Experience superb hospitality in this place - the thoughtful touches, the quick response to questions from Claudia, and the ever smiling and helpful Mohammed, the groundskeeper. The pool and garden of the villa is a lovely oasis in the centre of Mascalucia. Shops and restaurants are conveniently close by including fresh bread from the bakery around the corner, a couple of pasticerrias nearby.
Mascalucia itself is a good base to explore Etna (35 min drive to Rifugio Sapienza), Catania, Taormina, and Siracusa. This place is a real gem for a holiday in Sicily!
