“BEAUTIFUL VILLA”
+The villa is spacious, well-equipped, and perfect for a big family, with a fantastic private pool (deep end over 2m, so extra care needed). Sally was brilliant,always available with helpful advice that made our stay even better.
−The only downsides were that the villa has just two bathrooms, and the upstairs shower has a weak water flow, especially when the downstairs bathroom is in use. This issue has already been reported to the owner. Also, the location is quite remote, so you really need to rent a car,public transport and taxis aren’t reliable, and driving between areas can take 40-50 minutes. Overall, though, it’s a wonderful villa and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

“Great villa to explore the Catania region.”
+Great property. Very spacious. The villa is split over 3 floors, has two kitchens and two large bathrooms. The host made sure that our stay was very comfortable and checked in throughout the week to make sure that all was ok. The pool area is perfect to relax and enjoy the sunshine. The villa is located just outside Catania city area. You need to drive to all destinations. There are one or two restaurants within 10 min walk but the road is busy so not very safe. This property is a perfect destination if you are ok with driving everywhere. It is a great base to enjoy the Catania region and beyond. We had a great holiday staying in the villa and would recommend staying here if you are ok with being a drive away to all destinations.

“Exceptional”
+you have everything you need ! During summer time the owner rent out the whole villa ,rest of the year the owner family lives on upper floor of villa,only rent out groud floor as guest house . There is independent entrece between the floors to give us privacy. Owners are friendly and helpful this is good stop while you visit Catania and Etna .we enjoy so much the local restaurant that recommend by the owner .The food is fantastic and reasonable price. There is a supermarket in walking distance.Unfortunately we only stay one night but we will definitely come back during the summer.

“Fantastic place, unique experience and great host!”
+The villa is on the hill a quiet neighborhood with panoramic sea view, a perfect place if you are seeking for relaxing vibes. The room is spacious, clean and comfortable I like to wake up early morning ,enjoy watching the sunrise with my espresso on the terrace. The host is a fantastical couple , they also offer the cooking class(the husband is a chef) and day excursion for Mt.Etna & winery . They took me to the local wine cellar to taste different local wine also I was able to bottled it by myself which was a great experience.

“Beautiful large villa in a quiet area outside Catania”
+The owners are very nice and maintain close contact. They are very hospitable and also offer tours and give recommendations for sights and restaurants. The villa is large, well air-conditioned, has good internet, a nice garden and pool and it also has parking. The area is very safe. We were able to organize the check-in and chek-out with the owners very spontaneously which made our arrival and departure much easier.
−The area is a bit remote and a rental car is a must. Unfortunately there is only one bathroom for everyone in the villa and the shower is very weak and there was almost only cold water. We also had a broken parasol.

Great ventilation and airco system, feeling the breeze. we enjoyed the location a lot, off from Catania and crowdedness, nice and quiet neighbourhood, but close to everything. hosts are so welcoming, chill and helpful. we really enjoyed the stay.

“The best hosts! Spacious and comfortable accommodation”
+Sally and Riccardo are the most fabulous hosts. From the moment of booking Sally is available to answer any questions and can arrange transfers and excursions. Nothing is too much trouble. The accommodation is a self contained, spacious studio on the lower ground floor of their home. This was clean and well kitted out. When I arrived there was a cooking class taking place upstairs and I was invited to join them for lunch. The food was delicious! We booked an excursion on their boat, travelling to a few bays and swimming in the sea - I can thoroughly recommend this. The sea is sooo clear and warm. We stayed 5 nights and were very sad to leave. There’s loads to see and do in Sicily. We can’t wait to go back!
−Really you need a car whilst you are there. Riccardo and Sally will help you hire one locally so it is not difficult- but if you don’t like driving it could be an issue.

“A perfect introduction to Sicily”
+The property is a spacious studio apartment located on the ground floor of a three-story modern house. Our wonderful hosts reside on the second and third floors above. The apartment is well-equipped (it has a two-person jacuzzi in the bathroom) and has gated parking. Catania and Mount Etna are a short drive away. If you appreciate good Italian food and wine, you will undoubtedly have a delightful stay here. We had a truly wonderful and memorable time.
