The villa is lovely with lots of space and well equipped but it is the outside space that is just amazing. The pool is huge and is surrounded by a beautiful secluded walled garden that is immaculate. A perfect green oasis in the gorgeous Sicilian sunshine. The outside dining and sofa areas are the perfect place to relax and eat at the end of the day, with the ever present view of Etna in the background. The villa is perfect but what made the visit so special was the host Cinzia and her husband Alexandro . They could not have been more helpful. They bought us food for the first day, delivered us pizza, cooked an amazing meal for us one evening, booked great restaurants and Cinzia's bother Ivano is just the best guide on the Island. If you want to explore he is your man! The villa is 10 minutes from a great supermarket and 20 mins from the beautiful hill top town of Taormina. Don't bother to take a car, get Cinzia to book Tindaro, the nicest taxi driver you will ever meet. We loved Sicily, we loved the villa but we loved the people the most! Just the perfect holiday.
