Peaceful and accommodating
We had a wonderful & relaxing stay despite the disruptions to our flights to & from Catania (airport fire). The villa was clean and tidy but 3rd bedroom did not have air-conditioning. The owners were very helpful, recommending & booking restaurants, all the way to providing home grown vegetables & fresh eggs.

Amazing views
Perfect views, countryside, we didn’t have car but there was no need if you just want to chill by the pool. Host was amazing, always available if required, would have no hesitation returning. Supermarket 20 minute walk everything you need is available. Sad to leave.. Town is approx 40 mins, restaurants open late, this is not a tourist town!! Real Sicily!

Es ist eine rustikale und urige Finca. An einigen Stellen merkt man, dass das Haus älteren Datums ist, was uns aber nicht gestört hat. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Es war alles sauber und ordentlich. Die Lage der Finca hat uns sehr gefallen, ganz besonders auch der Außenbereich mit Pool und Terrasse sowie der Wohn- Essbereich. Die Vermieter sind freundlich und hilfsbereit. Gerne wieder!

Die Lage der Unterkunft ist wirklich schön – in der Nähe von Taormina und den Stränden, mit einem tollen Blick ins Tal. Der Empfang war freundlich und auf WhatsApp wurde schnell geantwortet, was wir sehr geschätzt haben.Leider konnten diese Pluspunkte die Mängel der Unterkunft nicht ganz ausgleichen. Der Pool und die untere Dusche hatten lose Mosaiksteine, einige Außenjalousien schlossen nicht richtig und die obere Tür zum Schlafzimmer ließ sich nur schwer öffnen. Ein großer Teil der Einrichtung wirkte renovierungsbedürftig. Außerdem fehlten einige grundlegende Dinge wie Müslischalen oder Mülleimer, und insgesamt entsprach die Ausstattung nicht dem europäischen Standard. Es gab Kalkablagerungen, die Matratze im Einzelbett war deutlich durchgelegen und in diesem Zimmer war zwar eine Klimaanlage vorhanden, jedoch sehr veraltet und kaum funktionsfähig. Die Außenanlagen waren kaum gepflegt, der auf der Website versprochene Ätna-Blick war in der Realität kaum zu sehen, und die Bilder dort wirkten deutlich aktueller als der tatsächliche Zustand.Insgesamt hatten wir einen angenehmen Aufenthalt in einer schönen Umgebung, würden die Unterkunft in ihrem aktuellen Zustand jedoch nicht uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.
