Grandfather Mariano's House - Tourist Accommodation - CIN IT083058C2P3N2T97U

Motta Camastra is a family treasure that has been painstakingly and beautifully restored. The town is very old, population about 800. The residents are very friendly and helpful. The town sits on a mountain top with beautiful vistas and fabulous sunsets. Fabulous views of Mt Etna. Not the easiest to druve to sitting on a mountain top. VERY winding road up to the town with many SHARP hairpin turns--not for the faint of heart! Host and hostess were extremely nice.

Close to Franca Villa, Castiglione. Short ride to Giardini Naxos.

The place was very clean Owners were very helpful and friendly

We had an amazing time staying at this wonderful property in Motta Camastra. Our children loved that the house has 3 levels and especially that they have their own floor, just for themselves. The house is beautifully renovated incorporating old and new. Signore Mario had everything ready for us and made us feel like we're at home. There was milk, water, coffee, breakfast goodies waiting for us. That was so sweet and kind of him! The place was impeccably clean with many beautiful little details (soaps in the bathrooms, dish detergent, toilet paper, blow drier, everything you would need in an apartment). But also there are many stores in the city and close buy if you need anything (for example Eurospin). But also the whole village of Motta Camastra were so welcoming - we have never experienced so much welcome!!! Our kids made friends with the local kids, we met all the people and had nice conversations with them, enjoyed watching soccer games at one of the piazzas just above the house, we went to the local barber shop where my son had the best haircut ever!!! There is so much to see and do in this area; beautiful Taormina, Gole Alcantara, wineries etc. Even Etna made our stay so special and one night we saw an eruption, it was so amazing and beautiful! We are hoping to visit again next year. P.S. There is lots of parking spaces by the Post Office and Municipio, at Via Umberto I and just under on Via XX Settembre. We had no problem parking our Honda Odyssey van. Grazie mille per un meraviglioso soggiorno e ospitalita!!!
