After reading about this interesting island, we planned part of our trip to Italy for Sicily. Our stay at Villa Trinacria was very pleasant. The house and grounds are large, facing east to the Mediterranean with Mt. Etna hovering to the west in back. The rooms are pleasant and air conditioned. The large swimming pool is the centerpiece of a spacious back yard patio. One needs to learn the drive to Villa Trinacria, up a bit from the main road, and realize that all sight-seeing and restaurant eating will be a 15 to 30-minute drive. One feels safe in the villa and surroundings. We were pleased with our choice and truly enjoyed our stay at Villa Trinacria.
