The Riposto villa is perfect if you are looking for peace and relaxation. It is also the perfect place for families with young children as the gardens are a delight and there is plenty of room for kids to play. However, be aware that it is quite remote and a car will be necessary to get around. If you are not used to the Italian provincial roads, you might find the experience quite hair raising.
We had to leave our trip early as my husband had a leg injury and we needed to visit a doctor in Catania.
Apart from that we enjoyed our time in the villa and some respite from the hectic Italian cities.
