The pool and gardens are as wonderful as they look in the photos. The pool’s warm so the kids could play in it for hours which was great. The palm trees all around were really spectacular. The view of Etna behind it was also memorable. Each property has it’s own outdoor table and seating with a huge umbrella to get shade from the sun which was nice. The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated as are the bathrooms.

The kitchen wasn’t really set up for cooking and there was no individual barbecue by our property itself, only a communal one.

pool, garden and the view.

The house does not match the pool vibe/style To many artwork and Jesus and angels. It is a house for 4 but only 2 people can sit on the couch. Light buttons at the door and next to the bedroom are at least 12. We got old sponges from before. Still food from the previous guests in the fridge. No garbage containers in the house. Very noisy. First night the first house were very noisy. If you sleep in the back the apartment on top has their terras also in the back. 3rd night a group of English people were very loud walking up and down the stairs and talking loud.

The villa is located on the border of the city, and surrounded by beautiful garden (or maybe park rather). The garden and swimming pool is a great advantage, especially because the apartment, garden and jard is very clean. By the apartment there is a terrace with canopy surrounded by the high hedge, so despite of common garden the private zone is really comfortable.

A small disadvantage by long staying with a big family is lack of dishwasher. Some kitchen equipment (eg. electric kettle) was near end-of-life. But on site you always can ask landlady if something works not very well. She's very nice and tend to be helpful even if speaks only Italian and you have to use translator to explain what's going on :)
