La Villa

La Villa was one of the best holiday experiences we have ever had. The rooms and grounds are absolutely gorgeous. It is easily accessed from a main road and access to the supermarket (10 mins walk) but it feels very private and exclusive. We stayed in the ground floor pool view room which was well equipped and neatly furnished. The highlights of La Villa were the wildlife, gardens and large pool. The breakfast provided by Victoria was delicious and the service was 10/10. Savoury and sweet crepes and flatbreads, cakes and baked, fresh juices and fruits, delicious scrambled eggs and bruschettas. Paola and Giddy made us feel very much at home, nothing was any hassle for them and they were attentive yet also wanting to give us peace and space which is a hard combination to get right - but they absolutely nailed it. The cooking facilities are more than enough for a few families or couples who may be staying at La Villa at the same time. There is ample room in the fridge for daily groceries and the kitchen is well equipped with all the basic utensils and kitchen wares you need. Giddy has a well stocked bar and offers cocktails freshly made. It is a stunning location, relaxed and friendly. We wish we spent more time relaxing here - a definite return trip for us!

Geese and dogs. Horses too

Beautiful setting with clear views of Mount Etna. Breakfast beside the lovely (and large) swimming pool was a highlight.

This place is amazing. It is a little tricky to find as it is hidden away, but wow what a beautiful place and the most amazing pool too (set into ancient volcanic rock), which is shared with other apartments. Our apartment had three rooms and a bathroom, as well as two lots of veranda seating. Really big comfortable bed in the main room. Breakfast (vegetarian and all local produce) is served down at the pool side, where there are also shared kitchen facilities, toilets and an outdoor shower. There is a supermarket nearby if required. And lots of restaurants and nightlife in the local towns. We loved this place so much and will definitely come back if we return to Sicily. Only regret was booking just two nights .
