Magical
We booked the whole villa for a family celebration, my sixtieth birthday. The accomodation was perfect for us all...two couples, a couple and two young children and my eighty-two-year-old mother. We all had our own uniquely decorated rooms and bathrooms. The pool is exquisite and the gardens stunning with a wide range of tropical flora. Friendly Alberto ensured the pool was always clean and he also maintains the perfect gardens. Cheerful Victoria cleaned our rooms and the outdoor kitchen area each day. Paola found a chef for us so that we were able to have a celebratory dinner one night at the villa. Elvira is a wonderful chef and the meal was exquisite both in terms of taste and presentation. Other nights we either went out or had a barbecue . During our stay Mount Etna started erupting and as there is the perfect view from the villa we were able to watch it in the distance as we ate our dinner beside the pool. Amazing! The holiday surpassed my expectations. Paola is personable, lovely and extremely helpful. The villa is in a rural setting so I am glad we hired cars as we had my elderly mum and two small children. We walked to Giardini Naxos one day and it took about 15 minutes and a large supermarket is about 10 minutes walk. A number of dogs belonging to Paola and her mother are always nearby but keep out of the way of guests most of the time. I am nervous near dogs but I got used to them and they were not a problem. In fact I felt protected by their presence. Each day horses come through the grounds and the dogs bark at them to ensure that they pass through quickly. At first this was unsettling but we soon got used to their routine, which posed no threat, and enjoyed the experience.
