The description and photos of the residence do not show how lovely this villa really is. We were very impressed by the communication and advice readily offered by Cristina. We were met by Gerlando and Cristina at the villa upon our arrival with a warm welcome and a lovely basket of fruit, biscuits and local wine. We were given lots of information about the local area, restaurants and local cuisine. Both Gerlando and Cristina were always available to answer any questions or requests throughout our stay. The pool and beach are literally minutes from the villa which is great when you fancy a quick dip. The beach is clean and safe - perfect for children who love to snorkel. We would love to go back to the villa in the future as there is so much to see in Sicily.
