Bella Nicolosi

We were a large family of 12 that we then were joined by an additional 4 for a total of 16 people. The house was very spacious with lots of room for everyone. Mimo was very attentive to all our questions. We have lots of family that lives in Nicolosi so it worked out to be our meeting place with it's beautiful views. Thank you Mimo for allowing us to stay in your lovely home.

Very disappointing

Let me start with the positives. Miimmo, the owner is a really nice host. His communication is quick and he will certainly give his expert advice on what to do. This trip was a delayed birthday celebration for a group of 14 of us. Three different families, with kids aged 3-17. The weather was fantastic. glorious sunshine and never below 32 degrees, so we got lucky in this respect. So the main issues we had with the villa iare that the photos are outdated and they do not mirror the state of the Villa in its current state. In the pictues on the website, everything looks clean and relatively well kept and new. It was far from it. Three people fell off collapsed chairs that were in an awful state. Two also fell through collapsed sun loungers. People were covered blue paint after sitting on a couple of rickety chairs. Most of the furniture was repaired poorly with silicone and ended up collapsing or breaking. The children's swings were rusty and did not have swings, therefore were not usable. The bedding when we arrived was dirty, with insects, hair and cobwebs in all the rooms. Much of the crockery was broken and deperately needs updating. Air conditioning in two of the rooms did not work so we were left sweltering at night. We did communicate this to Mimmo but he did not give a sufficient response so we were left to make do. On top of all this, Mimmo accused us of breaking two umbrellas that were already broken and had holes in them. He charged us £180 to have them replaced when they were actually already broken and not usable. When we were checking out, he was more interested that we had to pay departure taxes for each person than listen to our frustrations. The tennis courts too were not usable in the night (best time to play due to the heat) because the floodlights did not work. When we arrived, the kids were desperate to go in the pool but the pool was totally green and not at all appealing. This was fixed for the following day but we lost a day's swimming. So all in all, I would say the Villa is in desperate need of updating as there are so many things that need repairing or replacing. The photos need updating to reflect the Villa's current state. Despite all this we made the most of our stay and the trip to Taromina was a highlight. We ate at some very nice restaurants too. A car is essential though but the roads are very difficult to drive on. I think in hindsight, we would not have booked this Villa but we went on pre-pandemic reviews.

Best Vacation Ever!

Where to begin with this property! The house was beautiful! There were six of us, off to a family vacation in Sicily, where my husband's side of the family is from. With our two sons and my husband's two sisters, we enjoyed the house, explored Sicily, and just relaxed. We ate in most nights, and Mimo was always available for help with dinner reservations or recommendations. The pool was lovely, the beds were comfortable, and the weather was great. We will be back!

Great Stay

I stayed here with my family (8 adults) at the end of May. The house was more than big enough for all of us, it was very clean and the views and location was stunning. We were a little unlucky with the weather but there was more than enough for us to do. Mimmo was the perfect host, he gave us a tour at the beginning and showed us everything in the house and gave us his number. He helped us organise a day trip to Taormina (which I recommend). He always replied quickly to any questions we had, booked us a table at a lovely restaurant he recommended and also helped us order Pizza. Overall it was a fantastic week thanks to Mimmo and the great Etna House, I would definitely recommend.

Wonderful! !!!

This home was beyond lovely !! Mimo was the best owner we have met and went waayyyyyy above and beyond when we needed him. He walked us thru the entire property and showed us everything we could possibly need, disappointingly the weather was very chilly so we didnt get to use the wonderful pool area, so we are just going to have to go back again. He gave us wonderful direction to sites, an amazing restaurant near the house, he even went out of his way to our rescue when we had a little fender bender with our rental car. if you stay here you will not be disappointed. The house is exactly as pictured, beautifully decorated and plenty of room to relax in the evening. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your home.

Perfect family holiday

We had a fantastic family holiday. The house and especially the garden, are very spacious. Paolo is a perfect host and a very good tennis trainer, we took some lessons with him, which was a lot of fun. He also guided us during a very nice tour through Catania. We even had a chef cook us diner (at the house) the last evening, which was delicious! I would recommend this house to anyone.

Un séjour formidable au pied de l'Etna

Notre groupe de 11 personnes a passé un séjour formidable dans cette villa. Tout était à la hauteur de nos attentes. La vue sur Catania, de jour comme de nuit, et la vue sur l'Etna étaient formidables. La piscine et le court de tennis nous ont bien diverti. Nous avons pu aller à pied dans plusieurs commerces et restaurants de Nicolosi en empruntant le sentier adjacent à la villa.

Amazing place and great attention by the owners

We had an incredible stay! The house is so big and comfortable for big or small groups and fully equipped. The bedrooms are neat and clean, with ac for the hot days and heater for the cold although we didn’t need to use any. We enjoyed the pool and terrace with amazing views as well as the living room and indoor terrace and the barbacue. We were 10 people and so much space for all to relax and spend time together. Paolo and Alessia are great hosts and promptly assisted us with any questions. Easy check in and check out and very accommodating to our needs. No words to describe the place and the amazing time we had there. Thank you, gracias, Grazie!

Vi hade en fantastisk semester och huset var precis enligt beskrivningen.

Patti var en utmärkt hyresvärd och var oss behjälplig på alla sätt och vis. Det enda lilla negativa vi har att anmärka på var att Wifin inte fungerade så bra. Det var dålig teckning samt långsam uppkoppling. I övrigt är vi riktigt nöjda med fastigheten samt semestern i sin helhet.
