About Castelmola
Perched above Taormina on a rocky spur with sweeping views toward the Ionian Sea, Castelmola is the kind of village where the outdoors is not an add-on but the whole point — stone lanes opening onto terraces, Mount Etna smoking on the horizon, and the Alcantara valley dropping away below. From here you can head high onto the volcano and into the gorge on the Taormina: Mount Etna & Alcantara Gorge Day Trip, or trade asphalt for dirt tracks and hill villages on the Sicily Off-Road Adventure: Discover Hidden Villages Near Taormina.

Frequently asked questions
Castelmola sits high on a rocky outcrop above Taormina, so most outdoor experiences here start with altitude and end with water or lava. You can be on Etna's slopes in the morning and in the Alcantara Gorge or on a boat off Isola Bella by afternoon.
