We loved our stay at Silvia's villa. It is set amongst beautifully kept gardens with a river that runs through it, we thought that maybe there would be no water as we visited in the middle of august but the water runs down from Etna. It was a real highlight of our trip to walk up river towards the gorge, it really was stunning. The villa itself has everything you could need and sitting out on the terrace of an evening with a glass of wine or a coffee in the morning surrounded by the mountains was special. Silvia was lovely, very helpful and suggested some great spots to visit locally. very highly recommend.
