Carmela was an amazing host, being accommodating, flexible and very fast to respond to questions. The villa we stayed in was quite small, but suited us as we didn’t spend too much time in the actual villa rooms. Creature comforts were noticeably less than what we have at home, but we didn’t go to Sicily to sit inside and do nothing. The pool was nice and the villa is within a gated complex, so very safe, especially with our young kids running around.
