Utterly superb week at Villa Scozilia - this place is absolutely stunning. The house is charming and comfortable with a tennis court and a pool that befits a five star hotel. There are other smaller properties on the premises however the layout maintains a sense of privacy. The gardens are beautifully kept with donkeys and chickens (which our children loved) with great use of spaces in which you can relax or eat. Mount Etna had just formed a new crater during our stay which heightened our experience as we could hear the action rolling on with a view of the lava flowing a short distance from the Villa - really really amazing. On top of everything our hosts were gracious and did not hesitate to help us at every turn with requests from having an in-house chef to directions for lava viewing effortless. Scozilia is truly a quality experience and one in which Sicilian hospitality and style are experienced with grace and refinement. If the main house is too large then definitely see if the smaller options are available as you will not be disappointed!
