Pros
1. View of Etna is wonderful.
2. View of the ocean is as pictured.
3. John, our host, was a REALLY nice guy. He tried really hard to overcome the shortfalls of the property.
4. The pool (not a hot tub) was fun because the bubbles were a geyser.
5. Outdoor terraces were pleasant.
Cons
1. No air conditioning in common areas. It was 35 degrees (95F). The house was extremely hot. The villa itself has little value because you have to stay in your bedroom to have air conditioning.
2. House was set up so that bedding is only on the needed beds (e.g., six people consisting of two couples and two children = 4 beds). Hassle when some of the bedrooms have no air conditioning. We moved bedding.
3. Can't put toilet paper in toilets. Europeans will not care. Americans might.
4. One remote for gate. Coordination is tough when there is more than one family / car.
