The name of the villa perfectly describes it - it is amazingly located in the countryside, on top of a hill, with a picturesque view of the coast around Syracuse, and even Etna itself when visibility is good. It was incredible to spend evenings on the terrace admiring the stars above, listening to nature. This is one of those vacation pearls Airbnb was created to find.
There is a lot of wildlife in and around the house - lizards, several species of ants, butterflies, mantises, beetles etc., unfortunately mosquitos too. The location is rather remote, there are only a few other vacation houses around. The road to the place is narrow and curvy, but exciting, and you get used to driving it after a few times. It takes 15 minutes to get to the nearest shop, which is not open all day, make sure to have enough food supplies.
Grazia is an incredibly helpful host and is always online, despite living quite a long way from the place.
