We were warmly welcomed by Claudia and her lovely family. The house was fairly small but had absolutely everything we needed and Claudia had left fruit and bottled water and even some wine for us. They also shared some wonderful food and wine with us on one day when they had a baptism in the family. The garden and surrounding area made this property truly astounding. The gardens, outside dining room and pool were truly magnificent and beautifully maintained; providing us with such a peaceful and beautiful retreat from all of our busy days exploring Sicilyâs wonders. We loved every minute of our stay. Grazie mille Claudia e la tua famiglia!
Our stay at the villa was great. The garden and pool are amazing. The location of the villa is convenient, as there are many nice restaurants, bakeries and bars nearby. The house was very clean and we had everything we needed.
Claudia was a great host and communication was very easy.
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 doesnât 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!
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!
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.
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.
We spent a glorious week at Villa Imbesi. The grounds are spacious, well maintained and very beautiful. We spent many hours enjoying the large swimming pool - a fantastic feature of this property! We visited a few local sights (Alcantara gorge, Mount Etna, Boat trip from Naxos to Isola Bella and more personally the war cemetery in Catania where my husbandâs grandfather was laid to rest) but we were also very content to stay at the house and relax around the pool. The house had everything we needed and we were permitted access to an additional room which had another shower/ toilet which was very useful. Claudia and her husband were excellent hosts - meeting us at the villa late in the evening following our arrival flight and even arranging a take-away pizza for us that night which was very kind and much appreciated! We also appreciated the fresh fruit and other items they had left for our arrival. They were unobtrusive hosts but were there if we needed any assistance. Thank you for our wonderful visit!
We had a lovely stay. The property has the most beautiful garden, with a large pool and views right across lemon groves and countryside. Highly recommended.
Claudia is a lovely host and couldnât 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.
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 didnât really matter so much. Very helpful owners would go back
We enjoyed a week at this beautiful property. The views are stunning and itâs 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.
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.
Smukt beliggende hus med en kĂŠmpe have og super lĂŠkker pool.
Holder man af ro, er huset sÄ fint at gÊste, haven har smÄ kroge og smukke blomster, her finder man lÊ og sol.
VÊrtinden sÄ venlig og hjÊlpsom pÄ alle mulige mÄder.
Maser af hÄndklÊder og viskestykker.
Eneste minus er, at der er lidt lavt til loftet pÄ 1.sal.
Diese Villa und Gastgeberin Claudia verdienen eigentlich â10 Sterneâ und nicht nur 5!
Der Kontakt mit Claudia war von Anfang an sehr positiv und extremst freundlich!
Die Beschreibung der Villa mit Allem entsprach absolut den Tatsachen, waren sogar noch besser als erwartet!
Claudia wartete schon bei der Ankunft auf uns. Ein wunderbarer Empfang. Sie zeigte uns das Haus und Einrichtungen, Pool, Garten und alles andere.
Als perfekte Gastgeberin hatte sie sogar schon GetrÀnke, Obst, Joghurt, Brot und andere Lebensmittel bereitgestellt! Ein wunderbar!
Alles war sehr sehr sauber und gepflegt! Internetempfang auf dem ganzen GelĂ€nde, genug Parkplatz fĂŒr 2 und mehr Autos!
Pool und Garten sind sehr groĂ, BBQ-Ecke toll (und ĂŒberdacht), schöner groĂer Holzkohlengrill!
Das Anwesen liegt zwar etwas abseits, aber man ist schnell mit dem Auto in Taormina, am Strand in Naxos oder einfach nur beim Supermarkt oder dem BĂ€cker.
SehenswĂŒrdigkeiten wie Alcantara Schlucht, Taormina etc. gar nicht weit weg!
Wir waren 5 Erwachsene und ein Kleinkind und haben uns super wohl gefĂŒhlt, und wĂŒrden jederzeit und gerne wiederkommen!!!
Bei Fragen oder Anliegen war Claudia immer zur VerfĂŒgung und hat geholfen wieves nur ging! Bei E-Mail-Anfragen hat sie stets sehr schnell geantwortet!
Villa Imbesi und Claudia verdienen das PrÀdikat wertvoll und ist eine super top Gastgeberin!
Immer wieder gerne!!!
Wir waren mit einer Familie mit vier Kindern dort an Pfingsten. Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön gelegen und gut angeschlossen, 12km von der Autobahn. Pool und Haus sind sehr sauber, ein ĂŒberdachter Essplatz auĂen. Klimaanlage ist vorhanden, wir haben sie aber nicht gebraucht.
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 didnât leave the villa expect to get bread.
Die Villa Imbesi ist ein ausgezeichneter Ort zum Entspannen. Der wunderschöne Garten mit dem riesigen Schwimmbad zur Alleinbenutzung ist ein Traum. Die Vermieterin Claudia und ihr Mann haben uns sehr freundlich empfangen, Obst und GetrĂ€nke waren schon da, und wĂ€hrend unseres Aufenthalts waren Sie zwar fĂŒr Fragen da, aber ansonsten hatten wir das ganze Anwesen fĂŒr uns. Das Haus ist - wie beschrieben - mit 60qm fĂŒr eine Familie mit 4 Personen nicht riesig, aber ausreichend, und das Haus haben wir eh nur zum Schlafen genutzt, ansonsten gibt es diverse Sitzgelegenheiten im Aussenbereich. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt und können das Objekt auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.
