The stay at the villa was great. We had 9 adults and 3 kids staying (one 5year old and two toddlers) and they all loved it. The design of the villa is beautiful and there were plants everywhere. It truly felt like we were staying at a true Sicilian home. During our stay we managed to visit the most iconic cities in that region which were not that far away - max 1.5-2h drive. For wine and food lovers I would suggest to research local wineries and book tours. There are also a couple of Michelin star restaurants in the area. We also took the option to have a dinner at the villa, prepared by our lovely hosts.
