A wonderful house and very magical and lovely owners!

10/10

A charming, very comfortable well equipped holiday home with a secluded swimming pool. We had a really warm welcome from Tania, Pina and Antonio that made us feel at home straightaway. Inside there was a table set with bread, fruit and vegetables fresh from the garden and a fridge with chilled goodies wine cheese and olives. There is air conditioning in both bedrooms which made for a good night’s sleep. The family were extremely helpful and Rosie had made up a booklet with the history of the house and lots of local info on places to visit and restaurants etc. Antonio was just a phone call away and everything “was no problem” he even help me sort a problem with my hire car at a local garage. We had a guided tour of the garden and Maria said we could help ourselves to any of the vegetables, but we had no need as she brought us fresh vegetable when they came to work in the garden. We had a great 2 week holiday sightseeing and chilling by the pool. The whole family came to say goodbye which was very nice they were wonderful hosts, we will miss them.

Nous avons été très bien accueilli par la famille propriétaire. Nous étions attendus, avec plusieurs attentions ; et le logement correspondait parfaitement à la description. Sur les hauteurs, à 18 km de l'autoroute, entourés d'orangers. Pour qui recherche le calme, les paysages avec du relief, une piscine vraiment privée, c'est le top ! La piscine privative est très grande pour un logement 4 personnes (7 mètres de long je pense), plusieurs tables pour manger dehors. Vue sur les differentes collines / monts environnants, dont l'Etna. Places de parking. Logement très propre, climatisé, de la pression pour les douches, lave-linge, tres proche d'un supermarché. Véhicule indispensable pour les differentes visites. Si nous devons revenir à l'est de la sicile, nous reviendrons ici ! Merci à eux pour l'accueil, la disponibilité, l'excellent rapport logement / prix.

Wir hatten eine tolle Woche im Casa Mamma Maria in Francavilla de Sicilia. Die Gastgeber sind eine sehr nette Familie. Sie waren da, als wir ankamen. Als Willkommensgeschenk bekamen wir Wein, Käse, Schinken und Tomaten usw. Der Pool wurde fast täglich gereinigt und das Haus hat alles, was man sich im Urlaub wünscht. Und die Umgebung ist wunderbar.

Nous avons passé 2 superbes semaines face à l’Etna, au calme avec un environnement très apaisant. Rosy et sa famille (et leur chat trop mignon) nous ont très bien accueilli avec fruits, boissons et produits locaux à disposition, grande disponibilité et réactivité de leur part. Merci beaucoup pour cela. La maison est située à une vingtaine de minutes de la belle plage de San Marco, à peu près autant de Taormina. De jolis villages pittoresques à visiter autour. Le potager d’Antonio et de Maria nous a offert de belles tomates, même si l’entretien de ce jardin se fait quasi quotidiennement (les coucous à l’improviste ne permettent pas de se baigner nu dans la piscine 😬). Nous conseillons vivement cette location. Merci encore à la famille de Rosy

Très bon séjour avec un très bon accueil. Les propriétaires sont très gentils et nous conseillent très bien sur les visites à effectuer. La piscine est vraiment très bien surtout lorsqu'il fait très chaud ...s'il y avait juste un petit "bémol" ce serait d'avoir de la climatisation dans les chambres car seulement présente dans le couloir de l'étage.
