What a wonderfull time we had in Sicily at Pascals place. We stayed for 2 weeks with eight people at the Villa. Pascal is a really nice host. The greatest thing is definitely the view. You overlook the sea from many rooms and all terraces. At the other side of the bay is the amazingly beautiful Etna Vulcano- it's really an everytime wow effect when you see it. The Villa hast various terraces to enjoy the sun and the amazing view with sofas, sunbeds and a Hollywood swing. The pool is great. There's table tennis and tennis courts we used a lot. There used to be some stairs leading directly from the villa to the sea shore but they are closed now. A bit of a pitty. Still the sea is in a 10 Minute walking distance. There is not really a beach, but some structures to lay down and put your towel, have a bath and snorchel- the latter is really good there. All near by beaches are not really outstandingly beautiful, but we were happy to be at the pool and enjoy the villa.
Inside, the villa has a really great kitchen. The rest of the house is neither posh nor very luxurious, it is a family house were Pascal and his family use to live in other times of the year. So no styled interiour but nice and comfy. Still I would say the house is more of a good weather place, when you spend most of your time at the ourstandingly beautiful terraces. For the summer months I can absolutely recommend it!
Pascal is a really nice and helpful host. We forgot something at the villa and he made a huge effort and even drove to Catania airport to bring it after us. He doesn't speak very much english though, which made it come in handy, especially during check-in, that there were some italians in our group. But even without speaking italian: with some phone translaters and hand and feet it isn't much of a problem.
Thank you Pascal for all of your help and for the wonderful time we spent at your place! Next time, please tell the Etna to do some of its Shenanigans when we are there and can watch and not one week later!
