Our stay in Villa Maria Rosa was a blast, it was one of the best we had so far. The poolside guesthouse is situated in rural area, close to some lovely villages, like Trecastagni, close to the Etna. We'd stayed there for 5 nights after a few days in Catania. The atmosphere and warmth of the host (Eduardo) was second to none. After our stay, we were fully relaxed and made some new friends. The pool is very large, as is the estate. We were their only guests, we had all the privacy and attention in the world. As for the hosts, Eduardo and his mother Maria Rosa, went out of their way to make us feel at home. They both are talented, and use this to guide and inform us in every way possible, like guided excursions by Eduardo and traditional Sicilian home cooking by Maria Rosa on their terrace deck overlooking the beautiful bay and city from a distance, with the calmth of the countryside.
Overall a must go there, not only for the place but also for the family, and extra plus Eduardo's English is very good. On a personal note, we miss them, but sure we will meet them again. Book and have a marvellous stay!
