Guest Reviews
- Maria (9/5): Little Oasis next to Taormina - Un pequeño oasis de calma, naturaleza al lado de Taormina
Nuestra habitación daba a la piscina y teníamos mucha privacidad.
El personal muy amable
- Chris (10/5): I wasnNot long enough! - A proper hidden gem. The property is magnificent. Wonderful gardens, orchards and pool. Fantastic base for exploring the area
- Karolina (10/5): - Everything was perfect
- Tianyue (10/5): Perfect! - This is a large estate, very peaceful and free. The swimming pool is big, and you can swim at any time. There are also outdoor sofas where you can sunbathe and read books.
There is a free outdoor breakfast, and every morning they make fresh and delicious breakfast for us. Especially the pistachio-flavored pancake, I ate it for two consecutive days. It was freshly made and extremely delicious!
The host is very warm-hearted. They picked us up at the train station on the night we checked in. When we were about to leave, they also helped arrange a car to take us to the airport.
The host is a very warm-hearted and beautiful lady. She always considers us. Everyone in their family is kind and warm-hearted. And it was a wonderful accommodation experience! nothing
- Bram (9/5): -
- Nigel (10/5): Excellent location and very friendly - Stunning location and wonderful rooms Nothing
- Louise (10/5): - La Villa is like an oasis. Utterly enchanting! So serene and calm. Lovely staff. Would highly recommend. Nothing about the place at all!!
- David (10/5): A hidden gem - This place is amazing. It is a little tricky to find as it is hidden away, but wow what a beautiful place and the most amazing pool too (set into ancient volcanic rock), which is shared with other apartments. Our apartment had three rooms and a bathroom, as well as two lots of veranda seating. Really big comfortable bed in the main room. Breakfast (vegetarian and all local produce) is served down at the pool side, where there are also shared kitchen facilities, toilets and an outdoor shower. There is a supermarket nearby if required. And lots of restaurants and nightlife in the local towns. We loved this place so much and will definitely come back if we return to Sicily. Only regret was booking just two nights .
- Joost (10/5): - Super ontbijt!
- franck (9/5): - Le cadre est idyllique, le personel très sympathique. Nous souhaitions du calme et ça a été le cas. Cadre reposant, piscine et tranquillité. A refaire lors de notre prochaine venue !
- Maria (10/5): Un verde angolo di paradiso a Giardini Naxos - Abbiamo soggiornato in questo B&B per 1 giorno e non potevamo chiedere di meglio. Immerso nel verde, il posto è perfetto per chi cerca tranquillità e relax lontano dal caos, ma comunque a pochi minuti dal mare e dal centro.
La piscina è meravigliosa, circondata da piante e fiori, ideale per rilassarsi dopo una giornata di escursioni o semplicemente per godersi il sole in totale serenità.
La colazione è stata una delle cose che abbiamo apprezzato di più: varia, abbondante e con prodotti freschi e locali, servita in un'atmosfera rilassante con vista sul giardino.
Un grande grazie va anche allo staff, sempre sorridente, disponibile e pronto a dare consigli su cosa vedere nei dintorni. Ci siamo sentiti davvero accolti e coccolati.
Un'esperienza che consigliamo vivamente a chi viaggia in coppia e cerca un soggiorno romantico, rilassante e autentico. Torneremo sicuramente!
- Greetje (10/5): Geweldig - Wat hebben we genoten hier !! Alles top goed verzorgd en schoon. Zeer ruime kamers . Zwembad geweldig heerlijk rustig. Wij komen hier graag nog keer terug !
- Johan (10/5): -
- Frank (9/5): heerlijk paradijsje ! - ruim appartement met 3 slaapruimtes.
2 prive-terrassen
prachtige volwassen tuin, zwembad, ontbijtruimte.
een verscholen paradijs in Giardini Naxos net iets te ver om te lopen naar het strand/restaurants.
- Marco (10/5): Absolutely Wonderful Stay! - Our experience at **La Vila B\&B** was nothing short of perfect. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality that made us feel instantly at home. The rooms are spotless, beautifully decorated, and extremely comfortable, with every detail thoughtfully arranged for guests’ comfort.
What truly sets La Vila apart is the kindness and attentiveness of the hosts. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, from great restaurant recommendations to tips for exploring Giardini Naxos and Taormina.
We left with wonderful memories and can’t wait to return. If you’re visiting Sicily, **La Vila B\&B is an absolute gem** — warm, charming, and unforgettable!
- Stephanie (10/5): Wij willen hier zeker nog een keer terug komen en raden het iedereen aan. - De ontvangst en gastvrijheid waren heel fijn. Het zwembad en ontbijt waren heerlijk. Een fijne en ruime kamer op een mooi stuk land. Een avond na het zwemmen kregen we geen water uit de kraan, later op de avond was alles weer in orde.
- Gordon (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gábor (10/5): Exceptional - A little oasis in Sicily, feels like you are in the middle of a nature sanctuary.
- Nevena (10/5): Home away from home - B&B La Villa is truly a hidden gem—an oasis of tranquility nestled in the heart of a bustling area, yet so close to the charm of Taormina. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed into what quickly became our home away from home.
The property itself is stunning, with beautifully maintained grounds that make it feel like a little paradise. Horses and other animals roam freely, adding to the serene and magical atmosphere. Our room, located near the swimming pool, was lovely—comfortable, tastefully decorated, and the perfect retreat after a day of exploring.
Breakfast was nothing short of amazing, a delicious start to each morning with fresh ingredients that reflected the warmth of Sicilian hospitality. Viktoria took great care of us, ensuring everything was just right, while Paula was incredible—her recommendations for places to visit were spot-on, and she went above and beyond to arrange reservations when needed.
One of the highlights of our stay was coming back in the afternoon after a busy day sightseeing, relaxing by the pool, and making a drink in the kitchen with fresh lemons from the garden. These little touches made the experience truly special.
Getting to the property was an adventure in itself! Google Maps didn’t send us to the correct address at first, which made the initial approach a bit tricky. But once we got used to the route, it was absolutely worth it—it just adds to the charm of discovering this hidden paradise.
B&B La Villa offers the perfect blend of comfort, hospitality, and beauty—highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable stay in Sicily
- Karen (10/5): - Vi har hatt et fantastisk opphold på La Villa. Vertskaer så serviceminded og gode. Frokosten er enestående. Omgivelsene er bare helt vakre. Sengene er super, vi har sovet så godt. Vil tilbake hit - et unikt sted.
- Audrey (10/5): Lovely stay - Lovely and peaceful surroundings which exceeded our expectations. Breakfast was excellent and Paola the host was very welcoming and made sure we were comfortable during our stay. The villa is set amongst lush greenery and the setting is stunning. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend a few relaxing days.
- Rossana Ivonne (10/5): - Most beautiful resort Italy surrounded by beautiful gardens and lemons trees . Breakfast was delicious served in an incredible terrace So much variety of food !!You feel so much peace and quiet that you want to satay for ever.
I highly recommend this beautiful Villa
- Jens (7/5): Good - Pool area. To Dark after sunset. No lights along parkering area and paths. No lights in pool at night. Bed were bad. Smell of sewer from the bathroom.
- Diana (10/5): A beautiful property which is definitely worth visiting. - Our stay was wonderful. Paola was an excellent hostess who made sure all our needs were met. Gideon and Victoria were great at making us feel comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. We highly recommend this B&B We liked everything.
- Angelica (10/5): Exceptional -
- Justyna (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lene (10/5): Fantastisk plass - Beste plassen jeg noengang har bodd på…. Så rolig og fredelig og dyr som går løse rundt. Veldig rent og en service som er vanskelig å toppe, super hyggelige ansatte. God frokost og ikke minst flott utsikt mot Etna.
- Lene (10/5): Fantastisk plass - Beste plassen jeg noengang har bodd på…. Så rolig og fredelig og dyr som går løse rundt. Veldig rent og en service som er vanskelig å toppe, super hyggelige ansatte. God frokost og ikke minst flott utsikt mot Etna.
- Nikolaus (9/5): Superb - The whole property is incredibly green and filled with animals like cats and dogs and even horses that just roam around freely. The common area is beautiful, an outdoor kitchen provides you the opportunity to cook. Paola and her husband serve an amazingly delicious breakfast, they are super helpful and sympathetic, the whole stay really felt like being in a small family. Nothing.
- Kasia (10/5): - La Villa was one of the best holiday experiences we have ever had. The rooms and grounds are absolutely gorgeous. It is easily accessed from a main road and access to the supermarket (10 mins walk) but it feels very private and exclusive.
We stayed in the ground floor pool view room which was well equipped and neatly furnished.
The highlights of La Villa were the wildlife, gardens and large pool. The breakfast provided by Victoria was delicious and the service was 10/10. Savoury and sweet crepes and flatbreads, cakes and baked, fresh juices and fruits, delicious scrambled eggs and bruschettas.
Paola and Giddy made us feel very much at home, nothing was any hassle for them and they were attentive yet also wanting to give us peace and space which is a hard combination to get right - but they absolutely nailed it.
The cooking facilities are more than enough for a few families or couples who may be staying at La Villa at the same time. There is ample room in the fridge for daily groceries and the kitchen is well equipped with all the basic utensils and kitchen wares you need.
Giddy has a well stocked bar and offers cocktails freshly made.
It is a stunning location, relaxed and friendly. We wish we spent more time relaxing here - a definite return trip for us!
- Bryan (8/5): A lovely place to relax and unwind - This is a lovely B&B located in the center of a lemon farm. The animals at the property (horses, geese, cats, dogs) add to the experience. They provide access to fridge space to store food and drink and to the kitchen for making teas and coffees. There is also an extensive bar for making drinks and cocktails with an honesty box payment system. The breakfast is substantial with freshly made pancakes and eggs. Minor gripes are the broadband speed and the flavor of the coffee.
- Julia (10/5): - Wir haben uns gefühlt wie im Paradies!
Ein wirklich wundervoller Ort, mit schönem Pool, toller Natur, sehr lieben Menschen und einem mega Frühstück.
Haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und vermissen es jetzt schon.
- Josephine (10/5): Amazing B and B nestled amongst lemon groves. Can’t recommend highly enough - This is a totally unique place. So much nicer to stay here than anywhere in Taormina. Exceptional hosts who made us feel so welcome. The grounds are beautiful and the fact that you can have a cocktail by the pool is a lovely addition . You can also cook for yourself in the evening if you want to. Fabulous breakfast provided. Thank you Gidi and Paolo Nothing, perfect place to stay.
- Arran (10/5): Wish we stayed for longer! - Outdoor kitchen to use after breakfast had been served. All the extra bits already there so didn’t have to worry about salt/olive oil etc. The use of a fridge was great as local tomatoes and mozzarella were amazing. On site lemon grove also beautiful. Breakfast cooked by two ladies who would do anything for you.
- Patrick (10/5): Like an oasis with very lovely stuff in the green with animals, very calm and quiet,perfect to relax - It's like being in an oasis—truly lovely—nestled in the heart of a plantation, surrounded by palms. The house itself resembles a kind of a plantation home, complete with a pool, creating a serene atmosphere, ideal for relaxation. Paola, the owner, is delightful and offers valuable tips for local sightseeing adventures. And breakfast? Simply marvelous. nothing
- Martin (9/5): Superb - A beautiful place with a very lovely host!
A great experience over all! The room on the ground floor was a bit unprivate and the shower was practically above the toilet
- Kamila (10/5): Amazing! - This is one of the most atmospheric places I have ever stayed in. Quiet oasis, close to the town, but very peaceful place surrounded by nature - lemon and orange trees, beautiful garden, animals walking around, view at Etna and Taormina from the terrace. And this incredible smell in the air! Apartment was spotless clean, staff very friendly and helpful, and good breakfast. Definately worth the money, I will be coming back for sure! Cant think of anything to dislike there
- Sinan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Migle (8/5): Oasis - The garden of this villa is a nice oasis, in the middle of Naxos. I loved the concept that it is a peaceful haven embracing retired horses, dogs, cats and gooses. You can get a terrace with a view magnificent view to Etna. Nature wise, wonderful place. I had a mixed feeling, that the prosperity days of the villa are in the past. It is more a feeling of staying in “grandma’s” household rather than hotel or resort. Maybe it is matter of the taste, by the end of the day it is B&B. Not luxurious, but decent. It has her own magic and for some things you have to close your eyes :)
- Maria (9/5): Lovely time out , perfect to calm down and enjoy the sun. - It is sooo pretty. Like paradise Toilet needed to get fixed , move for one night
- Anne (5/5): A nice place to stop and rest. - The cook, Victoria, was a gem. Such a lovely person. There is a lot of land and space to relax in. The view of Mount Etna is beautiful. The room was very spacious and clean. Great parking. A relaxing pool area. The overall location isn’t ideal.
- Kaja (10/5): - A little gem and a fantastic atmosphere - not far away from Taormina ..
Paola and her team gives the best service.
- Heidi Christine (10/5): Koselig lite sted med vakker hage. - God vegetarianer frokost. Litt utenfor sentrum, lurt med bil. Meget gjestfritt personale. Nydelig hage med vakkert bassengområde. God dobbelseng. Flere dyr på gården som gjorde det ekstra koselig.
- Igor (10/5): Exceptional - A piece of paradise in a lemon grove. Various beautiful animals that peacefully walk around the huge property. Large apartment with big bathroom. View of Etna from the terrace. The pool and surroundings are incredible. Everything is made with a lot of taste. An excellent breakfast prepared and served by the pool will make you feel like royalty. Many thanks to the host Paola for the amazing hospitality and to the whole staff! Special thanks to Gidi! Everything!
- Priska (10/5): Ruhige Ferientage - Wunderschöne Anlage im Grünen, sehr freundliche Gastgeber und Angestellte. Frühstück reichhaltig im Patio.
- Nigel (9/5): Really nice. Thank you - Excellent breakfast. Very friendly staff. Lovely swimming pool . Comfortable bed.
Car parking
Great base for Taormina
Great base for Etna Needed a car to go for dinner
Not much head room in bedroom if you’re over 5’2
- Seohee (10/5): Exceptional - It was the best destination in Naxos. Lovely staffs, great place and awesome experiences in Sicily.
- John (8/5): Horses grazing through the gardens and lemon groves whilst you enjoy a wonderful breakfast really makes this oasis of ca - It’s beautiful and has a laid-back vibe. Nothing worth mentioning
- Larry (10/5): - Geese and dogs. Horses too
- Deniz (10/5): Exceptional - Simply perfect. Thanks Paola and team!
- Raf (9/5): Lovely ‘tropical’ stay in Giardini - Swimming pool
Incredible garden
Lots of animals, even horses
Great breakfast Airco in our room was OK to cool our bedroom, but not the other rooms
- Louise (10/5): Thank you so much to Paola, Victoria and the team at La Villa for a really unforgettable stay. Incredible breakfasts mad - The most incredible place. A total sanctuary, you’ll find it really hard to leave! Nothing
- Haddad (10/5): Very relaxing - The tranquility Not much
- Claudine (10/5): We loved loved loved our stay, the villa is luxurious with roaming animals a beautiful cooked breakfast each morning. We - Everything it’s amazing from the moment y ou arrive you feel like you hit the jackpot. Pool is amazing the roaming horses and the breakfast 🍳
- Christopher (10/5): Exceptional - Everything about this stay was marvelous. Paola and Vittoria were super friendly and always open to help us with some suggestions. Vittoria was great at the kitchen during morning breakfast, cooking some tasteful breakfast recipies. The place was super clean, the rooms were fantastic, and the Villa feels like a paradise for couples. Will definitely return.
- Kylie (10/5): Dreamlike! - We stayed here for 2 nights at the end of our trip which was a perfect way to relax before going home - we didn't want to leave! Everything was perfect - the gardens, pool, gorgeous buildings. The breakfast was exceptional, one of the best we had in Sicily and Paola the host (and all the staff) were extremely helpful and amazing hosts. Paola was kind enough to drive us to the bus stop on our way home. A kitchen is available for guests to cook which is a great option. Great for animal lovers to see the cats, horses and geese around the property. It was like a dream! It is still located close enough to town to be able to walk. Would definitely recommend!! Nothing - everything perfect!
- Julia (10/5): Lovely place to rest with incredible lemon garden - Totally charming place which is incredibly enriched by the owners with their openness!!!
Delicious breakfast!! -
- Zion (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jack (10/5): Exceptional -
- Aline (9/5): Fantastic B&B with great breakfast, super nice garden & pool, only 4 rooms so very quiet & relax! - host Paola is a VERY friendly Italian lady who will make your stay wonderful, the breakfast is very LOVELY and also the area around the B&B (garden & pool) are SUPER, a car is the best way to reach this B&B, supermarket close in 5 minutes, full kitchen at this B&B that you can use (also with big fridge & freezer!) fantastic pool, restaurants very close in Giardini Naxos (need a car!) if you go to Alcantara gorge this is a very nice trip but you must take water shoes! trip to Taormina very easy from this B&B, we loved this stay in this B&B, I asked Paolo to have a small surprise for my husband birthday at breakfast and she did! for us the beds in the room next to the pool were a little hard but this is a small detail in this wonderful stay
- Annette (9/5): Superb -
- Bruno (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lesli (10/5): Exceptional - Host was amazing!
- Leon (9/5): Superb - Amazing and calming location. Paola was a great host and we really enjoyed our stay at her beautiful place.
- Felicity (10/5): An oasis you’ll never want to leave - Me and my partner had the pleasure of staying here whilst on our 1 year wedding anniversary trip around Sicily. We stayed in 4 different places and this place was an absolute dream and by far my most favourite. I knew from previous reviews and photos it was going to be special but it definitely exceeded expectations. Paolo went out of her way to pick us up from the bus station as we were using public transport, she also took us to her favourite Pizzeria as we had no dinner, so really appreciated this. We arrived in the dark but the next day we opened our curtains to amazing views of Etna, a stunning tropical surrounding and the relaxing sound of birds. The breakfast served in the terrace next to the pool was incredible, and the best we had on our whole trip. From cereals, yogurts, fruit, crepes, eggs and frittatas, we were spoiled for choice. The grounds and pool area are stunning and we spent a whole day sat lounging by the pool and wandering in the gardens and lemon groves. Also a great place for animal lovers with cats, dogs, geese and horses roaming free. The room we stayed in was massive with extra lounge area and terraces. Lovely decor and very comfortable. If you are looking for peace and quiet in a beautiful location that is close to Taormina but not in the mad hustle and bustle then I 100% recommend staying here. We will definitely be back one day and hopefully stay longer to enjoy this stunning place :) Nothing it was all incredible
- Jonathan (10/5): Magical setting of lemon trees orchard, palms and olive trees, horses, geese, dogs and cats living in harmony at this be - Peaceful, beautiful, fantastic view!
- Nora (7/5): Due to lack of sleep, we could not appreciate the experience sufficiently. - Extremely kind hospitality, delicious breakfast. The host tried to please us. The environment and the garden is beautiful. The complete absence of the private sphere. The insulation of our apartment was not resolved. We lived with the owner, who stayed up late at night, we could hear everything and smell the cigarette smoke. The beds in the outer rooms of our apartment were uncomfortable, the children could not sleep well even once.
- Cheryl (10/5): I will be staying here the next time I come visit - beautiful property with an outstanding home made breakfast and welcoming pool and outdoor showers and facilities a little hard to find but owner went out of her way to meet me at nearby location
- David (10/5): Before booking I saw that La Villa had excellent reviews - it fully lived up to them. - Excellent breakfast. Local produce. varied. nothing to report
- Debi (10/5): My little piece of paradise - I stayed in the rooms by the pool - it was perfect for me - I had already been touring Sicily for 10 days and decided to have a rest day by the pool - plenty of comfy sun loungers by the pool and also in shadier areas in the garden - just heavenly. There was a shower and toilet near the pool - I didn't need this as my room was a few metres distant, but ideal for other guests staying in the main residence.
The breakfast was without doubt the best I have ever eaten - freshly prepared and included Sicilian dishes - absolutely delicious.
The setting was very tranquil - with a view towards Mt Etna. The facilities were excellent - with a kitchen, barbeque area, laundry area, lovely garden, and a good supermarket close by. A few guests cooked in the evening and this was a real bonus.
Paola, the owner, was so helpful with advice. She speaks excellent English - but agreed to speak with me in Italian as I am trying to improve my language skills. Vittoria was also lovely and helpful.
I had a hire car and felt very safe - the property has an electric safety gate. For me the property is within walking distance of the main town, restaurant and beaches (but I love walking). However, most of the time I drove everywhere and took my walks along the coast (rather than to it).
Within easy reach of Taormina - beautiful but very touristy, the Alcantara Gorge (I had a wonderful time gorge walking) Mt Etna and many beautiful small towns. Much of the east coast of Sicily is accessible via the autostrada. There was nothing I didn't like - this was my little place in paradise.
I just wish I had stayed here longer - it was my favourite location of the 4 places I stayed - I felt very pampered and very welcomed.
Uploaded 4 photos (of many) but not of the lobby or bathroom.
- Nayan (9/5): Superb -
- Liron (10/5): wonderful - the place is amazing!
beautiful, with etna view.
great breakfast and pool.
- Christophe (9/5): Hidden paradise close to Taormina - Beautiful surroundings, nice pool, excellent breakfast, super friendly and helpful host No curtains in the room
- Irénée (10/5): Exceptional - exceptional breakfast, very nice host, summer kitchen available to guests
- Karolina (10/5): Peaceful property amongst a gorgeous garden - Peaceful hideaway in a lush garden near Taormina. Paola takes a great care of the property and serves the best breakfast in Italy. We’ve traveled a lot around Italy and that’s just a fact! The pool is very big and super nice with an unbelievably amazing garden. You have a fantastic view on Etna. Taormina is just a 15’ drive, which is perfect! One afternoon we have decided to take a siesta by the pool and where woken up by an extremely noisy child which happened to be the family of the owner. They completely took over the pool area and were very loud, which is not what you wish for when trying to relax and paying over 180€, and at the same time feeling like you are out of place.
- Katja (10/5): - Nette Gastgeber, Oase der Ruhe, super Frühstück und Anlage
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful setting with clear views of Mount Etna. Breakfast beside the lovely (and large) swimming pool was a highlight.
- Jonas (10/5): - Es ist eine wahre Oase der Entspanntheit und ein toller Ort um runter zu kommen, am Pool zu liegen und etwas zu kochen. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und werden bald wieder kommen.
- Paul (10/5): - Excellent hostess Paula backed up by a great team,breakfast a treat everyday.would recommend a stay here long term or just if passing through.....😃😃😃😃
- Ash (10/5): Magnificent - An amazing villa with amazing surroundings and amazing people running it. Paola and team made our stay a memorable one. The only negative was that our stay was too short. Highly recommend this place for some Sicilian serenity.
- Jan (10/5): Ett enastående ställe - La Villa är en oas där jag och min sambo stannade i fyra nätter. Omgivningarna är oerhört vackra och hela anläggningen ger en känsla av lugn och avkoppling. Rummen är stora, vackert inredda och oklanderligt rena. Poolen ger skön avkoppling och det finns ett gemensamt kök att utnyttja om man hellre vill stanna på området i stället för att äta inne i stan. Det är endast en kort promenad dit på 15 minuter, vilket vi gjorde en kväll, men i övrigt föredrog att stanna på La Villa.
Frukosten är något utöver det vanliga och värdinnorna är måna om att det varje morgon erbjuds något nytt som tillägg till en redan fulländad frukost. Ska du till Etna med omnejd, tveka inte, detta ör verkligen ett fantastiskt ställe.
- Natacha (10/5): Incantevole ! - Quel endroit merveilleux et enchanteur ! J’en cherche encore mes mots, tant l’endroit nous a plu. Au cœur d’une culture de citronniers bio se cache un petit coin de paradis ! Une merveilleuse propriété dotée d’une piscine magnifique, dans un écrin de verdure, entre palmiers, cactus géants, bananiers (et oui !), arbres à Kaki, à « pere delle nonne », pins et autres. Nous y avions côtoyé chats, chiens, lapin, oies, poules, coqs et chevaux, pour notre plus grand plaisir ! Et que dire des gargantuesques petits-déjeuners préparés avec goût et amour par notre rayon de soleil matinal, au bord de la piscine ? De plus, nous avions accès à la cuisine ouverte ainsi qu’à un frigo pour concocter nos propres petits plats durant la journée. La charmante et sympathique Paula est présente tous les jours pour s’assurer de notre confort et nous donner de précieux tuyaux sur la région, les restaurants et autres. Et j’allais oublier : la vue à couper le souffle sur l’Etna ! J’espère pouvoir y retourner prochainement ! Merci à toute l’ équipe de La Villa d’avoir contribué largement à ce que notre séjour à Giardini Naxos reste gravé dans nos cœurs !
- Anna (10/5): En idyll nära till allt - Ett familjeägt B&B med personlig service. Vi vaknar till en vy av Etna och ljuden av gårdens höns. Varje morgon får vi provsmaka olika typiska sicilianska frukostar. Vi delar denna underbara miljö med gårdens djur som ser gården lika mycket som sin som den är gästernas. Bli inte förskräckt om du vaknar till en häst utanför rummet som våra grannar fick erfara. Vi hittade ett hem på Sicilien som vi gärna återvänder till.
- Ian (10/5): Peaceful luxury (and horses!) - We spent a great 5 days here in early September 2018 and would return next year without hesitation. We had a huge bedroom, big pool and modern facilities and a relaxed and professional hostess (Paola). You will need a hire car, and you must go to the nearby lido with recycled deck chairs (ask Paola). Also there are horses grazing in the grounds that made this unique!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location and facilities. Exceptionally helpful staff. Would highly recommend
