Our 10-day stay was relaxing and lovely. We had the villa and the pool all for ourselves, as the other people living onsite are just Antonio (the houseowner and keeper) and a couple of elderly relatives on the other side of the villa.
Great and prompt communication, with a friendly touch. Our host was able to talk through the history of the place & the buildings and gave us a lovely tour of the outdoor space, with breathtaking views over the Iblei Mountains.
The villa boasts three large bedrooms, with an old-style kitchen with period features. It would definitely suit a large family, as the bedrooms are all connected and the bathrooms are better when shared ;)
The outdoor space is quiet and relaxing. Although we are in Southern Sicily, the altitude yields cooler evenings and there's always a bit of a breeze even during high noon. The swimming pool is large and neat, with a collection of inflatables and toys to have fun with.
We didn't travel around as we enjoyed the place so much we ended up staying in (first post-Covid family stay....). We recommend the nearby Donnafugata castle for a nice outdoor experience.
