A large and impressive villa with architectural remnants of its original function. The pool is impressive in size and depth and ample for our group of ten adults. The backdrop of a smoking Mount Etna is very impressive.
There are several places around the property to relax and sit in shade or lay back and soak up the sun without the feeling of over-crowding. Due to the fantastic weather we had, all meals were taken outside, under shade and by the pool, several cooked in the separate barbeque building.
A car is essential for getting around, even to Aci Sant Antonio. We had planned to visit some of the larger towns and cities such as Catania and Syracuse but there was more than enough to keep us in the local area of Acireale, Aci Trezza and Aci Castello.
