We had a lovely stay. The villa is quite large and comfortable, with a great kitchen for cooking and a beautiful pool. The host was kind and generous, leaving us freshly picked fruit. The location is a bit remote and navigating the small roads and blind turns is not for the faint of heart, but stunning ocean views make it well worth it.
Excellent welcome at the villa, with good advices and reactive support to fix the gate.
During our stay we endured high temperatures and hence we could enjoy the swimming pool and beach nearby.
Close to nice villages and charms of sicilly at its best!
We recommend highly.
Extrem freundlicher Hausbesitzer mit Tochter als Ăbersetzer. Alles wie beschrieben. Sehr schöne Lage oberhalb der Autobahn, sehr ruhig. Toller Pool. Oberes Bad etwas klein, bei schönem Wetter aber auch nicht nötig. Die Ausstattung in der KĂŒche etwas knapp. FĂŒr Alle Kleinigkeiten ist der Dottore immer ansprechbar. Toipapier, Waschmittel etc, alles ausreichend vorhanden
Kommen gerne wieder.
Mille Grazie
The property was a little tired but very comfortable and Giovanni was extremely helpful and hospitable. We had a lovely time. It states in the listing that cable tv was available but it wasnât connected. Overall highly recommend a stay there.
We have a great week at Villa Gemma. It was hot but the pool and the stunning views over the sea to mainland Italy made it a great place to laze around. The owner was lovely bringing us fresh Plums, Tomatoes and Basil - which our kids loved. We had a problem with the AC but the owner fixed it the next day - all without any fuss. We waited two years due to Covid - it was worth the wait! A great location for trips to Etna, Toarmina, etc. Local pizza restaurant was great - stunning views and a wide choice of pizza + a cold beer, heaven.
We can highly recommend the house. And the view over the sea and surrounding area is very very beautiful.
Perfect location, quietly, and the huge terrace and pool area was overwhelming.
Everything was over our expectations :-)
We had a great time. The villa was very comfortable and well equipped.
The outdoor space was a real highlight and we spent a huge amount of time relaxing outside. Our two year old absolutely loved playing in the pool.
Gianni was a great host and even brought us fresh figs, eggs and lemons when we arrived.
Where do I start?! An absolutely beautiful property with stunning sea views. Gianni and his daughter were incredibly helpful and went out of the way to make our stay as easy and special as possible. The villa itself was the perfect set up for a large family, with good sized room, the pool and terraces with panoramic views, table football, table tennis and and outdoor cooking and dining area. Location is outside of the busy tourist hotspots but close enough for easy visits. A five minute drive down to the fine pebble beach, with clean clear water and we never found it overcrowded. All absolutely perfect!
The accommodations were great! Giovanni was a most gracious host and the pool was a very welcome and refreshing activity at the end of a long day of touring the many sites in the area.
We have just returned from Villa Gemma and throughly enjoyed our stay. The views are wonderful and there's everything you need at the villa. A car is necessary and the local beaches and restaurants are very good. We will hopefully return oneday. Thank you for a lovely, relaxing holiday.
