Villa Capriccio

Beautiful property, right by the beach with full amenities in a gated community

Nothing

Big spacious rooms and balcony.Everything was fine with the house,2 min walk distance from a sandy beach.

You definitely need a car for your stay because there is no restaurant or supermarket on a walking distance. The area around the house is not very clean and the whole Catania region is the same.

- a lot of space

- the area is freaking scary and the access is only through a gate which is inconvenient for check in/out - very cold during winter times, heater only in the bedroom - a lot of insects in the kitchen

Wonderful apartment. A family could live there for extended period of time. Super clean, stylish and comfortable. The wrap around balcony is amazing. The host had thought of any item that any guest of any age might need and had provided them. I had a hard time finding the place, indeed going an hour in a circle using my GPS, ending at a huge iron gate. Calling the owners, in no time, a young energetic mobiles in their hand, armed with Google Translate pulled next to my car and took care of it. This metal gate opens not to community, but indeed to a section of the town, something I have never seen in my life. So when you get to the gate, you need to call them and they will open it for you.

There is very little that you could do, eat, shop..... in nearby

The place was great. Very clean and spacious. We only stayed one night as we were catching a flight on the next day. The facilities and furniture were all of a very good standard, and the area was peaceful. It is right next to a beach which seemed favoured by locals and made no attempt to cater for tourists. There was a good supermarket a few km up the road, with eating places a bit further away.

The villa itself was excellent. We found the road to the place to be typical of many smaller roads in Sicily, it was strewn with rubbish. Could not see or smell it from the property. And the beach buildings and some of the local area was a bit tired. Again not the villa's fault and you simply walked past them to get to the beach.

The flat is located perfectly and it's huge! Alessandra (the host) was super friendly and helpful. They left uns some snacks at the house, als well as wine and necessities. Also, when I forgot my headphones in the apartment, Alessandra and her family brought them directly to the new location by car! It was unbelievably nice! We had a wonderful time and fell in love with the terrace with this gorgeous view!

Accomodating owners. Clean and well-kept home
