Malvagna rentals with hot tubs

There are pluses and minuses with our stay: Pluses: We would recommend it if guests don't mind driving as it's 20 mins from Taormina and 10 mins from the nearest shop in the local village. We loved Michael Cafe (excellent granite & snacks and the local supermarket - Maxisconti). The distances to other attractions are considerable as Sicily is deceptively large. The hillside location is very tranquil and the air conditioning and pool were very good. Minuses: We strongly recommend that the owners refurbish the villa with better furniture, bedding(very uncomfortable) and towels (thin and worn) which were substandard as was the cleaning. The IKEA furniture has simply worn out. Also the track leading to the villa requires a small four wheel drive (we had a low car despite ordering a four wheel drive and constantly scraped the bottom of our car on it) or concrete and/or gravel laid. Guiseppe, however, was an excellent host - friendly, attentive and very helpful.
