Amazing place

This home was extremely comfortable and the outside space was exceptional. But what made this place really outstanding is the amazing host Isabelle. Our friend that rented our car lost her license and was unable to secure the car. Isabelle connected us with an amazing car service and saved our vacation. I highly recommend staying here! The place is beautiful and so are the people.

The Palace is incredible!

The Palace is just that, a Palace. The rental had unique architecture with several curved walls and staircase, quality marble and tile work along with incredible taste in decorating made this spacious rental a joy to stay in. Every bedroom and living area had a unique chandelier or lighting, and each bedroom consisted of grand quality beds and furniture. The heating/cooling was all electronically regulated and set on timer making the Palace temperature always comfortable. The property is surrounded with security fencing and we were provided with an electronic gate opener for secure parking of our car rental. There was even a hose in the parking area that we used to wash our car rental before we returned it which was such an added plus. And views! The balcony off the kitchen had a table and several chairs where we sat in the morning with our coffee looking out over the ocean in the distance watching the morning sun come up, and in the evening the twinkling area lights, it was mesmerizing. The rental is located in a peaceful residential area away from the hectic congested traffic of the Commune and after a day of driving in Sicily’s narrow nerve wracking streets we always looked forward to coming back to the peaceful Palace. The well manicured grounds and gardens around the Palace offered us lawn furniture to sit and enjoy the blue sky, sunshine and wonderful ambiance. Isabelle and her family live close and were always available to answer questions or help and were very gracious hosts. Our trip to Sicily was due in part to visit the Commune that my husband’s family came from, and for 16 days we enjoyed our Sicilian experience. We spent 4 nights at the Palace and spent time in Palermo and in Agrigento Province and I must admit at this time we should have spent less time in Palermo and more in the area of the Palace. The Palace is close to both Catania (and airport) and Taromina which is a fabulous place to visit plus Mt. Etna an incredible sight to behold. We encourage anyone considering visiting Sicily to visit in the so-called off season as the weather from the middle to the end of March was rain free, blue skies, no humidity and perfect! I even got a little sunburned one day, but a light sweater is needed for the evenings. One big suggestion is make certain you take a GPS with you as you will need it, and stay at the Palace. You will feel like royalty! Thank you Isabelle for a wonderful stay

Unser Aufenthalt in diesem Domizil war sehr sehr schön. Das Haus ist großzügig geschnitten und hat definitiv ein gewisses Flair. Es ist alles, was man benötigt, vorhanden und es war sehr sauber. Die Inhaber,!! Isabelle Domenico nebst Sohn sind phantastische Menschen und sehr hilfsbereit. Wir sind nach 4 Tagen noch in das andere Haus gezogen, da es einen Pool hat. Auch sehr zu empfehlen. Endfazit unsererseits: Wir kommen definitiv wieder !!! Unserer besonderer Dank gilt Isabelle :) sie ist mit Worten kaum zu beschreiben. See you soon !!

Luxury

It is unusual to find this level of luxury in a small town in Sicily. The home is spacious, very well appointed and furnished, and very clean. The appliances are first rate - kitchen, washing machine, A/C units in each room, and motor controlled blinds/shutters. The outdoor area is private, with good provision for protection from sun and flies. The private parking area is also private and secure. The manager Isabelle was very helpful and responsive, and provided some typical pastries on our arrival. Our only disappointment was not to find restaurants or food shops within easy walking distance, although they are at less than 3 km. It is also a good central spot for exploring Etna, Catania, and Taormina while providing a peaceful oasis at day's end.

idéal pour se reposer au calme

La propriétaire est charmante. Très serviable et réactive. La maison est magnifique, très bien entretenue. Parfaite pour les familles nombreuses. La situation géographique permet de rayonner dans toute la Sicile. Nous gardons un très bon souvenir de notre séjour et nous recommandons vivement la maison.

Au pied de l'ETna

Au pied de l'Etna, mais on tout confort (même une douche à jets), spacieuse au calme. Nous avons particulièrement appréciés l'accueil de la propriétaire et le fait qu'il y avait de quoi se faire le petit déjeuner (lait, yaourt, pain, beurre, confiture) qui nous attendait dans le frigo : appréciable quand on voyage léger. Idéal pour aller escalader l'Etna, à 30mn de l'aéroport de Catane. Que demander de plus. Merci

Most welcoming host, wondeful residence,

Upon arrival we were welcomed warmly by Isabelle which showed us the residence. The place is spacefull, very clean and well equipped, one might even say luxurious. Every small detail thought of and it gave us the feeling as being at home. Some refreshments were waiting for us and the welcoming smile of Isabelle gave us a warm and homely feeling. Isabelle was very helpfull but really one does not need anything else because all was there. Anything that we expected and even more. Our stay was most enjoyable and we will definiely consider coming back. Thank you Isabelle.

Casa fantastica, host meravigliosa

La casa è enorme, pulitissima, con tutto quello che uno potrebbe volere. Tutto funziona a dovere. Non abbiamo provato il bbq e il tavolino in giardino per mancanza di tempo visto che stavamo fuori tutto il giorno. La padrona di casa è stata sempre di aiuto, sempre pronta a consigliarci. Consiglierei questa casa ai miei amici, certamente. Se potesse migliorare qualcosa, direi che manca un microonde e il wifi al piano di sopra. La casa è assolutamente fantastica.

VILLA LUXUEUSE AU PIED DE L'ETNA

Grande maison séparée en 2 parties immenses et vraiment privatives avec vue sur la mer et jardin paysager. Cette maison aux innombrables balcons panoramiques est à l'état neuf. Très confortable et moderne avec décoration de matériaux nobles. Il n'y a pas de vis à vis, le secteur est très calme et rassurant. Le WIFI gratuit est par ailleurs très utile. Au pied de l'ETNA, c'est un endroit idéal pour découvrir ce volcan et rayonner sur CATANE, MESSINE et TAORMINA. Les propriétaires sont attentionnés, le fait qu'ils parlent français et connaissent les bons plans est un vrai plus ! Merci encore pour les croissants et les biscuits aux abricots ;-)
