Sicily adventure

The property is ideal, the pool is a godsend and the garden is delightful. Evenings were lovely sitting outside savouring a glass of wine.The villa is well equiped and we would highly recommend it. Francesco and Pina were superb hosts and extremely helpful, they could not do more. We had a car for the duration of our trip which is essential but it was always a treat to get back to the haven of the villa. We would definitely stay here again. Paul and Yvonne

The perfect holiday home!

Wow! What can I say, this place is really special! A lovely Sicilian villa set in a beautiful garden with a fabulous private pool. The hosts are wonderful people who make you feel welcome before you even arrive, they have lots of great suggestions about things to see and do and where to find the best restaurants, bakeries, gelatarias etc. The house is equipped with everything you might need, including some lovely welcome gifts in the fridge! The location is perfect, just a few minutes walk from lots of restaurants and shops, but tucked away in a private oasis The hosts are very friendly and welcoming, they meet you at the property, show you around and then leave you to enjoy this wonderful place. They are always available to answer any questions and help with any problems. We can’t wait to go back

La propriété est très agréable, la maison est très bien équipée comme chez soi, la literie est confortable et le jardin est magnifique avec une superbe piscine.Les propriétaires sont très gentils et attentionnés. Un grand merci à eux Le seul bémol est la route qui est très passante et donc bruyante de la chambre principale mais ça n est pas gênant en journée lorsqu on est au bord de la piscine.La maison est située à 20 minutes de l Etna.

Très belles vacances. - Piscine géniale

Très bel accueil avec des hôtes très gentils et prévenants. Magnifique gîte sans vis-à-vis, espaces spacieux, propres, bien équipés et fournis.Nous avons particulièrement aimé le beau jardin avec sa superbe piscine et sa douche extérieure. Cependant à noter la présence de la via d'El Bosco assez bruyante à cause de la circulation automobile.Merci pour ces belles journées à "Paco's House".
