After 'scary' drive up to town we were met with lovely sight of surrounding countryside views of coast, coastal towns and villages and Etna. Quaint little hilltop location with narrow streets etc. A good choice of restaurants/ bars etc. Accommodation was clean and tidy , Contact with host staff all amenable and friendly by text/Whats app.

There was a kitchen area within each room but some equipment needed updating , replacing. eg sparse tea/coffee making tools. The only member of staff we met was whilst collecting breakfast vouchers ( office reception in street to rear ) on the first morning of our stay, this was had at a café at entrance to town 70 yards or so away, and consisted of a croissant and a drink. Any extra to be paid for.

great communication, easy check-in, view was magnificent - we highly recommend booking the one-bedroom suite as it has a magnificent huge terrace overlooking the bay with great Etna views. We stayed for 5 nights and started every day with a hike up the mountain, followed by breakfast at San Giorgio Bar. The stay in Castelmola couldn't have been any better.

The interior is very simple and a bit dated which doesn't matter at alll as it is about the location and the lovely terrace.

Accommodation in beautiful little village with excellent views on the whole area including Taormina and Etna. With a bit of neck turning even good views from our window. Kitchenette in our spacious room, hidden behind folding door. Medieval theme kind of cute.

The drive up to Castelmola is not for the faint of heart. It is a very touristic little village. Parking (just below the entrance square) is expensive. It is impossible to drive up to the accommodation, so be prepared to haul up your luggage on foot over sharply rising streets and alleys.

' very friendly and helpful staff - beautiful location, there is a medieval walking path down to taoromina which takes 15 to 20 mins, much better than bus or driving. It took us 30 mins back up - it's tricky w a car and finding the accom w windy paths (anywhere in castelmora) but very worth it for the location - loved having a kitchenette with stove top - v comfortable medieval style room - cold water fountain down the road in the main square

- parking is 11.50 euro for 24 hrs, or 24 euro for 3 days, close to the main square . - the rooms could be better stocked: e.g coffee available in the kitchenette to go w the perculator and S&P as a minimum. (Breakfast is 5 euros), - our room was ground level so we couldn't really open our window or doors without ppl looking straight into us and our room

It is an extraordinary location, with a breathtaking view! It is an extraordinarily beautiful experience even arriving at the location! From the base of the mountain to the room! The host is very welcoming, although we didn't even meet, she was very nice with the check-in at one o'clock after midnight, the room was cleaned every day and everything felt wonderful! I highly recommend it!

Excellent position with a splendid view. There might be different rooms but this one was great. One bedroom suit with a nice terrace, right in the middle of the small city of Castelmole

The shower is a little too small, not a big issue for us but for some heavier persons could be. For parking we had some doubts regarding the payment, once we paid 10 euro, as it was supposed to be the payment for entire day, the ticket came out printed: it is valit until 3 o’clock in the morning!

Balcony views of Etna on one end and steps away from Piazza Chiesa Madre on the other, which offers cafes, gelato, and Bar Turrisi. Even the bus stop at Piazza San Antonio has amazing views. Excursion picked me up and dropped me off, which was convenient. Absolutely idyllic!

Without the buses and the tours picking you up at Piazza San Antonio, I could see how that hilltop location could be a challenge for some. It wasn’t for me.

Beautiful setting, the breakfast was great, room in the end was super comfortable, great value and if you like hiking it was very walkable to and from Taormina in the evening (40mins walk) 😁 The views from this town are unreal, nice and quaint town, perfect location for some peace outside of Taormina.

We had an issue with the room noise level initially. The room upstairs has little sound proofing and the noise was really loud. The staff were great though, and we moved rooms after the first night, which was super quiet. The staff were awesome on this 😁

Room was clean, spacious and equipped as advertised. Location is great in the middle of Castelmola (as long as you don’t mind the winding road up the mountain if driving). Staff were friendly and accommodating.

Parking in town only for locals - paid parking lot (10e per 24hrs) is 5mins away down the hill a little. We drove through the town initially to drop our bags, which is also not for faint hearted drivers 😅

Was nice and quiet, still plenty of good restaurants and bars for a few nights. 15 min bus into the Taormina, with the bus stop a 2 minute walk away. Owner very helpful setting up excursions and was contactable 24/7.

Nothing.
