Gioiosa Marea: villor

We, a family with freinds, had a fantastic stay in the amazing Villa Lara in Tortorici, Sicily. The house is spacious, beautiful and esthetic and located in a calm place with a feeling of being part of the real Sicily. The pool and the jacuzzi helped during the hottest days and they both worked without any problems. We as a family like to plan our vacation on a daily basis which worked out well here. We did daily tours to Palermo, Catania, Taormina, Cefalù, Capo d’Orlando and other locations. We also like to combine cooking ourselves and eating out in restaurants equally. With both a great kitchen and the outdoor grill, combined with local and close-by restaurants, it was just perfect for us. The owner and his family were very welcoming and generous and eager to help with any questions or issues we had. We really recommend this place!

Well-equipped, spacious house with your own private swimming pool. We really enjoyed the location up in the hill away from it all (but still pizza and supermarket nearby). When going here from Palermo, use Walters directions and not Google maps (that will guide you to really, REALLY, narrow and steep roads). Altogether we can only recommend renting Walter's place for your vacation.
