Great location, amazing pool, PYO Oranges and Lemons fresh from the grounds.
From Villa Etnamare there are loads of places to visit if you have a car which I would recommend on this wonderful island. However, the traffic on Sicily is mental, we drove through Santa Venerina 20+ times and I don't think we ever did the same route twice. A big sign outside the Villa would be helpful as I drove past it nearly every time.
I would recommend either asking for a shopping pack being delivered or pop into a supermarket en route for provisions, there is one in the village.
The villa is amazing, comfortable, clean and includes most of the stuff you would expect to find. The grounds and the views are stunning with Mount Etna on one side and the coast on the other - Wow... and the pool is amazing (It is big and deep so children and non-swimmers should not be there without supervision). There are a few restaurants nearby and some shops all within 10 to 20 mins walk from the villa. A 15 minute car trip to central Giarre offers many more facilities and eating places. McDonalds are all over the place so there is always something for the kids.
To sample life in rural Sicily, this is where it's at.
