A beautiful house surrounded by nature
This villa is stunning. Our family of 4 had amble space and very much enjoyed the large pool and beautiful balcony area, from which we watched falcons and foxes each night. Carmelo couldn’t have been more helpful and was really friendly. He was available on WhatsApp every day.

Amazing big house in the hills. We had loads of space and the facilities were excellent. Lovely pool with plenty of space and loungers and seating. Carmelo was a really nice chap very helpful. His recommendations for local restaurants and things to do were really good. Definitely needed a hire car to get around. There’s a downstairs bedroom too for those that aren’t able to do stairs. Overall great stay.

Villa is fantastic
Located 3kms outside Francavilla and an hour from Catania airport it is set in a lovely area close to the foot of Mount Etna. It would appear to have previously been a boutique hotel or band b with 5 bedrooms all double or can be twin, but it is now rented out as an entire villa. All the bed rooms are Ensuite and are to a very high standard with very comfortable beds and generally the finish down to the black out curtains is very luxurious. The kitchen is a fully kitted out industrial one which is great for cooking which we did a lot of . The outside area is excellent too with a very large and lovely pool and the grounds are very well kept and there is plenty of seating too. It can comfortably accommodate 10 people but we were a smaller group of 6 . The owner was very helpful if needed and suggested local activities e.g wine tasting . This villa is an excellent choice if you are looking for a bit of luxury , space and set in the countryside .

Great holiday
We booked 2 weeks in July 2015 and had a fantastic stay. The villa had plenty of space for all of our family and the outside and pool area in particular was fantastic. Carmelo and Rosangela could not have been more helpful and were always available for any questions or to suggest excursions or anything else we needed. A car was essential but we found the villa to be an excellent base to explore what the east of Sicily has to offer.
