From the minute you step foot inside the front door you are instantly on holiday and feel rejuvenated!
Due to a few travel disruptions we didn’t end up arriving until 2300. My husband and I were frazzled and wanted the day to be over. Our children (4 & 6) were exhausted and needing to get to bed, but as soon as we met Concetto, went inside the villa, put the kids to bed, it was if the whole world just melted away. We sat up on the enormous balcony with a glass of Sicilian red, (which was waiting for us on the table), and enjoyed the most incredible view!
We were going to eat out more but if you enjoying cooking like us, then there is no better kitchen, with a view to die for and being right next to the pool meant the kids were entertained so everyone was in their happy place.
We were there for 6 nights 22-28 Oct and struck it lucky with a 28 degree heat wave week so the pool / beach was amazing but with a slight breeze it was great for exploring as well. Definitely an itinerary worth considering:
Day 1: Pool, supermarket shop (Eurospin is big and only 5min in the car, perfect), walk into town, tapas on the balcony
Day 2: quad biking in the Alcantara gorges / visit the gorges by the 230 steps.
Day 3: Mt Etna, cable car from south side, mini hike up to the first crater
Day 4: Taormina
Day 5: Pool / beach day
Epic!!! We have fallen in love with Sicily and will definitely be back!
… if you’re thinking of coming out with another family then the villa is also perfect to share the entire place with 2 other families.
