Giulia was very responsive and gave us a good welcome. The villa, the pool and the garden were great. It is spacious and well maintained. There was a little problem with the second floor, but we got access to the dependance.
You need a car to rent this villa, because the immediate surroundings are not really great. Within half an hour to an hour drive there are many great sites. We went to the Etna, Toarmina, Catania, Syracuse. Also the owner recommended a very nice relaxing place at the sea, with a nice restaurant. We did some nice snorkeling there.
We made quite a lot of use of the barbecue. One little problem: the first night a fish was stolen by stray cats. So pay attention! Also bring bug spray. But all in all, a great stay.
