We LOVED staying at Betulle villa!!! Where to start...
- the comments on Airbnb are totally right: I would say that the place is even better than the photos. The villa has all what you need for vacations, including a nice king bed in the main bedroom, 2 comfortable single bed (convertible sofa), equipped kitchen.
- you have a large terrasse with 2 tables (including one covered in case the sun is too strong) with view on the pool and on the sea.
- the swimming pool is just 30 steps away so kids can play alone. It has sun beds and few sofas for a late drink.
- most important is the kindness of Andrea and his parents: from the first minute to the last, they made our stay enjoyable, helping us whenever needed, especially when they came with us to the doctor as my wife was sick (thanks!!). From fresh eggs we could get from the hens in the morning to the late checkout, through complimentary wine, tomatoes, cakes and fruits. They gave us good tips and can book Etna excursions for you. Kids also liked petting the dog Brando.
- last thing that you need to know: the villa is very well located next to Etna, on the hill, 20mn by car from the sea and supermarkets, 45mn from Taormina or Catania. Although you will find some restaurants around, this is a very quiet place where we loved to come back after a busy day exploring Sicily. It is easy to explore Sicily from here.
We strongly recommend this place!!!
