This is a superb villa for a great family holiday. The pictures do not lie. An easy walk to the supermarket and down to the little bay for afternoon dips in the sea before catching the long low rays back by the pool. Augusta doesn't offer much so a car is essential if you want to be active but if you want to just soak up the sun and chill then this is the place for you. A taxi from catania airport for 6 people was €90. We picked up a car midway through the stay and in hindsight should have got a car from the start but because the villa is so good it didn't matter too much. Catania and Syracusa are easy 30-40 minutes drives. Luciano and his family were great hosts and we highly recommend their lovely home.
