Our hosts; Nadia and Dario were delightful. They were available at the villa to answer any questions/sort out issues and we found them very easy to deal with.
Villa Teresa is surrounded by beautiful gardens and has a wonderful view of Etna on one side and a balcony affording views down to the coast on the other (available through two bedrooms).
The villa is spacious with a large covered porch/conservatory overlooking the garden. We found the kitchen in this area better to use as the original kitchen is dark and proved very attractive to mosquitos during our stay. I strongly recommend taking plug in mosquito equipment with you. We had a lot of rain and it was very humid which may have resulted in the mosquitos being more of an issue than during sunny times. Being up towards Etna probably resulted in the amount of rain we had however the villa is well placed for touring the East of Sicily and we headed out to Syracuse and Taormina to find see the sights and beaches near there to find better weather. The tour to Etna was definitely a highlight but it is expensive if you are not able to walk at least some of the way up. 30 euros pp for cable car & 30 euros pp for the 4x4 bus to the top.
The villa is traditional in style and would now benefit from some updating of the decor. The only real issue we had was not having sufficient hot water for 6 adults to shower simultaneously. There are three showers but be prepared to stagger timing.
We enjoyed wine tasting at the local Murgo Vineyard and a great tour of the winery. Being able to walk to buy fresh fish in the village for the BBQ was great and the village offers limited but good restaurants within walking distance. Our particular favourite was Le 5 Botti, the food was great and the people there very welcoming. The village is very quiet (we seemed to be the only tourists). The residents were friendly and welcoming.
