Friends and I stayed at Villa Venus 2 years ago, and we returned because we had such a lovely holiday then. We were not disappointed this time! The house is lovely - very comfortable for a big group, and is well equipped with everything needed for a really enjoyable stay. The kitchen was very generously stocked with coffee, fresh fruit, water, iced tea and beer, and there was pasta and sauce to make a meal, as well breakfast items, and basic item for cooking. The bedrooms are all well equipped - plenty of towels, bathroom supplies etc, including towels to use for the pool. There are also lovely indoor and outdoor spaces to eat and socialise with friends, or just sit and relax. The garden is very pretty, and the pool and pool area are fantastic. A wood fired pizza oven is a highlight, where we cooked pizzas one night.
Jeanne is a thoughtful host, easily contactable through AirBnB, and replies quickly. Our contact for this visit was again Manuele. He met us and checked us in to the house, and was so welcoming and helpful with information, advice about places to visit or eat, and anything we needed at the house. A very thoughtful touch was a gift of cannoli which were delicious and we polished them off very quickly.
Many thanks Jeanne, and Manuele, for a wonderful holiday in a lovely house, in a very beautiful part of Sicily.
