This review is super late (from August 2012) - but better late than never! I just remembered as I…read morestumbled across old photos. Wonderful gem! This hidden villa on the countryside of Randazzo was a true and authentic experience. No frills, no tourist traps hotel. The grounds are gorgeous and the rooms clean and updated. The owner let us tour the cantina where the family used to make wine. We were also allowed to sample fresh wine and produce growing from the land. The on-site restaurant was also great. They were just finishing the pool back then, I'm sure it's a beautiful escape from the heat by now. I highly recommend this place and stopping in Randazzo (near mount Etna).

Taormina provides options for tourists: lodging within the city and outside it. This is an example…read moreof the latter. Its disadvantage is that bus transportation to and from the city will cost a couple about $12 a day because Taormina shuts down from 1-4 in the afternoon. So, one might as well join the locals and take a riposo or go to the beach, and return to Taormino in the evening.. It is not possible to walk the distance, Having said that, Agon has many advantages over hotels in the heart of the city. There are five well-appointed, spacious, very clean rooms with en suite bathrooms. A main breakfast area and lounge adjoins them and provides a spectacular view of the Ionian Sea. A small beach is across the street as is the bus and the railroad station, making arrivals and departures very convenient. Perhaps most intriguing is that Davide, who owns the B & B with his wife, is a certified (important) Mt. Etna guide and knows Sicily and the immediate area very well. He can arrange all kinds of tours and has many contacts in the region. In general, Agon, is a good choice in season and off season.

The girl who welcomed us was incredibly nice and welcoming, she spent her time with our daughter on the hammock and talking to my wife and me. We loved the location of this B&B and its history, the food was great and fresh. We enjoyed the swimming pool and Palmi is a very pleasant city to pay a visit to. There is plenty of nice areas to take a beautiful swim (Palmi, Scilla...). Thanks for welcoming us in such an amazing way! Claudia Alessandro and L.

Professionally everything is there; clean and with great comfort. The rooms are big, the breakfast excellent and the car keeps right outside your door. Personally you interact with Mr. and Mrs. Tomaselli on every issue concerning your stay and they put a lot of effort into helping you finding what´s best. When we were not hiking on Etna or walking the woods of Nicolosi at Monti Rossi, we sat down on our terrace with a cup of coffee experiencing the air around this wonderful volcano. Staying at B&B di Alfio Tomaselli meant the opportunity to get to know the life people live and for that we are most thankful.
