Our family of 6 persons spent a nice week in the beautiful villa in Oct-Nov 2019 and made excursions to Etna, Syracuse, Noto, Marzamemi, Cavagrande and Vendicari nature reserves. We loved the views of the sea and Etna from the house and the very nice garden. Very calm and many nice places to relax and enjoy vacation together. The villa was very comfortable, clean and well planned with many bedrooms and bathrooms and the kitchen was very well equipped.
The pool was very nice and we really enjoyed the table-tennis.
Unfortunately the direct access to the sea from the house was closed (due to path was broken) but it was not far to walk around the area to get access to sea from 2 directions.
The gated area where the house was situated was very calm this time of year and you definitely need a car to access the house, restaurants and supermarkets/shop (there is a small shop/bar at a petrol station nearby). Good location close to the airport of Catania (25-30 mins) and for exploring the southeast side of Sicily.
Thanks Simone and Massimo for being very nice and responsive hosts and for a great stay at your beautiful house.
Ciao!
