Villa Teresa is an absolute gem, one of the best properties I have ever stayed in. The house is beautiful and well-stocked with everything you would need for your stay. The bedrooms are gorgeous and well-furnished, with two ensuites. The gardens are beautiful, with planted herbs, lavendar, and lemon trees - very Sicilian! The house is well-located about 15 minutes drive to beautiful Scicli, and about 10 minutes to the coast - I highly recommend the beach at Sampieri, which is beautiful. I also urge anyone interested in seafood to visit Donnalucata just up the coast - the fish market there is excellent (we bought incredible sea bass), and the little restaurant bang in the middle of town, il Consiglio di Sicilia, was so good we ate there twice; some of the best food I have ever eaten full stop, and I am a serious foodie. The pool was fantastic (loved the hammock) but the real highlight for us was that the kitchen has a real wood-fired pizza oven and one night Michele and Oriana (and their little helpers!) cooked pizzas for us. What an experience! Such fun and totally unique. I can honestly say this is one of the best holidays we have had as a family in 30 years of visiting various places in Italy, and a lot of that was down to this wonderful property and the incredible hospitality of Michele and Oriana and their lovely family. If I could give this six stars I would.
