Sehr nette und zuvorkommende Vermieter, sehr schöne Anlage!
Nach einer völlig chaotischen Anreise, der Flug wurde nach Comiso umgeleitet und gab keinen Transfer vom Airport, wurden wir herzlich von Cinzia und ihrem Mann empfangen und zum Abendessen des Lions Club eingeladen. Die Temperaturen waren durchgehend über 30°C, an mehreren Tagen sogar bis zu 45°C. Die Wohn-/Schlafräume sind klimatisiert und die sehr schöne Poollandschaft mit Bar bot abkühlung. Das Meer und ein Strand waren nur ca. 10 Gehminuten entfernt. Am Hafen gibt es viele Restaurants welche Meeresspezialitäten anbieten. Es ist ratsam, sich für die Zeit des Aufenthalts einen Mietwagen zu besorgen, Parkplätze gibt es ausreichend auf dem Gelände. Nach Catania benötigt man ca. 30 Minuten. Unsere Vermieterin Cinzia half uns bei allen Fragen und bestellte uns ein Taxi, wenn wir es benötigten. Die Kommunikation fand komplett in englisch statt. Wir können die "Villa delle Palme" gern weiterempfehlen, hier kann man wunderbar Urlaub machen und es ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Aktivitäten auf Sizilien. Von unserem Balkon aus hatten wir einen direkten Blich auf den Vulkan Ätna. Wir bedanken und für den wunderschönen Urlaub auf Sizilien, in der "Villa delle Palme"!

Great Views Listing Not what was Promised.
The host was very helpful with everything and the view from the apartment was amazing. We paid for a 3 Bedroom, 2 bath that looked amazing in the pictures. What we got was a 2 bedroom with very low beams that you had to watch your head when moving around and1 bath that looked nothing like the pictures. We were told those pictures were only a sample of some of the apartments but it did not say that anywhere in the listing. Just a bit heartbreaking when you arrive on a vacation and nothing looks like it did on the listing. We did appreciate the view and how helpful the host was.

Bon sejour
Bon sejour, personnel sympatique. Piscine agreable. Mais Appartement sale et délabré à l'image de cette region ou les poubelles s'entassent devant des restaurants fermés et abandonnés depuis longtemps. Vestiges d'un passé plus heureux.

Very basic
My friend and I stayed for a week, when we arrived we were not sure that we were expected. The room wasn’t made up the beds had been slept in, and it was quickly done while we retrieved our luggage from the car. Asides from that the apartment was ok, nothing special, one of the beds was extremely hard. The kitchen was very basic, the bathroom was too, the safe was not working. There was a shared pool that closed quite early in the day, we went out every day and never got back before the pool had closed so never got to use it. The location is good if you have a car, it is not easy to walk anywhere as there are no pavements so we ended up driving. But it’s about halfway between Taormina and Syracuse so both are easy to get to and spend days out there. Aci Trezza is a nice small town with the lovely volcanic coast. No beaches but you can swim or kayak out to the rocky islands. Depending on what you are looking for with your stay really. This isn’t a luxurious villa but it will do the job if you want a place to put your head down.

Ruim appartement, vriendelijke eigenaresse
De eigenaresse van het appartement was zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. We werden gastvrij ontvangen met heerlijke eigengemaakte jam in de prive tuin waar we ons eerste ontbijt kregen de volgende ochtend. In het hoogseizoen is dit ontbijt op een gemeenschappelijk terras, dat is aanzienlijk minder. Het appartement is gelegen in een enorme villa met in totaal 8 appartementen. Het appartement is ruim en voorzien van airco. De matrassen zijn aan de harde kant helaas evenals een deel van de hoofdkussens. De keuken is zeer gedateerd en niet erg schoon met weinig voorzieningen (weinig pannen, warm water deed het niet in de keuken. Warm water in de douche pendelde van heet naar koud. Als er meerdere gasten in de appartementen verblijven kan het ook behoorlijk gehorig zijn door de marmeren vloeren. (Wel een mooi uitzicht in de verte op de Etna vanaf ons balkon in ieder geval) Het zwembad buiten is zeer riant en mooi in een prachtig aangelegde tuin met voldoende stoelen, schommelbanken en loungesets en een grote overkapping. Let wel: wij waren er begin mei en dan is het weer nog niet stabiel en het water van het zwembad behoorlijk koud. WiFi werkte prima, 24/7 bereik, prima in orde dus, een uitzondering voor Siciliaanse begrippen. Kortom, prima voor een kort verblijf om Etna en Taormina te bezoeken.
