Overall a very nice property ideally located on the Ionian coast with Mt Etna in your backyard! Very convenient to Taormina and Catania. The property is beautiful and spacious. We had a party of 11 people and never felt crowded for space. The food services by Maria and Maria was outstanding and delicious! I would highly recommend this property and the women who made breakfasts and dinners for us in the villa!

We loved the outdoor pizza oven, outdoor grill, outdoor seating options and ping pong table. And of course, the view was spectacular. Also, the beds were really comfortable. Our family spent a memorable evening making homemade pizzas in that fabulous oven and enjoying them around the large farm style table. It's a vacation memory we will cherish.

Overall a very nice property ideally located on the Ionian coast with Mt Etna in your backyard! Very convenient to Taormina and Catania. The property is beautiful and spacious. We had a party of 11 people and never felt crowded for space. The food services by Maria and Maria was outstanding and delicious! I would highly recommend this property and the women who made breakfasts and dinners for us in the villa!

We loved the outdoor pizza oven, outdoor grill, outdoor seating options and ping pong table. And of course, the view was spectacular. Also, the beds were really comfortable. Our family spent a memorable evening making homemade pizzas in that fabulous oven and enjoying them around the large farm style table. It's a vacation memory we will cherish. Thanks to the owner for sharing his special property with us!
