A wonderful property in a lovely place
Fantastic villa with room for our family of 5. We spent our first week here - the second week, further south in Sicily, has a lot to live up to! Quiet rural location but with a panificio nearby, selling local food and wine. Very large private pool in the pretty gardens. Pretty much everything you could need for a pool/villa break -clean and well-equipped. We rented a car from Catania Airport but the terminal fire meant we landed in Comiso and were quite late and tired. Claudia was very understanding. Claudia was very welcoming - there was a little selection of food when we arrived. She accompanied us to the local store to get a few more provisions. She also recommended a truly special local restaurant - Paradise Alcantara, only 5 minutes from the villa. We went twice. Gole Alcantara is worth a visit and is very busy in August. You will need water shoes. Taormina is about 30 mins away but also very busy. Overall, highly recommended villa with a great pool and lovely host.

Spectacular!!
We had one of the most memorable stays ever! The property is even more impressive in person. The pool was so clean and perfect for a quick dip when hot. We enjoyed many meals outside surrounded by all the lemon trees and exquisite view. Claudia and her husband were waiting for us when we arrived late and showed us the wonderful grounds and property. The home is darling and we cooked a few times. Mitogio was a short drive (about 20-25) from the hustle and bustle of Taormina. A perfect escape. Do not miss the town bakery for fresh bread, daily pasta specials and procuitto! Claudia answered all of texts promptly and was an incredible host. Absolutely recommend!

Beautiful outdoor living
Claudia is a lovely host and couldn’t be more helpful or easy to communicate with. The garden, pool and outdoor kitchen surpassed our expectations. Great location for access to the many sights and attractions in this part of Sicily.

A fantastic tranquil place
The gardens and pool were the highlight of the trip! The Villa was exactly what was promised and very comfortable for the 3 of us. We really enjoyed having a base outside of the busy towns to retreat to and the pool was amazing. Very tranquil at night and lovely different areas to eat or just enjoy the evening. The local town doesn’t have much in way of shopping for food so a trip to Naxos to the supermarket to stock up is a must! I would caution on the cooking at home situation as the pots are very large and the hob quite little so you do want to stick to very basic food / use one pot if you can! Overall, a lovely lovely place to stay and would definitely return!

Lovely stay
In a lovely setting mountains/hills on both sides. Beautiful gardens and swimming pool attached to the villa. Villa is quite small with the storage being a bit tight but we managed ok as the owners gave us sole use of the building next to it. We were mainly outside anyway so it didn’t really matter so much. Very helpful owners would go back

Lovely stay
We enjoyed a week at this beautiful property. The views are stunning and it’s easy to take a trip into Taormina if you want to. The Golle Alcantara, a few minutes up the road, is also worth a visit - but go early in the morning. Claudia was a lovely host, helpful at all times.

Our most enjoyable holiday ever......
This is a fantastic property. The photographs on the website do not do the property justice. The gardens, pool and house are all beautiful. Claudia, the owner, is very easy to deal with. She responds to any communication very quickly. She takes great pride in her beautiful villa. Mitogio, the village in which the villa is set, is 15 minutes from the coast. There is a superb bakery and a petrol station in the village which sell water, a beer, coffee, granita, a lighter for your barbecue, lunch, charcoal etc etc The pool is the best we have had in 10 property rentals and the gardens around it are spectacular. They are also cooled by a breeze which makes sitting out a pleasure. The outdoor kitchen and terrace have fantastic views over the stunning countryside. All of the rooms are air conditioned and everything provided by Claudia is of the highest quality. Nearby are superb restaurants and the Alcantara Gorge which was brilliant to go swimming in. We hope to visit Villa Ibiscus again soon and see Claudia and her lovely husband Nono again.

Very good. Lovely and quiet.
Mitogio is a lovely quiet safe area. The villa is very well equipment and comfortable (especially the beds). The owners are lovely and we had a lovely warm welcome. We were warm on the colder days in the villa ( due to the heating) and on the other warmer days enjoyed the vast outdoor space. The photos do not do it justice how much outdoor space there is to enjoy. We used the villa as the base to go up Enta, go over the mountains to the Venus Pool on the other coast, spend time down on the beaches at Lido Di Naxos and Isola Bella, visit the greek Teatro Antico di Taormina and walk the streets of Taormina. We also enjoy a evening visit to Taormina to watch the Easter parade. Taormina is easy to visit there is a cable car with good parking at the bottom and also car parks on the route up with a free bus service to the town and back. But the best part about the staying at the villa in Mitogio is the local bakery google artepanealcantara. We walked every morning to get fresh bread. The location and the villa made sure we really enjoyed our first trip to Sicily. Two of the days we didn’t leave the villa expect to get bread.

Amazing property. It had everything, and more, in it that you needed. Clean, comfortable, perfect!
We have had a fantastic stay at this property. Claudia and Nino were extremely welcoming and so helpful. The house has everything in it that you need, very well equipped. All the essentials and plenty of towels. Washing machine, iron, ironing board, hairdryer all provided, so minimal luggage needed. The pool is beautiful, and perfect for relaxing around. Sun doesn't start going down till after 7, so plenty of time in the evening if you've been out for the day. There is a bakers 2 minutes down the road where you can buy fresh bread every morning, delicious. We used the outside eating area every day for all our meals. Very peaceful and relaxing. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful escape, then this is the perfect property for you. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would have no hesitation in recommending it. Ideal places to visit from here are Mount Etna, Etna land water park, Syracuse, Gole Alcantara and Giardini Naxos. We had a fantastic time and were sorry when our trip came to an end.
