“Fabulous villa with all amenities, lovely pool and great host”

We spent a wonderful week at a delightful villa just outside Catania — it was absolutely cute, and made for the perfect base to explore family‑style in Sicily. From the moment we arrived, the owner set the tone: we began with a warm handshake and ended our stay with a heartfelt hug. Her kindness and enthusiasm in showing us around made us feel instantly at home. The villa itself had everything one could wish for. The kitchen was fully equipped—even offering proper cutlery and cookware to prepare meals just like at home. Outside, a fantastic pool beckoned for afternoon dips, while multiple seating areas scattered around the property offered peaceful spots to relax, read and spend time with the family. Lots of beautiful trees around. Accommodation was generous and family‑friendly: On the first floor, three bedrooms (all double rooms) with shared family bathroom. Upstairs on the second floor, there were two more bedrooms — one was a double with an en‑suite WC, and the other had a double and a single. Together, the space comfortably housed our family and felt both spacious and cozy. I really liked the traditional look of the villa. This villa is ideal for families wanting to explore Catania and the surrounding region. However, a car is highly recommended to make the most of the area. We drove to the dramatic landscapes of Mount Etna, visited several beaches, Alcantara Gorges (gole alcantara), the stunning historic town of Taormina, and even spent a day in Syracuse (Siracusa)—all easily accessible with good local roads. Hope this info is helpful.

Tranquility and fresh air in July

“Lovely host, very good value of money and highly recommended”

The property is set in a quiet area, with a very large private outdoor area which is secured by a boundary wall. The host was very responsive and welcoming, and also left us some necessity items. The accommodation is also equipped with ample facilities, including functional air conditioning in all rooms.
