation, a very peaceful location and wonderful swimming pool area. The entire was clean and well maintained.

It connected very well with the motorway with easy access to Taormina, Mount, Etna etc.

The local town was not particularly interesting or attractive but had a good range of shops and some restaurants.

Ivana, the owner's representative was very helpful

It would have been useful to have been provided with travel directions to the property and to have a sign at the gate to identify it

I would certainly recommend it as a location for a restful time away from the designer lead and busy town of Taormina but still within easy reach for good restaurants and wonderful scenery.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Sightseeing, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: Dear Christine and Dan,
many thanks for the wonderful review !
