The views from the vast terraces are spectacular: Mount Etna on one side and a panoramic view of the Mediterranean from the other. (There is a busy roadway on the sea side, so much of the time there was traffic noise there.)
The location was excellent for visiting places on the eastern side of Sicily. The bedrooms very large and the bathrooms were fine.
But there were a number of problems that made the stay less than ideal.
You need a remote control to open the gate to enter the grounds, and we were given only one, which was very inconvenient because the six of us were splitting up during the day and not returning to the villa at the same time. We asked Sicily Discovery daily for another remote, and got no response until, finally on our next to last day, the owners appeared and gave us their remote.
We also asked repeatedly for an electrical adapter so that the washing machine would work on the only available socket in that room. That problem was solved days into our stay, when the gardener happened to come and find us an adapter. We also informed the management that there was no working outlet in the kitchen, so we couldn't use the toaster. That problem was never addressed.
Finally, the villa needs a more inviting common space than the room downstairs, which is inconvenient and furnished with uncomfortable furniture from centuries past. The only place to gather inside was the kitchen, at the dining table and an uncomfortable sofa in the kitchen/dining room.
Despite the beauty of the views and the location, we would not rent this villa again or recommend it to others.
