“Beautiful Villa Maria!”

Villa Maria was amazing and we had a wonderful week! Huge, comfortable rooms and so well equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. The views were spectacular, I can highly recommend getting up early to watch the sunrise from the front terrace. Giuseppe, our host was so very kind and helpful. He responded very quickly to any questions we had and he recommended some great local restaurants. You would need a car if staying at Villa Maria as it's quite a walk down to Zafferana and incredibly steep walking back up. I guess that's the price you pay for the incredible view! There are a lot of steps up to the front door at the villa so wouldn't really be suitable for guests with mobility issues. Thank you Giuseppe for being so welcoming, your property really is lovely.

“Warm comfortabel house, super kind host, good value.”

The view of the house is amazing, we enjoyed our stay at this good location, spacious, comfortable villa, the central heating is working very well, this is great for the wet winter months of Sicily.

“Location, view, amazing facilities.”

What an amazing place. Absolutely huge. Great out door area with pool, pizza oven, bbq station and what a view. Highly recommend

“Amazing holiday at Villa Maria”

Our family of four stayed in this villa for 11 nights and oh how we liked the place. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Replied to all our messages quickly. He also adjusted check in, check out times to accommodate our needs- thank you! The villa is huge and spacious, has all you need for the holiday. It is well situated on the hill with beautiful sea views. As it is in the mount Etna's shade, it's very pleasant to sit in the balcony in summer evenings enjoying the view. I recommend getting up early in the morning to see the sunrise too. The villa was very clean. The swimming pool was amazing, it was clean and a big plus to the villa. It was really nice to cool down in it during hot summer days. We did have a car so we could travel a bit. There are few places to see around. There's nearby shops and restaurants too. We all did enjoy our stay and would recommend this place without any hesitation to anyone wanting to stay in Sicily.

To Giuseppe and everyone taking care of this beautiful property – thank you. There were four of us staying at Villa Maria Zafferana, and from the moment we walked in, we were absolutely mesmerised. The villa is even more stunning in person than in the photos – they truly don’t do it justice. The home is beautifully maintained, with charming rustic Italian character throughout. We especially loved the traditional wooden furniture and the gorgeous tiled bathrooms. The outdoor kitchen was a real highlight – rustic, welcoming, and the perfect place to gather and relax. The villa had everything we needed: it was spacious, spotlessly clean, and incredibly comfortable. The host, Giuseppe, was fantastic – very responsive and helpful, offering great local tips and recommendations. Although we stayed in early May, the pool was already open, which was a lovely bonus! We truly didn’t want to leave – it felt like a little slice of Sicilian paradise. We highly recommend this property. Warm wishes, Sandis, Sendija, Māra & Dainis

The villa is perfect for a big familly and the view from terraces is stunning. Everything is arranged for maximum confort. We had enjoyed the swimming pool, outside grill and fully equiped kitchen. There was one of the best place we ever had. God bless you and y family ,all the best !! Hope we ll come again,love your house !

“Fantastic! Would definitely recommend!”

From this beautiful, spacious, clean house with a stunning view, we (a family with two small children) visited Ortigia, Catania, Taormina, Enna... We were able to use the pool in the beginning of May. The facilities are very complete. Also the outdoor kitchen is fantastic. There is so much space and wherever you are in the house or in the garden, you are spoiled by the beautiful view at any time of the day.

“pleasant villa with wonderful views lots of space and nice pool.”

lovely location, everything you needed. host was great!

Fantastic family home, just as described. Very spacious with everything you need. Thoughtful and generous host.

“Truly a perfect week of relaxation, enjoying the Etna and the surrounding area and relaxing.”

Everything was amazing! The location ON the Etna, the house itself, the pool, close to a lovely village, the VIEWS from the balcony! The host was friendly, quick with replies and super friendly. 10/10 will visit again!

“Nice place to really take a rest.”

The villa is adapted to longer stay, you can do laundry, barbecue or cool off in the pool. the house is located on the way to etna, a few minutes by car and you are in the refuge sapienza. the house is spacious and with the climate of Sicily. the owner is very helpful and hospitable. I highly recommand

The place was amazing! The view was beautiful and all worked well. We enjoyed the pool and the house a lot! The house was very roomy and there was everything you need for a perfect holiday! Giuseppe was very nice and helpful host. Grazie mille!

“excellent. didn’t want to leave. will be back soon”

peaceful area. amazing villa. large so everyone had space from each other and well equipped with what you need

“Amazing countryside vacation”

Amazing place. Beautiful so much spacious, you have all you need to feel home. The hosts are super nice and responsive.

“Wonderful place to relax and enjoy”

I liked everything about the accommodation. The location is superb. The villa is spacious, very big and clean. The host was very helpful and nice all the time. He left us a bottle of wine and water in the villa. You immediately feel at home with all the commodities you have at home such as fully equipped kitchen, washing machine, bed sheets and towels for everyone. The host left a cot for my 2 year old daughter. We liked most the bar-b-que and the outdoor pizza oven where you cook with wood. This made our stay very relaxing and entertaining.

“the villa did not meet our expectations. if you plan to be in the villa during the day, take into account the vlimbing t”

- the view - the mosquito screens - plenty of kitchen ustensils, pots and pans - availability of contact person - the pool, the lounge chairs and sitting on balconies - privacy
