A beautiful villa with amazing views, a nice pool, and with impeccable hosts. Rather remote but perfect if you want to do a bunch of walking and chilling in the shadows of the Cyclopean forge, with some sport climbing only seven minutes away as well.

The villa had everything we needed and offered a ton of privacy. The front patio offered ocean view and the back patio a beautiful view at Mount Etna. We often watched the sunset over the volcano with a glass of wine and then had dinner while enjoying the ocean view on the other side. The entire property was huge and it felt like living in middle of the woods. There were lots of fruit trees in the back yard surrounding the pool area. The host was very helpful and provided us with precious information on what to visit nearby. A warm thank you to the host for letting us stay at this awesome place.

Traumhafte Woche in der Villa Cocuzzolo!Absolute Traumlage mit spektakulärem Blick auf Ätna und Meer! Die Villa ist großzügig geschnitten und perfekt ausgestattet - moderne Küche mit Geschirrspüler, drei gepflegte Badezimmer und praktische Waschmaschine.Das Highlight ist definitiv der private Pool mit der atemberaubenden Aussicht! Hier haben wir die meiste Zeit verbracht und jeden Moment genossen. Der Patio lädt zum Entspannen ein, ob beim Morgenkaffee oder Sundowner.Die Lage ist ideal für Sizilien-Erkundungen - nah am Ätna und schnell am Meer. Nach ereignisreichen Ausflügen bot der gepflegte Garten eine grüne Oase der Ruhe.Ausstattung tadellos: Smart-TV, Klimaanlage, vollständige Küchenausstattung. Alles sehr sauber und gepflegt. Die großzügigen Räume bieten viel Platz für die ganze Familie.Unbedingt den Sonnenaufgang über dem Ätna vom Pool aus erleben - magisch! Wir kommen definitiv wieder. Diese Villa macht den Sizilien-Urlaub zu etwas ganz Besonderem. Rundum empfehlenswert!
