This house was the absolute perfect house for our vacation. The owners from the very beginning were so kind and communicated so well! We had never been to Sicily before so we had very many questions and they were so patient and kind to help us plan our holiday! The house was beautiful. The view is beyond explanation! The furnishings were exquisite. The layout/floor plan was perfect for our group. The kitchen was well stocked, and they were kind enough to do a first shop for us and have it at the house. Each room was very special in its own way and the pool area was fabulous. The pool was clean and well kept. We would love to return.

My wife and I have 3 teenage boys. We came with both our parents and had an amazing vacation. The views are incredible, the beds are super comfortable, the layout of the house was perfect four our group. Close to both Taormina and castlemola. Our flight was delayed and we didn’t get in until 1am and silvana met us and explained everything. She made everything very easy. Make sure you are okay walking some hills. They are not too bad and taxis are an option, but I highly recommend the steps down to Taormina.

We were very impressed with the size of the property and the layout affording you and your guests the opportunity to break away and have some 'quiet time' if needed. Communication with Daniela (owner) and Stefania (manager) was great with a lot of local information provided and very accomodating with luggage due to silly flight times. Walk up to Castelmola is tough and would not recommend if not fit, especially in the heat. Would suggest using the bus or a taxi. There are three walks down to Taormina and equally relaxing however again I would suggest the bus or a taxi coming back. Taormina very busy and has loads of shops and restaurants. Castelmola quieter and predominantly restaurants with a few small shops. Takeaway pizzas from Nina's in Castelmola was a hit for the whole family. Would definitely recommend this property. Thanks Daniela & Raphael!

Our group of 7 had a wonderful stay at Daniela’s villa. The views are incredible both of Taormina and Mt Etna. We were lucky enough to even get a show from Etna while we were there. The location is amazing high above on the mountain. There are a couple of restaurants within walking distance and you can drive up the mountain where the town of Castelmola is located. It’s a cute town to visit. You can walk down to Taormina in about 20 minutes or so on the steps. The villa is even better than the pictures. Inside it’s been furnished beautifully and the kitchen and bathrooms are super modern and beautifully done. The villa is spacious and the separate apartments were really enjoyed by the teens in our party. The pool is a great size and super private. It’s surrounded by lush landscape and you feel totally secluded. There are so many fruit trees and flowers all around. Communication with the owner was easy and quick. Totally recommend this villa.

99% positive: Extraordinarily clean house, sparkling pool, extremely functional kitchen. Air conditioning (much needed) perfectly effective. Minor negatives: beds too firm— and I like a very firm mattress. Insufficient number of towels — but host was quick to bring over a few more. Window shutters a little challenging, but we mostly worried about dislodging a panel. No dryer — as an American not accustomed to line drying every piece of washed clothing. With the house capacity for a large family, the washer is rather small— I spent too much time doing laundry. Would return in a heartbeat!

Lovely villa with stunning views of Taormina & the Ionian Sea. Tastefully furnished with all you need for an enjoyable stay! The owners went out of their way to accommodate our family and make us all feel welcome - including answering many questions and providing recommendations to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. The walk up from Taormina is a bit grueling but worth it for the views. Would love to return!
