Such a wonderful, charming and rustique property. The staff were so warm and welcoming and the views of Etna, spectacular! The delicious breakfast was home made using the fruits and honey produced on the property, and Francesca was so helpful and could always be contacted via whatsapp as staff are only available for a few hours in the morning and evening, so you are free to ventrure around the land, or chill out on the roof terrace as if its your own home. There are approx 7 cats who live at the property are very well looked after. The rooms was perfect, clean with a mini fridge and a good shower with communal terrace. The bed is a little hard, but you may like that! The small village of Calatabiano is authentically Sicilian with little to no English speakers, so if youre looking for a quiet and peaceful vacation, this is the place for you! I would advise hiring a car (or maybe the property can hire out bikes) as the old train station is not reliable. Taxis to Taorimina and Giardini Naxos are around €30 each way. The train to Catania, only €5 but plan your timings using the trenitalia website, as you cannot buy tickets at Calatabiano. Thank you for hosting us, we would come back in a heartbeat!
