Big house - great outdoor space

We spent a week here in October and really lucked out with the weather. The inside of the house is definitely dated and could do with updating, particularly the bathrooms, but we spent the majority of our time outside by the pool which was perfect! Being able to walk down and get into the sea was a real bonus too. The property manager was very helpful. The house is incredibly difficult to find and took us quite a while with the property managers help. The house has no name written on it, there are no road names and Google maps doesn’t take you to the correct place. Could probably benefit with the hosts sharing more detailed directions from Catania before hand. We had a lovely stay in Sicily over all and the house suited us perfectly and was well located.

We had a great family holiday youngest 5 oldest 80 ! Views stunning we all loved it .

The house is in a gated community off the main road and only 40mins from Catania airport . Top tip get there on the S114 turn right out of Airport , much quieter road then getting on the motor way if you are a bit nervous driving on the other side of the road if coming from the UK. Luigi and Francesca were there to meet us and not far away if you need anything and very helpful . The house is light and spacious and very homley and clean . You will find umbrellas for the pool inside the house by the big fire if not already up and plenty of sun loungers chairs ect. Outside is stunning with great views of the sea and Etna, beautiful big pool, palm trees , BBQ area, we lived outside . You need your gate key to access the sea that is a 2 min walk from the villa . There is a old stone jetty you can dive off and a few days in some steel steps arrived that made it easier to get in the sea . Take diving shoes if you are a swimmer . Sea clear as crystal beautiful, you do need to be abel to swim here as there are no paddling areas. You can swim over to the small beach . For us it was perfect as we love swimming and also very quite . The 5 year old and 80 year Old both swum here . In fact we only visited the local beach once where there was a great beach bar/restaurant where we chose our fish for lunch . We shopped at the local supper market in Lentini has everything . We cooked every night . A great place for a family holiday very quite , pool sea sky and stars magic . Thank you

Beautiful huge villa with amazing views

We're a group of 5 ladies in our 40's and 50's and spent a thoroughly enjoyable 5 nights at Villa Stella in September 2017. The villa is huge and beautiful, but in need of some tlc and we found the family photos all over the house a bit off putting. The views are to die for and the pool fantastic. We enjoyed swimming in the sea just a minutes walk from the villa. Nando and Giovanni could not do enough for us. There is nothing within walking distance so a car is essential.

Very scruffy but you can't beat the view

If you want 5 star luxury don't come here. This villa needs a total refurbishment from the bathrooms, bedrooms and kitchen to the outside that needs painting, I don't think it has seen any new paint since 1974! Apart from this the outside spaces and view are unbeatable, and the villa although scruffy does have a rustic charm. The housekeeper's cooked us a meal on the first night which was very good and lots of it although everyone said the food could have been hotter and it was a little rushed but they were nice people. There could have been a welcome pack I. e. milk etc and there was no information on local eateries, things to do etc. All in all a good time but if the weather had been bad I wouldn't fancy stoping in here.

Incredible location - very comfortable villa for large group

Villa Stella is a truly amazing place - a few steps down to the very clean sea - a pool to relax around with plenty of shade and sun loungers. Views of Etna on a clear day plus sun rise and sunsets make this a magical location. The owner was very helpful and accommodating with local recommendations and quick to respond when we had some minor power-outs. The practical stuff might be of help to some people: kitchen is quite small but there is an outside kitchen too with gas burners and a sort of BBQ grill which is quite tough to use even for the most hardened barbq-er. If you are a chef, take your own knives! Loads of space in general - even with 8 of us (inc 4 teenagers) we were all very comfortable. There is a/c in every bedroom which isn't advertised but very welcome. The villa would have got 5 stars but for the fact that it feels a little unloved - needs painting, needs a few loo seats, grass cutting, trees maintaining. But don't let this put you off - it is a fabulous place to spend some special Sicily time.
