The villa has a beautiful location, just a few steps up from the sea. We did swim in the sea directly below the villa, however found that this water was quite dirty and contained a lot of rubbish so much preferred swimming at the beach round the corner. It was lovely to wake up to the amazing view every morning.

We were a bit disappointed to find there were only 3 bedrooms prepared for us on our arrival: one triple, one double and one double plus single bed. In our party there were 3 couples and a single person, which was why we chose the villa with the extra bedroom downstairs. Alessandro suggested we did not use this bedroom downstairs as it was small and not very nice so we moved a bed from the triple room into the living room, where one of our friends stayed for the week.

The outside area is nice with lots of space (sofas, loungers and chairs) to sit around. Apart from the bedroom issue, the villa provided good accommodation for our week in Sicily.

Alessandro was a good host and dealt with any problems we encountered quickly.
