Fabulous villa with all amenities, lovely pool and great host
We spent a wonderful week at a delightful villa just outside Catania — it was absolutely cute, and made for the perfect base to explore family‑style in Sicily. From the moment we arrived, the owner set the tone: we began with a warm handshake and ended our stay with a heartfelt hug. Her kindness and enthusiasm in showing us around made us feel instantly at home.
The villa itself had everything one could wish for. The kitchen was fully equipped—even offering proper cutlery and cookware to prepare meals just like at home. Outside, a fantastic pool beckoned for afternoon dips, while multiple seating areas scattered around the property offered peaceful spots to relax, read and spend time with the family. Lots of beautiful trees around.
Accommodation was generous and family‑friendly:
On the first floor, three bedrooms (all double rooms) with shared family bathroom.
Upstairs on the second floor, there were two more bedrooms — one was a double with an en‑suite WC, and the other had a double and a single.
Together, the space comfortably housed our family and felt both spacious and cozy. I really liked the traditional look of the villa.
This villa is ideal for families wanting to explore Catania and the surrounding region. However, a car is highly recommended to make the most of the area. We drove to the dramatic landscapes of Mount Etna, visited several beaches, Alcantara Gorges (gole alcantara), the stunning historic town of Taormina, and even spent a day in Syracuse (Siracusa)—all easily accessible with good local roads. Hope this info is helpful.
Nothing. I wish we stayed longer, it was wonderful!

Lovely host, very good value of money and highly recommended
The property is set in a quiet area, with a very large private outdoor area which is secured by a boundary wall. The host was very responsive and welcoming, and also left us some necessity items. The accommodation is also equipped with ample facilities, including functional air conditioning in all rooms.
Some parts of the house are in need of updating / refurbishment, however all facilities were functional and property was very comfortable.

Very nice facility, located close to Catania and Etna
The house is large, 5 bedrooms with double bed, fully equipped, washing machine and dishwasher, two bathrooms. There is a garden, a small swimming pool, barbecue. A very nice, calm place.
The house is old, so not everything works perfectly, unfortunately the internet wasn't working for all week and everyone had to pay extra for internet in roaming.
Fuimos un grupo de 8 personas y la casa era muy espaciosa, con habitaciones grandes para todos. El espacio exterior muy agradable, con una piscina que nos ayudó con los días más calurosos.
La cocina tenía todo lo necesario.
Bien ubicada, ideal para visitar el Etna y la zona oriental de Sicilia.
Muchos mosquitos, llevad un buen repelente :)

Magnifique villa du début du vingtième siècle. Une plongée dans l'espace et le temps. Un magnifique jardin, de nombreuses pièces à vivre. Un emplacement incroyable au pied du volcan Etna, parfait pour rayonner de Taormine à Syracuse (moins d'une heure en voiture). Accueil adorable de Carmen et de sa soeur Térésa. Un coup de coeur qui invite à ralentir et à profiter. Supermarchés à moins de 5 minutes.
Un wifi un peu capricieux mais bon on est en plein coeur de la Sicile.
Des équipements un peu vétustes mais cela fait le charme de la villa et n'est jamais contraignant.
