The world of Beekeeping
We had such a wonderful week at Villa Malu. We are a family of four, with two teenagers and after exploring Catania, Taromina and Etna, the beautiful town of Castoreale and Villa Malu, was just what we needed to relax. The view from the Villa, especially at sunset, is beautiful. No pictures can do it justice. The pool was lovely, the space and facilities of the villa were great and to a high standard, and I cannot praise the villa owner and his family enough for their recommendations and responsiveness during our stay. We so enjoyed meeting them and learning more about the region. During our week, we enjoyed evening meals in Castoreale and a wonderful morning with a local miller, Giuseppe, making pasta from ancient Sicilian grains, tasting the fruit from his orchard, and then eating a lovely lunch with our pasta. Sicily is beautiful. If you would like to experience an authentic Sicilian town, and support local business, I would recommend a stay here.
