Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön angelegt mit mehreren Ebenen und gemütlichen Ecken. Durch die verwinkelte Architektur kann man sich jederzeit zurückziehen – ob in der Sonne, im Schatten oder einfach etwas abseits der Gruppe. Gleichzeitig bietet die große Außenküche einen perfekten Ort, um zusammenzusitzen und gemeinsam Zeit zu verbringen. Das Highlight für uns war der beeindruckende Blick auf den Ätna – besonders schön von der Sitzecke am Pool aus.

Ein kleiner Hinweis zur Verbesserung: In den einzelnen Zimmern fehlen Haken oder Ablagemöglichkeiten, um Jacken oder Handtücher aufzuhängen. Auch Stauraum für Kleidung wäre wünschenswert gewesen. Wir konnten unsere Sachen für den zehntägigen Aufenthalt leider nicht richtig ausräumen und mussten sie im Koffer lassen – das fanden wir etwas schade. Zudem hätten wir uns gefreut, wenn der Außenbereich zwischendurch etwas gereinigt worden wäre. Gerade im Oktober sammeln sich viele Blätter und Zapfen rund um den Pool, was den schönen Außenbereich etwas beeinträchtigt hat.

We had a fantastic stay at this villa in Sicily – it truly offers a little slice of paradise with unforgettable views of Mount Etna. The outdoor space is the highlight: beautifully landscaped, spacious, and thoughtfully designed with six separate seating areas to relax or dine in. The pool is stunning – perfect for both cooling off and soaking in the views. The villa is very well-equipped with pretty much everything you'd need for a comfortable stay. The outdoor kitchen is a great touch, and we really appreciated the air-conditioning in the bedrooms. Two of the three bedrooms in the villa had its own bathroom, with the other just across the hall. Local shops are conveniently close, with everything you could need food wise, and Gardini Naxos is just a 5-minute drive away for beach trips or dinners out. Nunzio our taxi driver was a godsend! Roberto was very helpful before and during our stay. Overall, a beautiful property with unbeatable views and great amenities – with just a few fixes, it could easily be five stars!

There were a few drawbacks. We did have to contend with a lot of mosquitos, not the fault of the villa, but just be aware. The umbrellas around the pool were broken, which limited shaded seating. That said there are other places in the shade, just not lounging by the pool. We couldn’t get the oven inside the kitchen to work, but that wasn’t too inconvenient. The fourth bedroom was away from the main villa, cute but the bed could do with a more comfortable mattress. More hanging and drawer space in the bedrooms would also have helped. Also, while Taormina is stunning, it’s a 20-minute drive away, so be prepared to plan outings accordingly.

- big and very nice garden with several places where you can sit / read / drink etc. you could eat delicious oranges and citrus from the trees - nice pool to swim - cooking facilities incl pizza oven outside - every room has its own bathroom

- you have barking dogs in the neighbourhood (but that’s normal for Italy)

The home was absolutely incredible. Everything felt Sicilian.

I rented a villa WITH a pool and jacuzzi. I was told by the caretakers that to use the jacuzzi it was a €200 charge. Which was a "discount". The jacuzzi was set up but smelled of mold. The pool was also never cleaned as we were told it would be the following day.
