We spent 7 nights with 6 adults and 3 children at Ottavio‘s beautiful villa in the hills of Messina. We had a wonderful time hanging out by and in the pool, cooking in the very well equipped kitchen, sleeping well in the bedrooms with AC and good mattresses. For us the villa had everything we needed and more. Ottavio was available at all times via whatsapp and was happy to give tipps where to buy or eat, he even organized the little bar in the village to deliver us traditional food, cake and drinks for my boyfriend‘s birthday. We had a very special stay thanks to Ottavio.
One tipp from my side - we found two things very helpful to have with us: Mosquito Repellent and Cars (you can shop in small shops in the village, but for everything else a car is very good to have).
I can recommand this villa a 100%.
