Beautiful villa with loads of space

The villa is enormous with tons of space for our extended family to be together but also have our own space. There are 3 bedrooms next to the gigantic double living area on the ground floor (1 double with a sofa bed and ensuite) and 2 twin (one of them has an ensuite). Upstairs there are 3 double bedrooms (1 en suite) along with a kitchenette and another bathroom. These rooms have balconies and one has a large terrace, which has an amazing view right across from the sea to Etna. The kitchen has a dining area for 8 so we mostly ate here, rather than the long dining table in the living area. The bedrooms have aircon, not needed by most of us in April but my elderly mother appreciated a bit of heating in her room in the evenings and we lit the log fire too. The house feels cool, which I am sure is great in the summer heat. The pretty (and large) garden has fantastic views in both directions (Etna and the sea), with a covered dining area as well as a surround patio round the house. Bring your ping pong balls for a game! We visited at the beginning April and the superb weather meant that we were able to enjoy the pool too (not heated but very pleasant if you enjoy a refreshing swim). The house is accessed by 2 electronic gates, be careful when you are turning out of the outside gate onto the road as there is limited visibility. We walked down to the village for bread and pizza, be aware that there is no pavement. Highly recommended place to stay!

Wonderful home away from home

We had a wondeful stay in this beautifully restored home. The owner is lovely and very helpful. Rooms are large with comfortable beds and a there is a huge outdoor area with BBQ facilities. The kitchen and living area is well-furnished with a cosy open fireplace. The old grape press creates an interesting feature. There is a small well-stocked supermarket within easy walking distance as well as other small local shops. I would recommend this villa to ayone who wants to explore the area. 10/10.

une semaine dépaysante

Maria et son fils nous ont accueillis avec beaucoup de gentillesse et la maison était très confortable avec un emplacement magnifique pour observer les fumées de l'Etna d'un côté, et la mer de l'autre côté, près de la piscine. La maison est très bien équipée, la piscine est un peu vieillissante, mais très appréciable, et l'environnement est apaisant. Nous avons eu quelques problèmes de coupures d'eau, mais Maria a été très réactive et en moins d'une demi-heure, le problème était règlé.

Beautiful Property

The house is big! Perfect for a larger family. The Property has amazing views and is quiet and comes fully stocked with everything you need. The little town is close and had what we were looking for. We even arranged for Gloria (off Maria's recommendation) to come up one evening and teach us how to make a dinner - it was Fabulous! The only issue we had was the down stairs showers ran hot and cold. Which was not an issue for most of us we just went to use the upstairs showers but for my 70 year old mother who could not climb the stairs it was a bit if a sticking point.

About the host

Hosted by MARIA G.

This villa is very important for my family. As a child, my husband used to play with his friends in this "palmento" (the place where wine grapes are pressed). As an adult he built our house around this "palmento". In this garden, we also celebrated our wedding. Here our children are born and raised. In this house we lived unforgettable moments with our friends, we enjoyed the pool, garden and the barbeque.

Now our children are studying away and we decided to move into town.

Why they chose this property

The location is very convenient, in the middle of the east coast of Sicily, the panorama is beautiful, on one side there is the majestic Volcano Etna, on the other side you can see the Taormina, the Ionian sea and, with clear sky, Calabria, Catania's coast.
