DO NOT LISTEN TO GOOGLE MAPS. Listen to the other reviewer. Drive to Gallodoro and follow the signs to drive to the front door of Le Peitre. I drove from Taormina and thought the suggestion to drive to Gallodoro was for time savings but it’s actually because the route google maps suggests you take is NOT A REAL ROAD.
When you are 2.5km away on the Google maps route will turn to a dirt path and then quickly become narrow, steep, rocky, and crevassed and impossible to continue. We had to back up and thankfully had a point where we could turn the car around to drive back down the mountain.

Recommended :)
