We have just returned from the most fantastic week at Villa Fenice. We turned up in a luxurious taxi that Cinzia had booked to meet us from the airport, to a delicious spread of home cooked Sicilian dishes. The villa is beautiful, with everything you could possibly need to make yourselves comfortable. Our young children (ages 5months to 9years) were well catered for, with high chairs, travel cots, a buggy, car seat toys, and even a PS3 as well as Sky TV.
The gardens including the amazing swimming pool and jacuzzi were a delight, and exactly as pictured on this site.
What made the holiday perfect was the assistance provided by our host Cinzia. Nothing was a problem and she responded to our queries within minutes. Whether it was a meal, a taxi, ideas of places to go, or to fix the washing machine, all were sorted straightaway.
While there aren't places you can walk to from here, the generosity of the host in allowing use of a vehicle makes it easy to get around. Shops, beaches, restaurants all with a 10 minute drive and the beautiful hill top town of Taormina is 20minutes.
With views on Mount Etna on one side, Taormina on another and the sea as the backdrop behind the pool, this is a villa we hope to return to again and again.
