A wonderful family gathering in a magnificent villa at the foot of Etna
Our Family with children and grandchildren, 10 in total from 8 to twice 80, spent a week in this magnificent Villa, which has belonged to the host family for generations. Large rooms with high ceilings on two floors. Stylishly classic and cozy furnished with antiques and authentic pictures and decorations and more. Everything lived up to the description.
From the 1st floor there is a nice view of Etna, which we enjoyed every evening. The villa is located in a small park with an exciting Mediterranean vegetation, old trees, olives, grapes, fragrant flowers etc. From an elevated terrace and from the lawn a fantastic view over the coast towards Taormina and the Ionian Sea. The good weather gave us the opportunity to use the large swimming pool. Yes, we couldn't even take advantage of all the glories.
The hosts, Maria and Francesco, are very sympathetic and helpful. The same goes for the house elf Rosalia! We could easily have used another week! And, if only we had mastered a little more Italian.

Vores årlige familietræf gik til denne prægtige klassiske Villa med højt til loftet ved foden af Etna. Den har været i deres families eje i generationer. Det ser man i den klassiske møblering og dekoration, som er overdådig. Haven er nærmest en park med fin gammel middelhavsbevoksning. Storslået udsig til Etna fra 1. sal og ‘havudsigt’ fra terrasse og plæne.
Værterne og husalfen er meget venlige og hjælpsomme!
Bare vi kunne komme igen! CM
