We are a Swedish family, seven adults and five children and we had a very nice week in Villa Arcile at the end of June 2017.
Before the trip we were in contact with Enrico and he helped us sort out everything in a fast and accurate way. Arriving to the villa we were welcomed by Enricos father Luigo and during the week Nuccio, the housekeeper, helped us in many ways.
The villa, the pool and the garden are beautiful and well kept and the kitchen is well equipped. The visit to the hens to pick up the fresh eggs was the daily highlight for the small children. Our week was very hot so we spent a lot of time in the pool.
The villa is situated in between the two interesting towns Catania and Syracuse and we went to those cities as well as Taormina.
But not far from Villa Arcile is Brucoli and Augusta located, two towns which are not on the main route for tourists. We bought good vegetebales and fruits at the local markets in Augusta and Brucoli, we had our daily cup of coffe and ice cream at the local cafe in Brucoli, we had dinner at a nice local restautant in Brucoli and got a good haircut at a barber in Augusta.
We lived a little bit of a Sicilian way of live for a week. And that was a lot of fun!
