Geamteindruck eher negativ
Zuerst das Positive: Die Lage der Villa und auch die Ausblicke zum Meer und zum Ätna sind toll. Zum realen Aufenthalt: Beim Bezug der Villa fiel uns sofort auf, dass der Whirlpool stark verdreckt war. Deshalb baten wir sofort um die Reinigung. Diese erfolgte, trotz mehrfacher Aufforderung nicht und wir konnten den Whirlpool in der gesamten Zeit nicht nutzen. Die Bezüge der Aussenmöbel ( siehe Bild ) wirkten verschmutzt und daher haben wir sie auch nicht benutzt. Im großen Speiszimmer hängt eine nackte Glühbirne als Beleuchtung über dem Esstisch. Die Villa ist für 11 Personen ausgelegt, verfügt aber weder über eine Spülmaschine, noch eine angemessen große Kaffeemaschine. Lediglich 3 kleine Esspressokännchen für den Gasherd waren vorhanden. Küche ist sehr alt und auch Töpfe und Pfannen arg in die Jahre gekommen. In zwei Bädern hatten wir kein heißes Wasser, da die elektrische Zuheizung der Solaranlage wohl nicht eingeschaltet war. Die Räume der Villa sind zwar sehr groß, vermitteln aber keine angenehme Wohnatmosphäre. Wir hatten die Villa ausgesucht, da wir großen Wert auf einen schönen Pool oder Whirlpool legen. Zudem waren wir auch sehr enttäuscht, weil es trotz mehrfachem Kontakt keine Mängelbeseitigung durch die Agentur vor Ort ( Sicily Discovery Ltd ) gab. Durch ein Unwetter geriet Regenwasser in zwei Schlafräume. Beim Wischen der Böden fiel uns dann auf, dass die Böden dort wohl nicht so richtig sauber waren. Fazit: Größe und Lage der Villa sind beeindruckend, es kommt jdoch kein angenehmes Wohngefühl auf. Sauberkeit des Pools und Küchenaustattung waren mangelhaft. Aus diesen Gründen raten wir von der Buchung dieser Villa ab.

Belle villa cependant, dans laquelle on a l'impression de camper...
A améliorer: - 1 seul torchon en cuisine -absence de verres à vin -Il manque beaucoup d'articles de cuisine pour recevoir 9-12 personnes -ampoules manquantes sur de nombreuses lampes -absence de verres à eau de taille correcte -certaines chambres et salles de bain ne sont quasiment pas meublées (étagères, porte-serviettes) -pas de micro-ondes -pas de bouilloire électrique Globalement, l'équipement est chiche. Par ailleurs, tres belles vues, maison spacieuse et emplacement trés bien.

Very interesting place but not completely clean
The stay was in a very large part of a huge mansion with many interesting things, including an extraordinary dark wooden spiral staircase, three floors, multiple decks, ornate decor, a wine cellar with old wine bottles going back to 1920, at least 6 bedrooms, and enough nooks and crannies such that if you ever played hide and seek here, you probably would give up trying to find the person. However, the kitchen on the second floor (there was also one on the third) was not clean - the sink was dirty and ants were running around in the utensils drawer, and one of the showers was very slow to drain (a plumber was called and it could be fixed by now). The floors were also not very clean and would not be appropriate for small children crawling around. But if you are interested in fine decor and an elaborate house to study, this place will keep you engaged.

Fantastic, unbelievable views!!!!!
This is a wonderful big home with fantastic views. We booked with sicily discovery and GIULIANA was our contact. She was so helpful with everything we wanted to do. The house has a small kitchen and two bedrooms with bath on third floor. The second floor houses the same with two dinning rooms. Lots and lots of outdoor living. The first floor we never used. They have clean hot tub but we did not use it. The location needs a car. Very good launch point to tairmina and Catania. Very small fishing village close by that was charming. Kitchen appointed well except for some cooking utensils with I informed them of. Also the washer was not hooked up. They may do that soon. I would come back to this place again. We had a very memorable time. The owners were wonderful and very sweet. There is a very good restaurant within walking distance. Thanks again for making our trip so special.
