A magnificent old house, traditionally and simply and beautifully decorated. We were three generations of family using the house and grounds and it was wonderful to have so much space and options to sit together (or get some quiet time) with stunning views of Mount Etna, the gardens and pool, and the sea! We also saw the white horse on a number of occasions which was magical - and enjoyed the goats being herded past the house most days!
The pool is fantastic - more than big enough when all 7 of us were splashing around in it. The pool area wasn't set up when we arrived, but we managed to find some sun loungers and covers and a parasol and bring them over, which was great. We also dug out an inflatable and had lots of fun with that!
Angelo promptly resolved an issue with the hot water and gave us a small new BBQ to use as the original was out of action. The ping pong table was broken, but we had lots of fun using the table football instead!
All in all, the house and grounds were wonderful, and we had the best time staying at the villa. We were grateful too for recommendations for days out - and the tour guide - Fabio - they recommended to take us up Mount Etna was the best!
Thanks to Angelo and Giulia for having us, we wish we were still there!
