This is a tremendous place. The house is film-set good, even grand, and the pool is the best villa pool I have ever seen. Being up on the hills, it gets a very welcome breeze, and the air conditioning is effective.
It's also convenient for the Metro station which is by far the best way into Catania. It's also convenient for the main road that runs along the coast inland, so you can get quite easily to Taormina and Syracuse.
The only problem we had was that a few times the water went off. There was a drought and a heatwave on so I think it's just one of those things.
Overall, well worth the money.
