Am not sure where to start but will try to let you know the things I wanted to know before i booked and before I traveled. I have just returned from a 7 day stay at the villa with family (six adults and four children). We had a fantastic time and can truly say that none of the photos will ever do this villa justice. The view is spectacular and the space is huge, containing everything you need for a relaxed family stay. We all loved the pool ,especially the kids who had to be dragged out whenever we wanted to go anywhere. The location is a little out of the way and requires a drive of around 25 - 30 minutes to the main supermarket and a shorted drive of around 20 minutes down to Riposto if you are happy to negotiate the steep, windy, hills. Driving in Sicily is a little different to here in the UK but if you can be confident and realize that you need to push your way out of junctions then I am sure you can enjoy it as we did. The road to the villa is steep and needs 1st gear and full confidence, we had 3 hire cars which were all fiat 500's, these are perfect for the general roads but did lack a bit of power when it came to the final hill. We only didn't make it on one occasion though and that was when the car was full of shopping, so after several runs at it, we needed to get all passengers out and distribute some of the shopping to the other cars. in the villa itself there were plenty of towels to use, a hairdryer, all the kitchen items you may need, a dishwasher, a washing machine and information (including vouchers) for the Etna tours. All rooms are very spacious with us never feeling over crowded at all. There is WiFi, although it was a bit hit and miss when we were there. The fridge didn't always cool things well but in fairness I think we often stocked it right up which made it difficult for it to cool down, especially if the kids were in and out for stuff. The supermarket stocks anything you might need but I would recommend the fish market in Riposto which Alberto kindly showed us around and negotiated a great price. Alberto also took us to wine shop which was great value - I can highly recommend the red. So to our hosts, i cannot echo enough of what others have said, they are great, we were left alone whenever we wanted and Alberto contacted me to ask if was ok to pop up to fix the gate, but they were also on hand for advice and help if needed. This meant that it really felt like our home for a week, rather than someone else's. The little touches like the pizza party, organizing a private boat trip and taking us...
