My wife and our two boys had the most wonderful stay at Salvatore’s villa! His son collected us from the McDonalds rendezvous near the villa after a simple 40 minute drive from the airport. They kindly added an extra single bed to the sofa bed so we all had a comfortable place to sleep.
The facilities are excellent; air conditioning in both main rooms, coffee makers, washing machine, DVD player and wifi. The wifi was a bit on and off but still plentiful enough to get by.
The private pool was just what our family needed to help make our stay so enjoyable. The villa is very private and secluded and has wonderful Etna views. Salvatore and his son Alfredo were so kind and helpful throughout our stay.
There is a very big supermarket nearby and shopping mall just down the road, and a great local market for fresh fish and veggies a sort drive away.
Both the motorway and the coast are easily accessible for short trips out, but coming ‘home’ to a little slice of paradise was always a delight! We picked and juiced oranges from the tree in the garden every morning, and had fun making homemade Sicilian lemonade!!
We have absolutely no hesitation in completely recommending this as a place to stay and explore this corner of Sicily.
Book it before it gets too popular!
