We stayed in the villa with 4 persons in September 2018. The whole Villa with its huge and neat garden and pool is absolutely beautiful. The Apartment is cozy, very clean and well equipped. If u travel with two couples, u should know, that you have to go through one of the bedrooms to get to the second one. Sasi, who is also living on the property is very helpful with every question you will have. There are some Pizzerias and Cafés around, but not really restaurants. We tried to go to Catania by bus, but it just didn't show up. A car is absolutely necessary to get around. If you have one, the location is really good. Its not far from the Etna, the center of Catania and cities like Taormina, Syracuse, Noto or Caltagirone (all more or less 1 hour drive). Nice beaches are in the same distance.
