The winery is beautiful and the customer service from Marisa was outstanding. The breakfast was very good. We all (5) loved this property and the customer service. We stayed here for 2 nights. Got the delicious complimentary bottle of wine "Etna Rosso wine". Loved it. Highly recommend this place to anyone. Thank you so much for your service, Marisa

Wunderbare, einzigartige Unterkunft. Mitten in den Weinbergen mit wunderschöner Aussicht auf die Küste. Ruhig, schönes Apartment mit kleiner Kochstelle. Jeden Tag 2 Mineralwasserflaschen im Zimmer. Großer Kühlschrank und natürlich immer 5 Flaschen Wein zur Kaufmöglichkeit am Zimmer. Einzigartig der Sonnenaufgang. Gutes Ftühstück. Auto ist aber erforderlich. Sehr netter Strand in der Nähe. Wir haben uns auch mit der Katze angefreundet, die jeden Abend auf uns gewartet hat. Diese großartige Aussicht vermisse ich jetzt schon.

Très jolie domaine. Au calme dans les vignes et oliviers. Possibilité de déguster et d'acheter du vin. Il y a une superbe vue sur la côte de Taormina et également sur le volcan. On a pu avoir la chance de voir une fin d'éruption au petit matin . Petit déjeuner consistant pour commencer une bonne journée.
