Villa Rubino

From the minute we arrived we could not have been so well looked after. The family are delightful.Massimo, the son , spoke a little English and took me to buy food the 1st day.Mama made a delicious cake! The home is an absolute retreat,the gardens oozing old times,history, the pool,so cooling. The annex where we stayed ,old,rustic,comfy.clean(yes a bit tired,but hey ho ) and perfect for a week if R n R. It has air con,washing machine,dishwasher washer,but I felt I was in a time warp. Absolutely recommend this beautiful home.It is on the edge of Catania, so an hourly bus(2e) takes you in to town.( we used taxis 25e). I would be happy just staying in the gardens all day ,every day. I will be back , to do Absolutely nothing but relax and recover! Thank you family .

Mossies! Bring spray!

Villa Rubino in Catania Sicily which is available to rent , is unique. The gardens are beautiful with quirky little areas to explore , several seating areas to catch the sun and a crystal blue pool . The bbq area was great for relaxing lunches. Twinkly lighting just about everywhere is so atmospheric. Birds sing in the surrounding trees so peaceful and beautiful little pots explode with colour . The owner was charming and we had everything we needed for our stay. Highly recommended 👍🏼 #villarubino

Nothing !

Thanks You Massimo ! The house is amazing !!

Beautiful villa, wonderful friendly host, peaceful environment

We enjoyed our stay at Villa Rubino. Massimo was very welcoming. We were only there for 3 days. Wish we could have stayed longer. The pool was so big you can swim laps. There were 2 bedrooms, one was very big. The yard was very big, there was a beautiful large outdoor table.

The place is beautiful but has not been updated or maintained well. It didn't seem very clean. There are 3 air conditioners, one in each bedroom and one in the dining/living room, but you can't use all 3 at the same time, or the breaker will shut off automatically

This whole place and stay was fantastic!!! Everything we’d hoped for and more. The hosts were also so kind and welcoming…truly wonderful.

Massimo and his family was very helpful all the time. He was always available and ready to help. Very kind host. The apartment, the garden and the pool are very nice.

The whole building is very old and it needs definitely a renovation; windows, doors, water pipes, showers and wc especially. Note : even if you have your own apartment and privacy, you need to know that you are living next door (same wall) with the owners. Note : there are a lot of cats, and hairs of cats. Note : a lot of mosquitoes in the area.

Beautiful house, gardens and pool. Very helpful host who responded quickly if there were any queries.

The local buses to get into the town centre were a bit unreliable, but this isn’t to do with the property directly.

Spacious and vintage. Great swimming pool. Great hosts.

Seats and sitting areas in the grounds could have been cleaner.
