We brought our kids and their spouses for a week in Sicily. The house was a great size with all the bells and whistles for a good time. We enjoyed sitting on the back terrace for dinner, wine, card games and the beautiful view of town. Grocery store and some great restaurants were just down the road. We actually walk to the store a number of times. The villa is located in the middle of the island and it was an easy drive under 2 hours to get anywhere. We enjoyed guided tours of the Mt Etna wineries and an archeology tour of Syracuse as well as our own visits to Cefalu, Agrigento, Palermo and The Villa Romana del Casale. Pietraperzia is a lovely quiet hill town with beautiful ruins on the top. If you are looking for quiet nights and an easy drive to the best of Sicily this is your place! Thanks Dee!
