Testimonials
This is what some of our
guests say:
"Das Haus hatte alles was man sich von einem Urlaub wünschen kann. Eine super Aussicht auf das wunderschöne Meer, einen tollen Garten und eine super Ausstattung! Ganz begeistert waren wir auch von der Flexibilität des Vermieters, es war überhaupt kein Problem, dass wir erst spät in der Nacht angekommen sind und auch das wir am Abreise Tag später als vorgesehen abreisten war kein Problem. Wir hatten zwei wunderschöne Wochen! Auch die Tipps des Vermieters hatten wir uns zu Herzen genommen und damit zum einen tolle Ausflüge gehabt, zum anderen die besten Einkaufsmöglichkeiten (der Metzger, der Fischladen und die Restaurants waren top!) Vielen Dank, wenn ich das nächste mal in Sizilien bin gerne wieder in der schönen Villa Anna." - Hanna C., Munich, Germany (Aug 2016)
"Nous avons adoré !!! Nous sommes restés 3 semaines dans cette maison. 3 semaines de détente au calme en profitant d'une vue magnifique sur les iles Eoliennes. La maison est parfaitement adaptée pour une famille de 5 personnes telle que la nôtre. Rien à redire, tout correspondant amplement à nos attentes. La région n'accueille pas un tourisme de masse, les petits commerçants locaux sont charmants et bienveillants. Bref nous avons adorés nos vacances partagées entre le repos, la découverte de la région, les ballades, la mer et les îles. Nous recommandons vivement cette maison et cette région encore préservée." - Benedicte C., Chamant, France (July-Aug 2016)
"We enjoyed Sicily very much, especially the warm seas. We enjoyed walking into Serro, and visiting the Pizzeria just outside the village. We thought the views from the villa were beautiful, and liked watching the lizards, gecko's and butterflies in the garden. The villa was roomy, clean and the beds comfy. Pass our best wishes onto Maria who made us very welcome when we arrived. Thankyou too for the bottle of wine." - John B., Buxton, UK (July 2014)
"We stayed at Villa Anna as a family of five (children aged 10-15) and found it a very pleasant base for exploring the North Eastern corner of Sicily. The villa was well situated - private and in open countryside, but within easy access of Villafranca and the motorway. It was clean, well equipped and everything was pretty much as advertised. There was internet access available but not wi-fi, and there were no English language channels on the TV. The patio had lovely views and we made use of the brick BBQ too. There was lots of parking space in the grounds for a car but take care if you have a wide vehicle as the entrance was quite narrow. We were fine in a large 5 seater Fiat 500. Everything worked fine during our stay, and the owner was excellent in his communications and information. Our security deposit was returned very quickly. In all, highly recommended if you want to explore this part of Sicily (Etna, Taormina, Tyndaris etc)" - Simon L., Portsmouth, UK (August 2013)
"We had a wonderful time in Serro. We enjoyed a lot the house and the view. We miss it already!" - Sophie G., Montreal, Canada (July 2013)
"Very big, sunny and fully equipped house. View is breathtaking. The bedrooms, living room and bathrooms are spacious, comfortable and very clean. The location is perfect to explore the whole Sycily (better to have a car). The owner is very kind and helpful. Perfect place for those looking for calm and interesting excursion" - Katarzyna B., Luxembourg (August 2012)
"Villa Anna is a dream place to stay, not only mentioning comfort (including a/c!). The whole property is just awesome, we enjoyed being surrounded by huge palm trees, with lemon and olive trees everywhere. We loved the breathtaking sea view, sunset was a magic instant, quiet and peaceful. Francesco, the owner, is very caring and attentionate, any question we could have was immediately answered. We look forward to being there again next summer!" - Jean-Daniel A., Demouville, France (July 2011)
"Villa Anna is spacious, comfortable and well equipped. There are superb views from the villa to both the mountains and the sea. Ideal for a relaxing get-away-from-it-all holiday. Just take a stack of books, get some of the excellent local wine and unwind (but don't forget the mossie repellents)." - Keith B., Maidstone, UK (June 2010)
"Maison très agréable et environnement très très calme. Vue magnifique face à la mer. Les photos sont vraiment comme la réalité. Propriétaire très sympa et très réactif. Une bonne adresse pour des vacances reposantes" - Sandra N., Sannois, France (August 2009)
"We loved this villa, peaceful, very secluded, with stunning views over the sea and the unspoilt countryside. The place was ideal for our children and they enjoyed it so much, it was very safe for them to play in the garden and in the back lawn. We spent most days at the beach in Villafranca, so convenient, only 5 minutes drive. The beach is sandy, water is very warm, we were swimming until 8.30pm and the sun was still there! The shops and supermarkets in Villafranca are very convenient and we use to buy the food there and cook it at home. Have a try at the recommended local shops, meat and fish are excellent and we had a couple of great barbecues. On the last day, we visited Taormina, such a gem, with its medieval streets, beautiful shops and bars. Thank you, Francesco, for being such helpful and nice owner!" - Nuria & Jordi, Barcelona, Spain (June 2009)
"A lovely romantic villa (even more beautiful than what expected from the pictures on the website!), it’s like being in the countryside and at the beach at the same time, the house is perfectly located on a peaceful hill and at only a couple of minutes drive from the seaside. The views are absolutely stunning and we enjoyed the most fantastic sunset over the Aeolian Islands, unforgettable! During the day, the possibilities are endless whether you choose the sea (Villafranca beach is at 5 mins drive), the hystorical places or the natural beauties.” - Lucio & Alicia, Madrid, Spain (May 2009)
"Our stay was absolutely wonderful, the villa is beautiful with a secluded location and fantastic views. House is large and comfortable with everything that you need. The countryside is lovely and there is much to see and do in the surrounding area.” - Annarosa & Kevin, Edinburgh-Rome/UK-Italy (May 2009)
"Absolutely beautiful and secluded location, the views are spectacular. Clear warm seas and nice beaches are 5 minutes drive away and swimming is great. The house is very comfortable and has a large garden and beautiful grounds. The area had much to capture our interest: Tindari, Taormina, Mount Etna, the Aeolian Islands, the Nebrodi Mountains. We did some of the main features and we recommend them all. However, at the end of each day, sometimes earlier, we were delighted to return home to relax and enjoy watching the sunset over the sea and the Aeolian Islands, absolutely stunning! A truly relaxing, delightful place to stay, if I could return tomorrow, I would!” - Marc & Francesca, Glasgow, UK (September 2008)
"The area was beautiful, as were the views from the house. Our family had a great time here. It was good not being overlooked by any other houses and to have the garden secure for the safety of our children. The villa was very comfortable and the owner is very thoughtful regarding his guests. The location is so peaceful yet close to many other great areas to visit. Some beautiful beaches are only five minutes by car and swimming was great. It was the most relaxing vacation in years, we will recommend this place highly. Thank you.” - Simon & Carol, Manchester, UK (August 2008)
"Fantastic holiday, Villa Anna was just the thing we wanted, well out the way of the tourist areas but also only a short drive (less than 5 minutes) to Villafranca where there are plenty of shops and restaurants. The panoramic views over the sea and countryside were stunning, it is a very peaceful setting, the silence is unbelievable, only birds singing! Seclusion was most appreciated and I loved the fact that nobody overlooked us. We enjoyed days out to some beautiful areas of Sicily (Taormina is wonderful), without having to travel far, and it was always nice to return each day to the peaceful setting of the house. The beaches were great, only a five-minute drive, even though it was the middle of July, they weren't very populated, this was a wonderful experience. The information pack was excellent and we followed most of the suggestions. We will be happy to recommend your house to others." - Morna & Family, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK (July 2008)
