Wonderful stay in Milo

My family and friends had a perfect week in this superb house. If you're looking for a place out of time, with splendid early 20th-century Italian architecture in a huge estate planted with chestnut and other fruit trees, this is the house for you. It's a great place to live. We were there during a heatwave, and enjoyed the coolness in the evenings (and the pool during the day). And our host was absolutely adorable, responding immediately and in great detail to all our questions and requests about the area. Just perfect!

fantastic

We had a wonderful time at this place. The nice house, big garden with black berries, hazelnut trees and of course the big pool. The house and garden were so nice that we did not want to leave to visit nearby historic sites. After a hectic and hot day in eg Catania it was very relaxing to come back to the house. Due to its altitude it was always a little bit cooler than at the seaside. We would love to come back again.

Beautiful Villa, high recommend

We enjoyed our stay at the Villa, amazing views and so peaceful. There is something for everyone, my girls played in the gigantic pool and played a few games of ping pong while I read a book in a hammock under the trees! The villa itself is spacious and spotless! The rooms are large with comfy beds and authentic with beautiful Sicilian tiles and furniture. You do need to hire a car to explore the area such as Mt Etna, Taormina and Syracuse. Cristina, the owner was always at hand to answer any queries. I would highly recommend this villa and we look forward to coming back again!

A perfect family holiday property

Our host Cristina was very friendly, welcoming and provided us with everything we needed. The house was perfect for our family with one end of the house for 2 adults and the children whilst the grandparents had the other end with plenty of space for all of us. There was a beautiful shaded area under the trees with table and chairs along with hammocks and this provided a perfect area to escape the midday heat. The property is very well located to two towns, Milo and Zaffarana with many restaurants and supermakets to choose from. I would certainly recommend this property to my friends. Thank you Cristina for a wonderful stay. Toni

Séjour réussi dans une villa parfaite

Nous avons passé une semaine dans cette villa. La villa est très grande et parfaite pour y passer des vacances. La villa est très bien équipée ; Aussi bien sur le plan divertissement (piscine, ping pong) que sur le plan pratique (barbecue, grandes tables et lave vaisselle). Elle dispose également d’un atout géographique; Adossée à l’Etna (30 minutes de voiture), nous avons eu la chance de pouvoir observer une mini éruption. De l’autre côté, la maison offre une vue spectaculaire sur la côte. La propriétaire nous a accueilli de façon très chaleureuse et s’est montrée disponible tout au long de la semaine. Je recommande Vivement la villa Milo !

Calme, grand air et vue magnifique

Maison idéale pour un séjour en famille. Nous avons passé une magnifique semaine dans cette maison de caractère avec un vrai vécu (ancienne exploitation viticole). La maison est idéalement située pour faire des randonnées sur le flanc Est de L'Etna et également accéder facilement aux sites plus touristiques : taormine, catane, acireale. Cristina est au petits soins pour ses hôtes. Dès que nous avons eu besoin d'un petit service, elle a su répondre présente. La maison est très bien équipée pour des enfants en bas âge. Nous sommes revenu enchanté de notre séjour dans cette belle demeure.

6/10 Okay

Beautiful property, but somewhat lacking.......

Beautiful house, inside and out, including a fascinating original kitchen, beautiful garden and surroundings, but.... ...seriously lacking in the basic home comforts expected for this price. Arriving in the evening, and delayed an hour at the car rental desk, we arrived in the village in the dark. It turned out we'd been given two wrong phone numbers so it's lucky we had email facility or we actually may not have ever found it, let alone been met with the keys! No welcome pack of any sort, not a morsel of bread and cheese or cheap bottle of wine as so often is left to welcome you in a self-catering property. Thankfully we had bought a slice of pizza at the airport so it was cold pizza and tap water for dinner the first night. Beautiful beds but made of metal so they clanged every time you turned over...and mattresses like concrete! A firm mattress is one thing but this was something else entirely. We so needed sleep but some nights just searched for a comfortable place to lay, even curling up on the sofa. Sadly no warm blankets to help with that, just cotton throws. The blankets may have been locked up in one of the many locked units of furniture. The ill-equipped 'modern' kitchen lacked a kettle, long glasses for long cool drinks, day-to-day kitchen knives for cutting up salad stuff etc (there was just a break knife). Was this all locked away too?! Goodness knows how a couple of families would cope there. Temperamental gas hob and temperamental hot water for washing up (remember, no kettle to help and no dishwasher either) and who wants to struggle with washing up when on holiday? We had asked for wifi but this had to be brought along later, along with a couple of kitchen knives. The temperamental hot water meant it sometimes took an hour to run a vaguely warm bath, which we then topped up with pans of water boiled on the stove and carried down the corridor. One shower unit had such flimsy doors that leaked that we abandoned it and used the other. One toilet cistern wouldn't stop filling so ditto with that. No house information folder with useful information and instructions. But there were several bins with instructions about daily recycling and rubbish (hence there was the sad sight of rubbish at the side of all the roads every day of the week). The family tried to be helpful each time we contacted them, but we shouldn't have had to contact them daily! A tad disappointing for a fairly expensive property.

Herrschaftlich

Das Ferienhaus war großartig: Insgesamt ist es zwar sicherlich nicht jedermanns Sache, in einem solchermaßen rustikalen Anwesen zu residieren, aber unsere Reisgruppe genoss die Ruhe, die Natur, die Sonnenaufgänge und die Offenheit rund um die Villa ungemein. Die Vermieterin Cristina kümmerte sich zudem herzlich um uns. Wenn sich die Möglichkeit bietet, kehren wir sicher zurück nach Milo und hoffen, das Wetter zeigt sich etwas freundlicher.

phantastisches Ambiente

Die Villa aus dem beginnenden 20. Jahrhundert in einem parkähnlichen Garten mit kleiner, zugehöriger Haselnussplantage wird von den Besitzern mit viel Geschmack original erhalten. Wir mochten die bemalten Bodenfliesen, das originale Mobiliar und die hohen Decken, die ein angenehmes Raumklima schaffen. Die knarrenden Betten sind gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber o.k. Der Blick über die Ebene bis zum Meer ist phantastisch. Die Höhenlage (800 M) bedingt ein angenehmes Klima. Es weht meistens ein sanfter Wind und sobald die Sonne untergegangen ist, wird es angenehm kühl. Die Meereswinde bringen häufiger auch Wolken, die sich am 3000 M hohen Ätna abregnen, so dass diese Region Siziliens ausgesprochen grün ist. Durch den Ätna sind auch die Böden sehr fruchtbar. Hier wächst ein guter, hochwertiger Wein. Wir haben den Pool genossen. Entspannen und Lesen oder Tischtennis Spielen unter den alten, hohen Bäumen. Aperitiv an den Sitzbänken am Brunnen. Abendessen auf der Terrasse. Ein kleiner Verbesserungsvorschlag: Die Gartenliegen aus Plastik sind nicht sehr bequem und passen auch optisch - wie wir finden - nicht so gut zum Ganzen. Die Besitzer sind ausgesprochen sympatisch und die Kommunikation ist in mehreren Sprachen (I, E, D, F, ??) möglich. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Absolut empfehlenswert! Grazie e arrivederci!

Affascinante Sicilia

Una casa veramente affascinante, ristrutturata conservando lo stile originario. Eravamo in nove, tre famiglie ognuna con un figlio. L 'ampiezza dell'abitazione ci ha consentito di avere comunque la nostra privacy ed è stato piacevole e comodo sostare per poter riposare e cucinare. I tavoli disposti intorno alla casa consentono di mangiare sempre al fresco. Il giardino, il frutteto e il panorama sono meravigliosi, la piscina pulita con cura. La vicina Zafferana Etnea ci ha consentito di gustare gli ottimi prodotti locali. Taormina, Catania, Acireale e l'Etna a soli trenta minuti, e dopo le escursioni era molto piacevole ritornare nella frescura della casa e del giardino. Signorilità e disponibilità sono i tratti distintivi dei proprietari.

paradise

We had a very good stay and recommend the house to anyone who loves a beautiful garden to relax in and a clean and quit place to stay. We appreciated the hospitality of Christina and her family very much. We stayed in the house with two families, but had enough privacy. Our children (2, 6, 7 and 8 years old) enjoyed the garden and the swimming pool very much. The house is complete, apart from the kitchen gear. We missed some pots and pans to cook in and a dishwasher. Nevertheless we enjoyed the bbq-unit and used it often. We loved the surroundings and the view of the Etna. Due to the height it is has a very pleasant climate (the nights are cool). We love to come back here sometime! Best regards, Koen, Britt, Kathelijne & Jan from Holland

Fantastic place and really nice owners

We had such a nice holiday at this place in July 2015. The Morabitos (the owners) were so nice, flexible and helpful. We were very surprised that the house and garden looked even nicer than in the pictures. It was very clean and the owners came during the week early in the morning to clean the pool and make sure that everything was okay. Also the big garden, vineyard and terrace was clean to perfection. Since we were there with a small child, Mrs. Morabito had found a lot of toys, books, baby blankets and other baby stuff for us. This was also perfectly clean and we were very thankful for this thought. The small town of Milo is totally authentic and we met no other tourists there. The Sicilians are so nice and helpful and they love children. The views are amazing and the soil is black from the ashes of Etna. We absolutely loved the place and wanted to stay longer - one week was not enough. Off course a car rental is necessary to take trips around the island. It's easy to find your way around the south coast. Me and my family (we stayed 6 people + a small child at the place) would absolutely recommend this place and it's owners to other families/friends who want to experience the real Sicily with the slow and cosy everyday-life and away from the all the fuss of the tourist places.
