We visited as a family of four and spent six nights here at the beginning of August. Communication with Rose's son Simon (who looks after the villa) was friendly, easy and with quick responses. We found the villa to have plenty of space, with three nice and clean bathrooms and plenty of beds and wardrobe space. The kitchen is fairly basic but fine for making breakfast and easy holiday meals. The weather was unusually hot during our stay (39 degreees +) and with airconditioning only in the upstairs bedroom the 3 stand up fans that Simon had provided proved indispensible. The upstairs terrace has a great view of Mount Etna and we had a couple of lovely evening meals here watching the sunset. Simon and his parents spend time on the property but are very discreet and allowed us the run of the place, but were always on hand to answer questions if needed. We were well looked after, with the rubbish collected twice during our stay and towels changed once as well. The villa is located at an easy drive from all that you could want to see on this side of the island; Taormina, Mount Etna, Catania and Syracuse are all within easy reach. There are plenty of beaches, both free and with Lido's. Simon provides you with a handy guide of directions and places to see in the vicinity. All in all we had a lovely stay, many thanks!
