The villa is on a main road so be prepared for lots of noise from passing traffic including high speed motorbikes and trucks. The pool area is pleasant with lots of vegetation as shown in the photos. However, we had a number of issues during our stay. There are disappointing shower facilities. The one downstairs was blocked and the owner had to come and sort it out. There was only tepid water which quickly went cold so showering was quite unpleasant- especially as we didn’t have much sunshine so didn’t fancy cold showers! In addition, all water was turned off at night (11pm - 6am) which I understand was a local thing due to visitors in the Alcantara Gorge. Not ideal!
We were expecting to find a file/folder with essential information about the villa (eg rubbish collection, fuse boxes, pool lighting etc) and the local area. We have stayed in several villas and they always have this. We were left a bit in the dark - it would have been great to have some suggestions about local supermarkets, restaurants and places of interest.
Unfortunately we were disappointed with our stay on this occasion. Such a shame as we have been to Sicily before and love it.
