Review for stay from 13 September 2026 to 19 September 2026

This farm was beautiful and peaceful in the mountains with sea view. We had a great stay, lots to do in easy driving distance we visited Taormina did a quad bike tour of Etna and visited the beautiful alcantara gorge (which is very close, a 5 minute drive). Communication was great and we felt welcomed, we enjoyed the company of the horses and the sweet little cat that visits too. The road to get to the place is pretty rough as already mentioned in previous reviews, but if you take it super slow you should be okay! The pool was a lovely place to cool off, if a little worn but we enjoyed it a lot and was bigger than we thought. If you go to the local restaurant (paradise) which is a 10 minutes walk, down the farm road, I would book in advance.

We loved our stay at Villa Idylicca, was an amazing house, very private and the hosts were very easy to communicate with and provided good recommendations. The horses are so nice to see throughout the day and we would definitely stay again.

A very nice place not far from Taormina but still very calm in the countryside, with no neighbours around. Giulia was very helpful in communications and Mimmo who was our contact there was very friendly. We had a great stay.

The prefect place for a relaxed and private holiday. Beautiful surroundings, cosy house with pool. Mimmo, the owner was a great host, or rather a friend; just one word and he would arrange everything in a minute. Go there if you need something special to take care of yourself and your loved ones:)

We had wonderful holidays in this beautiful house. It is absolutely quiet and has an amazing view over the countryside. We fell in love with Sicily and its people and we are thinking about coming back soon. Mimmo, to whom belongs the house, was incredibly friendly. We loved this place from the beginning.

Review for stay from 01 September 2020 to 07 September 2020

Giulia & Mimmo’s place is lovely and secluded, set into the hillside of the Alcantara valley. Blessed with plenty of space, a pool and two sweet horses, the property is a great place to chill for a week and only 20 mins from Taormina and 40 mins from the Etna hike. Bear in mind that the property requires a drive down a steep dirt track for access so a small, mobile car is recommended! Great stay!

Blissful!

The perfect place to totally chill and unwind, which was just what we needed. Lovely characterful farmhouse, fab location, close to Taormina, the most beautiful town ever! Loved the horses who came to greet us each morning and the cats who visited us. Mimmo was the perfect host, there when we needed, and even brought us vegan cookies, which was such a lovely gesture and much appreciated! We stayed for a week but would love to return and stay longer!

Beautiful beautiful house with sea and mountain views not far from Taormina and beaches. Very friendly and welcoming host Mimmo. Excellent mattresses. The road to the cottage is easy to do, also with a normal car. The pool is on the small side but that is no objection for us. Highly recommended, and really value for money.

A private, secluded charming property amidst the beautiful countryside of Sicily. With views of the mountains, the sea and the Alcantara valley in a working countryside setting. The house has been carefully renovated providing spacious and comfortable living with an abundance of outdoor space making it ideal for larger and extended families and groups of friends. We will return.

The villa was everything we had hoped for. An authentic home in a stunning location. A place we could relax and reconnect with our family and enjoy the beauty, warmth and good food that Sicily has to offer. Mimmo was on hand to solve any minor issues very quickly and his beautiful horses kept us company throughout the day! We fell in love with the rustic charm and truly enjoyed every minute we spent there. Thank you

Fluid and pleasant communication with Giulia and Victor who manage Mimmo's house, who welcomed us warmly and offered us a bottle of wine:) The house is authentic, the fabulous decor between the sea and the mountains, the view from the splendid pool. The presence of horses is a nice little pleasure for animal lovers like us. I would recommend this place that will allow you to discover Sicily off the beaten path!

amazing rural idyll

really spectacular location, lovely old farmhouse, very peaceful. I would thorougly recommend it but ...the electrical system can't cope with more than a couple of air con units at a time so you have to take it in turns! And it's a very narrow very bumpy track from the main road

Response from VrboOwner on 12 Aug, 2022
Thank you for your feedback Tony. We happy to hear you have enjoyed your stay but sorry to hear you had problems with the electricity. It is important that guests use the airco's in a responsible way and don't leave them on all together while leaving the house for example. The keyholder has explained this to you at your arrival and has been very helpful to the matter.

We had a wonderful family stay at this beautiful house and great location. The house and grounds (pool, garden, horses…) are very peaceful and comfortable. Only thing to note is that the house need some minor updates especially in bathroom. Other than that - PERFECT! Would love to come back again. Mimo, who takes care of the property was very kind and helpful (even with little to no English…)

A lovely rustic farmhouse in the countryside. Peaceful quiet and relaxing. The access road is uneven but this is the countryside. Mimmo was amazing We had a problem with our car and he spent his Sunday locating the part required and getting a local garage to open and repair for us . What a gentleman
