We have just had an amazing holiday in Giovanni”s villa. The property was better than expected - the pictures really don’t do it justice. We are a family of five and really enjoyed the space of this large house. The cinema room was loved by our children (great during siestas,) and the pool and garden area was loved by the whole family. We made use of the fantastic pizza oven and charcoal BBQ, and could enjoy eating in the shade of the verandah or on the balcony which looks across to the ocean. We enjoyed table-tennis there too.
The bustling village of Nicolosi is on the doorstep, which offers some great places to eat, an amazing patisserie, butchers, bakery and three small supermarkets. We drove up to Etna, had great fun at Etnaland aqua park, drove down to Noto but mainly just enjoyed chilling at the house and pool.
Giovanni was a super host, couldn’t be more helpful with any queries and offering recommendations to ensure we got the best out of our stay. Mr Pappalardo visited everyday to clean the pool and the grounds. He was a lovely man, very discreet and helpful - offering fresh figs when they were ready and other vegetables from the garden. We would definitely recommend this as a great place to stay.
