Heavenly stay
The gracious, old fashioned house sits in really beautiful mature gardens of over three acres. It is very traditionally Sicilian, and evocative of Montalbano. Rosaria, the maid, and Maria, the owner, organised four absolutely delicious meals for us during our two week stay - the sort of typical Sicilian home cooking one does not find in restaurants. We all absolutely loved our stay, and felt very fortunate to be in a place where we could pretend to be Sicilians for a short time. A very short drive away there is a small, but good, supermarket, a very good pasticcheria, and a good fruit & veg shop. As it is fairly near the motorway, one can get to quite distant places within one and a half to two hours to see baroque architecture or ruins. Or just lie by the pool.......

Charming house
Charming house, with a beautiful garden and great pool. We stayed two families in the big house and it went very well. The garden is giant. More like a small park. The children were playing in the garden every day, but they mostly bathed in the pool which was great as a hotel pool. The house is like a small manor house with large rooms and high ceilings. We felt a bit like kings and queens :) Everything was very charming - but some bathroom and the kitchen were a little old-fashioned. But overall we loved the house!

beautiful villa and gardens
house is as lovely as it looks, old but full of character and really good sized rooms and 4 bathrooms. Gardens are lucious and the pool large, clean and refreshing. Rosaria is great and discrete as housemade but its a steep charge for something you may not really need. nothing in the scruffy surounding area that you can walk to which is disappointing. we had quite a few day trips, savoca is worth it and a lovely place to swim at santa maria la scala

This villa is quite cheap for a reason. It would have been very beautiful, in the 1960's.
The villa is dated and so not very comfortable. Also beware!! She will charge you for the cleaner and the air conditioning!! So I got a third back out of my quite large deposit, quite annoying. Also the big BBQ doesn't exist, it was destroyed by the wind apparently.....the coast here is rocky and crowded and there are not really any water sports to speak of. The cleaner is lovely and very helpful but at that price she needs to be!!

About the host

Hosted by Francesco

Host profile image
In the villa “Il giardino di Isabella” that belongs to my family from generations I've been living with my wife and three children for many years. In 1990 our sons went out from Sicily for specialization studies, and I embarked on a new activity in northern Italy, in the tourist sector. Ten years after I decided to come back and keep on my work at home. I love Sicily and I hope that many people discover its glamour, staying in my house.

What makes this property unique

The villa is sited in the middle of the east coast of the Sicily, it is a strategic point from where you can visit many interesting sites. First of all Etna volcano with possibility of guided excursions to the crater. Trekking, mountain bike tours, walking in the park of Etna, wine tasting. Taormina, the Greek theatre and the season of “Arte Festival “. Piazza Armerina and the Roman “Villa del Casale”. If you prefer a relaxing holiday with your family or friends, the peaceful of the park, the swimming pool, between the sea and the volcano, is an ideal resort for your comfort with the opportunity, on request, to enjoy at the villa, an health programme (beauty treatments, massages), typical Sicilian dinners, cooking lessons, yoga and pilates courses.
