Villa with a view!
Our favourite thing about this property is the view! to see Mount Etna and the sea from your swimming pool, garden, living room and one of the bedrooms is wonderful and really relaxing to listen to the birds and the sea. The villa can at first sight look small in some ways and at the same time it feels roomy and doesn't feel cramped. The area is away from mass tourism and so you get to experience real life in Sicily, so not everyone will speak English, but with a few words of Italian and some sign language you get by. Guiditta is a great host and we knew she was a WhatsApp message away and the villa has everything you need for your stay. Sciliy hasn't fully signed up to mass tourism so this is a big plus in some ways, especially for us and possibly a downside for some people. If you like local, rustic and far from the crowds this is a good place to be. The pool is a good size, it has no shallow end and is about 6ft deep. The villa is in a gated complex of other holiday villas, many of which were not occupied, so it was very quiet. This villa in a terrace of 4 or 5 single floor villas with the best views and is at the end of the terrace. You have to drive to restaurants or bars in nearby Brucoli which in a pretty bay. You also get to see sunrise and sunset.
