We had a great week at Villa Francesca! The hosts were lovely, the house was great (and spacious!) and the location is perfect for trips to the Etna, and the coast (Catania, Syracusa). Relatively close to Catania airport, so a perfect location for a quick getaway. The house is grand, with a great pool (even though cold at the end of october), a wonderful game area and a very well equipped house. The photos are accurate! Communication is super quick through whatsapp with Giuliana.
The villa is in a suburban area, 20 minutes drive outside of Catania, uphill towards Mount Etna. The area feels very safe, and the house is private. You do need to use a car to go anywhere. There are multiple supermarkets nearby, but too far to walk. Also plenty of restaurants in Nicolosi, just ten minutes drive.
Highly recommended for a short family holiday! Thanks!
