We have just returned from Catania having spent a week at this fabulous villa which is situated high on the hillside overlooking the city and the bay beyond. One approaches the villa via a long drive which is flanked by mature olive trees. The grounds are extensive and beautifully maintained. The infinity pool is superb and has a diving board and superb views. There is a wonderful patio with sun loungers, dining table and chairs. The villa is very spacious and furnished to a high standard. Our host John and his son Gabriele were very welcoming and were keen to ensure they could do everything to make our stay a memorable one.
The position of the villa is excellent for exploring Mount Etna and nearby towns of Noto, Syracuse, Ortygia and Taormina. There are numerous excellent restaurants in Catania. We particularly enjoyed meals at Due Pistacchi and Sagre.
My only constructive comment would be that the kitchen would benefit from more utensils for those wishing to self cater.
