Nous avons adoré !!!
Nous sommes restés 3 semaines dans cette maison. 3 semaines de détente au calme en profitant d'une vue magnifique sur les iles Eoliennes. La maison est parfaitement adaptée pour une famille de 5 personnes telle que la nôtre. Rien à redire, tout correspondant amplement à nos attentes. La région n'accueille pas un tourisme de masse, les petits commerçants locaux sont charmants et bienveillants. Bref nous avons adorés nos vacances partagées entre le repos, la découverte de la région, les ballades, la mer et les îles. Nous recommandons vivement cette maison et cette région encore préservée.

Rustic, charming and our FOURTH stay!
Early Spring in north east Sicily, overlooking the Aeolian Islands, again - 4th visit ! We stayed in the pink house half way up the hill. It was just perfect. The property was clean and well maintained, now with Wi Fi. Well stocked kitchen, with utensils etc. Lovely covered eating area outside and brick barbeque. We ate outside all the time. All very rustic. Beaches 5/7 mins drive away. Villefranche has great local produce, again only 3/5 mins by car. Francesco, the owner, was really good at pointing us in the direction of the local baker, greengrocer and butcher - so we ate one meal at least per day on the terrace of the Pink house with the fabulous views. The villa has a basketball court too. All such fun - we're booked again for next year and taking friends too.

Peaceful country house
A cosy country house with a spectacular sea view. Suitable for families or group of friends. If you like relaxation then this house is ideal, you will be immersed in a most peaceful countryside. A 5 minute drive away and you have the beatiful sandy beach of Villafranca. The vills is well equipped with air conditioning and free WiFi connection. The garden is a perfect spot to see the sunset, so at the end of the day you can relax and enjoy the sun setting. The town and beaches are nearby, but you do need a car to stay here.

Villa needs updating
The house is in a nice location with lovely views to the sea. The villa itself is in need of modernisation. It has a neglected feel to it; furniture and applinaces are all quite old and some areas of the house could be cleaner. There is only Italian TV, no Satellite or DVD player. Wifi is available and works most of the time. The house makes a good base for exploring the area; some attractions are quite a drive away - the best beach is San Gregorio (40 min), Mt Etna (just under 2 hrs), Taormina (about 1 hr). The local village beach is also good and there are some nice restaurants. The owner is very helpful.
