Isabella is what you want in a host when renting a property. Shegreeted at check in earlier than the check in time. She showed us how touse the appliances. And she brought us cookies from a local shop as well as drawing a map of areas to visit! We relaxed and enjoyed our stay!

Isabelle was a great host and the place looks even better in real life than the photos. Isabelle was ready to help whenever we needed. We even added an extra night to our stay because it was so good. There’s a great cafe 10 mins away. Cannot fault the cleanliness, location and service. Superhost!

Fantastic residence with an excellent standard of accommodation

A very comfortable, large, and clean property with a pretty garden. The kitchen is very well resourced with every you need. We were very happy to stay here, and it was a good base for the area. The host was very helpful and welcoming and communications were timely and informative.

Lovely villa, perfect location for exploring

Isabelle is the perfect host, villa is very clean and a perfect base for exploring Southern Sicily. Lovely garden and pool, very private. Not much in the village so a car is necessary. Had a wonderful time and wouldn't hesitate on recommending this property for anyone wishing to holiday in Sicily.

Clean & Organized house with a gated yard for a car

The house has a gated yard where you can park your car. Isabelle is responsive and she gave us a list of things that we can see and do on the east side of the island. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms organized and clean. The access to one of the bathrooms is from outside the house close to the pool. Most of the streets in that neighborhood are pretty narrow. It's close to Mt. Etna if you are planning to visit. Overall great experience with the host, totally recommend!

Wonderful property and host

The property is gorgeous! It has everything you need and the host, Isabelle, is available for help or advice if you need it. The garden is very private and the pool is wonderful to jump into on a hot day! One bit of advice I would give is definitely have a car for your stay. There is lots of places to eat and drink within 10 minutes drive of the property. There is an excellent pizzeria in the village and a cafe/restaurant that does fantastic pastries and arancini that you can walk to but a car is definitely a must. There is parking at the villa which is very handy The location is fantastic for access to Etna, Catania, Taormina, Gole Dell’Alcantara and Naxos as well as Zafferana Etnea, obviously! Thank you for having us Isabelle, we loved staying in your property and would highly recommend it to everyone!

A wonderful holiday

We had a great time at this beautiful villa. It has everything you could wish for for a relaxing stay. It is really spacious and well equipped with a great kitchen and lounge area. The air-conditioning is so quiet and efficient, unlike some places we have stayed in before. The garden and the pool are what attracted us to book it and quite honestly, the photos do not do it justice. Isabelle is the perfect host. Very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The welcome basket was much appreciated! As others have said, you need a car here as there is nothing within walking distance, but if you are aware of that, then it's not problem. It's well placed to visit some lovely places and Isabelle is only too happy to provide suggestions. Highly recommended! As In in before.

Nous avons adoré cette semaine dans la maison d Isabelle qui a à cœur d’accompagner ses hôtes dans la découverte de la Sicile.La maison était propre et offrait plus que prévu. Nos enfants ont notamment adoré l’appareil de musculation.Bref un séjour au calme et proche de tout.Mille mercis pour cette belle semaine sous le soleil sicilien.

Merveilleux !!

Belle maison, identique à l'annonce. Situation idéale pour visiter la côte est de la Sicile et à proximité immédiate de l'Etna (25mn en voiture). Isabelle nous a réservé un accueil chaleureux et attentionné, et guidé sur les spots à proximité immédiate. Nous reviendrons chez elle lors de notre prochain passage en Sicile !

Wunderschöner Urlaub

Der Aufenthalt in dem Ferienhaus war super! Leider kamen wir 1 Tag verspätet an wegen dem Feuer am Flughafen Catania. Isabella war sehr gastfreundlich und nett. Der Pool ist super! Das Haus und der Garten haben sämtliche Ausstattungen. Wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt. Das Haus liegt in einer ruhigen Wohngegend und alle wichtigen Ausflugsziele sind in maximal 30 Minuten mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Alles in allem hatten wir einen schönen Urlaub! Vielen Dank dafür!!

Sehr schöner Aufenthalt

Die Unterkunft war genauso wie beschrieben. Die Vermieterin wohnt gleich nebenan, aber sie ist sehr diskret und überaus freundlich. Der Pool war wirklich wunderbar und sehr sauber. Das Haus war ebenfalls sehr sauber, und es war alles vorhanden was man braucht. Der Garten ist liebevoll gepflegt. Wir waren zu zweit, und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Ohne Auto geht aber gar nichts.
