Graziella was very welcoming, understanding and spoke good English which was very helpful to us. She gave us lots of advice about where to visit. The places we explored: Etna, Taormina, Syracuse, Giardini-Naxos didn't disappoint and the villa is in a good central position. We had a car so supermatket shopping was easy, there are local small supermarkets and a selection of restaurants within walking distance by the beach. The villa is well equipped and we would recommend.
