One week close to the Etna

Nice and well maintained property which is appreciated as the surroundings are not very nice. We appreciated the swimming pool as it was very hot during our stay and the sea is quite a distance even by car. We enjoyed the trip to the Etna.

Une escapade idyllique

En famille, nous avons passé un délicieux séjour d’une semaine en Sicile. Nous avons adoré cette maison de rêve. Décorée avec soin, chaleureuse et dotée de tout le nécessaire pour passer d’excellentes vacances, elle est encore plus belle en vraie qu’en photo. Les modalités d’arrivée et de sortie sont simples et sans prise de tête. La communication avec l’hôtesse est claire et sympathique. Le jardin est très agréable, disposant de nombreux endroits pour passer du temps en famille, prendre les repas et se reposer. La piscine devient carrément féérique la nuit avec son éclairage automatique. L'emplacement de l'hébergement est parfait pour les excursions. Nichée dans la campagne, au terme d'un réseau de petites ruelles sinueuses, la villa offre une atmosphère paisible. Avoir une voiture est essentiel pour se déplacer dans la région. En conclusion, aucune fausse note pour ce séjour idyllique. Je recommande +++ We had a delicious week-long stay in Sicily. We loved this dream house, even more beautiful in real life than in photos. Arrival and departure procedures are simple. Communication with the hostess is clear and friendly. The garden is very pleasant, with many places to spend time with family, have meals and rest. The swimming pool becomes downright magical at night. The accommodation is perfect for excursions. Nestled in the countryside, the villa offers a peaceful atmosphere. Having a car is essential for getting around the region. Overall, an idyllic stay I recommend +++

Kleine Villa sehr konfortabel mit eine Diastöse Straße

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt Die Villa ist schön, sauber und hat alles was man braucht. Wir haben sehr den Pool genossen Die Strasse ist in eine katastrophalen zustand, man vergisst das aber sobald man im Haus ist und ein Glas Wein auf der Terasse genießt. Die Vermieterin ist sehr freundlich, wir kommen gerne wieder😊😊

Great spot on the slopes of Etna

Très jolie maison sur les pentes de l'Etna. Le cadre est magnifique, authentique dans la campagne sicilienne. Centre hippique et et super trattoria à proximité. La maison est impeccable, tout confort. Joli jardin et jolie vue sur l'Etna Maria et Adrianna (les propriétaires) nous ont très bien accueillis et ont été d'un grand service : nos baggages ont malheureusement été perdus pendant le vol, et finalement renvoyés à la maison en notre absence et sans que nous ayons été prévenus. Elles ont tout parfaitement géré. 2 remarques à savoir : - le chemin d'accès immédiat à la maison (sur quelques centaines de mètres) est un petit peu difficile (bon c'est la campagne :-)) - les photos de l'annonce ne valorisent pas complètement le lieu. Contrairement à d'habitude, la réalité est ici supérieure à ce que montre les photos. Vous l'avez compris, je recommande chaudement ! ------------ Very nice house on the slopes of Etna. The surroundings are magnificent and authentic in the Sicilian countryside. Horse riding center and super trattoria nearby. The house is immaculate, comfortable. Nice garden and nice view on Etna. Maria and Adrianna (the owners) welcomed us very well and did us great service: our luggage was unfortunately lost during the flight, and finally sent home in our absence and without having been informed. Maria and her family handled everything perfectly. 2 remarks: - the immediate access road to the house (a few hundred meters) is a little difficult (well i

Stupenda!!!!!

Dreamhouse.. Di nome e di fatto! È stato difficile lasciare questa meravigliosa dimora, sia per noi sia per i bambini!! Ci torneremo sicuramente, anche se non so se saremo di nuovo così fortunati da vedere dal giardino di casa eruzione dell'Etna + pioggia di lapilli!! Posizione comoda x gita su Etna, giornata a Taormina e a Catania e dintorni! Straconsigliata!!!!
