What an absolute delight this property was. We were four separate families all travelling with grown up children, 17 of us in total. There was so much space and independence for each family. The villa is on 3 levels with living space divided into 4 areas plus large communal spaces. The outside pool and surroundings were wonderful, with glorious views down to the sea and to Etna puffing away to the left. The owners, Enzo, his son Andrea and all their family, were perfect hosts. Very accommodating to any requests we made and very quick and courteous in replying both before and during our visit. In fact we arranged for Andrea's wife to cook and deliver a beautiful Italian banquet, including wine, for us on one night, for a very reasonable price of €25 per head. The villa is approx 25 mins away from Catania and within 5 mins walk of the local village (Trecastagni), which had a good few restaurants and small convenience stores. Our main shop each day was done at Lidl's, a 10 min car journey. We stayed during the last week of July and although air conditioning is only in one room (we didn't need to use it), the property remained cool throughout, with fans in all the main rooms, if needed. We would recommend a day trip to Taormina and a visit to its stunning amphitheatre for some wondrous history and amazing views, you won't be disappointed. Park in the main car park before you enter the town and walk (5 mins) or use the free courtesy bus into town. We had an unbelievable time at the villa and couldn't recommend it highly enough. Thanks to Enzo, Andrea and their family.
