we found this wonderful estate farmhouse by luck on our way from Taromina to see Etna. Great country atmosphere, beautiful old architecture of the mill/winery. The meals tasted so good in such an old country setting

We stayed at Rocca della Rosa in early September, decided to extend the stay due to the warm hospitality and good location; with Taormina, Syracusa, Etna and the beach within easy reach.

The rooms are very spacious and immaculately kept. The breakfast in the morning is really 5 star. You shall receive some unbelieveable home cooking from... More
