Large country house with tropical garden and stunning views

Giovanni is a wonderful host and is always at the end of the line if needed. The house is large with the most wonderful terrace with views of etna and down the valley. The garden is lush with fruit of every variety and so peaceful. Gaggi is a short drive from Taormina and large supermarkets but far enough away that it felt secluded. Saying that the village itself wasn’t really suitable for an evenings stroll, not much is open. The house is lovely and spacious and having an outside kitchen next to the pool was a real bonus but I think it could benefit from some updated cooking equipment. A small niggle which didn’t spoil our trip! There is plenty to do and see within a 45 min drive highlights for us being mount etna, gole alcantara and the winding old town and gardens of Taormina.

Misleading

Giovanni's communication was very good & he kindly moved our booking due to Covid. Previous reviews warning "beware of hidden extras" were true: garage/off-road parking is an extra (fine on-road); charges for the extras Giovanni provides were not clear (we believed the limoncello was a gift but were charged on departure). Make sure at check-in that what is included, what is a welcome gift and what is chargeable is agreed. Defects we found with the property were quickly rectified - replacement of dirty, chipped crockery (I’d had washed the crockery & cupboards) & a new coffee maker. Being an open kitchen, food storage wasn’t ideal – some insect problems. Generally the kitchen just needed updating. The website is wrong (e.g. there isn't a hot tub/Jacuzzi) & it does not make the layout clear (no floorplan); advertised as a 6 person (price is actually only for 4 and must pay extra for the extra bedroom); 3rd bathroom is actually on the far side of the pool; the “extra bedroom” has an ensuite, without that there is only 1 bathroom available in the house. The central core of the house is closed & so your space is arranged around the outside giving an unusual layout. The outside kitchen (you are only allowed to use one) is remote from the living area (a 30/40m trek through the garden to get a drink in the evening or cup of tea in the morning - not pleasant during thunderstorms) and that the kitchen to the terrace is a convoluted route – 100m from the kitchen to the terrace is through the garden, up through the house & along the outside balcony. That said, the terrace has lovely views and the pool area is lovely, surrounded by flowering plants and fruit trees. Be aware of cctv camera surveilling the pool area, which made us very uncomfortable. We were warned that the police would be informed if we covered it since there had been an incident at the property opposite where a dog had been killed. We did cover it during the day anyway. It is a quiet neighbourhood; a 10 min walk to a small supermarket selling essentials, and handy for the airport, Etna, Alcantara Valley and Taormina. The local pizzeria delivers and is good value. Giovanni was excellent at booking restaurants for us. Overall, we would have no hesitation in returning to this beautiful area, but sadly not to Villa Pagano. It would take very little to clarify the listing and make a few improvements to bring it up to the standard expected by most travellers (eg extender for poor wifi).

Early October Stay

Despite a few thunderstorms with heavy downpours we were still able to sit out by the pool at some point every day. The property was extremely clean and the owner could not do enough to help. Easy access to the road system and all attractions in the North East corner of the island. Car hire is essential but be prepared for narrow roads and close maneuvers. Overall would certainly highly recommend.

Nice property in a good location

We enjoyed our stay at Villa Pagano. The garden is beautiful and the house is very nice, including the outside kitchen, the terrace with views of the sunset and Mt Etna and the bonus of a pool. Having air conditioning in the bedrooms was great. Gaggi itself is not particularly interesting although the location is very convenient for Taormina and Mt Etna and a ton of pretty villages. Giovanni is an excellent host - we very much enjoyed the pizza dinner - and is full of helpful information. The house cost a little more than we expected when you include cleaning and parking fees compared to some alternatives we looked at and, as one might expect, the garden also attracts a lot of wasps at this time of year. But overall this is a very pleasant place to stay indeed.
