We (family of 6 and one small child) had a great time at the Villa in Viagrande. The house is beautiful and spacious and the grounds and especially the pool are superb. The villa is ideally located for trips to Taormina, Catania and Mt Etna.
The house is definitely showing it's age and could need some touches, the bathrooms and kitchen do look a bit dated.
Overall a great place for exploring the west coast of Sicily, even if it might not be the best value for money.
