A showstopper location in Sicily
Perched high above the uber-glam Sicilian town of Taormina, with sensational panoramic views of the Ionian Sea and Mount Etna, Castelmola sure packs a punch in the scenic stakes. But it’s not just those incredible views. With its narrow, winding streets and medieval architecture, Castelmola exudes an old-world charm that’ll sweep you off your feet.
The village is dotted with quaint cafes, family-owned trattorias and pizzerias, and artisan shops, so you can savour the authentic flavours of Sicilian cuisine and shop for local crafts and trinkets. But if you can bear to tear yourself away from the oh-so-pretty town into the gorgeous surrounding scenery, ancient trails will lead you to hidden gems and secluded spots, providing a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of the village.
