A wonderful stay in Linera

The sea on one side, a volcano on the other. A really big pool and a wonderful villa in the middle. A fantastic place, go there if you have the opportunity! One big plus is Linera, the small village. Being able to go shopping on foot whenever you need is good, getting warm bread in the morning is even better. Maria is a true superhost, arranged every thing we asked for and even managed to fix a guitar for us, very impressive!

Beautiful home…wonderful hosts!

This is a perfect home for large groups…spacious kitchen and living areas, pool, and plenty of bedrooms. The outdoor dining area has lots of seating and lovely views of the sea and Mt Etna. Our hosts were very gracious and responsive, and checked in periodically to see if we had everything we needed and were enjoying the home. I definitely recommend this as a place to stay🌞

Lovely village of Linera within walking distance, views of Etna and the Ocean, within driving distance to Taormina, Catania, Mt Etna and more. The villa has so many cool features, we used the outdoor bbq and the pool, really enjoyed our stay and Maria the host was very responsive and helpful.

Fantastic vacation

The villa is beautiful and well looked after, everything you could need is inside it has secure parking and a large garden that was great for the children playing and exploring also a great size swimming pool that we all enjoyed. On one side you have ocean views and Mt Etna on the other side. The local village has good shops and also large supermarkets within a short drive. Maria and her family made us feel very welcome and gave us all the help and information we needed, we had a great time here and would definitely recommend this villa. A wonderful place to stay.

Splendid villa, spacious and comfortable

This is an exceptional villa, very large and comfortable, with generous reception rooms and lots of lovely indoor and outdoor spaces to lounge in. The pool is larger than usual and a gorgeous place to swim. There is a wonderful curtained outside dining area, again with masses of space for everyone. Amazing views of Etna and the sea. The local village is good for most shopping with an excellent bakery. The best beach is at Fondachello. Acireale is a beautiful place for a meal and a wander round some wonderful churches and squares.

Glorious Property

The villa was everything as described and more. The Mediterranean on one side and “Mamma Etna” on the other. There were 4 of us all 75+ years old and we were just amazed at the grandeur of the grounds. The villa was amply furnished for housekeeping and cooking. Maria is/was the absolute best host I’ve encountered of all the places we’ve rented. She went above and beyond dropping of milk and pasties for our first morning and driving back to the villa to rescue my husband when he got lost 2/10 of a mile from the villa. She is the most caring and responsive host I’ve ever encountered. Nothing was beyond her. I felt an immediate connection with her. You will not regret renting here, trust me on this. There is nothing lacking. It was a grand vacation and I miss being there already!!

Family Holiday

The villa is beautiful, very stylish with bags of character and lovely interior design features. There is lots of living space for relaxing, eating and playing games - and all the bedrooms are a good size. Outside, the grounds are beautifully maintained and there is a lovely turquoise pool with fabulous views of Mount Etna on one side and out towards the sea on the other. There was also a lovely outside eating area with BBQ, where we ate most of our meals. The villa is located in a small quiet village about 15 minutes from the coast, and is a great base for day trips to Taormina, Syraceuse and Mount Etna. There is a bakery and a small supermarket in the village and a big supermarket a short drive away where you can get everything you need. This was the perfect place for a relaxing holiday and Maria was a wonderful host – great communication before we arrived and throughout our visit, including recommendations for restaurants - a big thank you to her. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this villa for a family holiday - it is a truly fabulous accommodation!

Wonderful 10 Day Stay

Review notes for Maria: Maria was always accommodating and responding to any questions quickly and efficiently. Enrico, her son orientated us about the mansion when we first arrived and answered any questions. The home was well organized and stocked with essentials. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything at our fingertips. Many spices readily available. Small appliances in order, kettle, toaster etc. Also the washing machine came in very handy over our ten day stay and they also had a drying rack. House is gated and very secure. We felt comfortable and safe. Wonderful views of ocean and mount Etna. Very Prompt ahead of our arrival with any questions Gave us recommendations for day trips. Mount Etna. Castelmola Super friendly House large and very comfortable and great place to spend time with family and friends

Beautiful villa with loads of space

The villa is enormous with tons of space for our extended family to be together but also have our own space. There are 3 bedrooms next to the gigantic double living area on the ground floor (1 double with a sofa bed and ensuite) and 2 twin (one of them has an ensuite). Upstairs there are 3 double bedrooms (1 en suite) along with a kitchenette and another bathroom. These rooms have balconies and one has a large terrace, which has an amazing view right across from the sea to Etna. The kitchen has a dining area for 8 so we mostly ate here, rather than the long dining table in the living area. The bedrooms have aircon, not needed by most of us in April but my elderly mother appreciated a bit of heating in her room in the evenings and we lit the log fire too. The house feels cool, which I am sure is great in the summer heat. The pretty (and large) garden has fantastic views in both directions (Etna and the sea), with a covered dining area as well as a surround patio round the house. Bring your ping pong balls for a game! We visited at the beginning April and the superb weather meant that we were able to enjoy the pool too (not heated but very pleasant if you enjoy a refreshing swim). The house is accessed by 2 electronic gates, be careful when you are turning out of the outside gate onto the road as there is limited visibility. We walked down to the village for bread and pizza, be aware that there is no pavement. Highly recommended place to stay!

une semaine dépaysante

Maria et son fils nous ont accueillis avec beaucoup de gentillesse et la maison était très confortable avec un emplacement magnifique pour observer les fumées de l'Etna d'un côté, et la mer de l'autre côté, près de la piscine. La maison est très bien équipée, la piscine est un peu vieillissante, mais très appréciable, et l'environnement est apaisant. Nous avons eu quelques problèmes de coupures d'eau, mais Maria a été très réactive et en moins d'une demi-heure, le problème était règlé.

Beautiful Property

The house is big! Perfect for a larger family. The Property has amazing views and is quiet and comes fully stocked with everything you need. The little town is close and had what we were looking for. We even arranged for Gloria (off Maria's recommendation) to come up one evening and teach us how to make a dinner - it was Fabulous! The only issue we had was the down stairs showers ran hot and cold. Which was not an issue for most of us we just went to use the upstairs showers but for my 70 year old mother who could not climb the stairs it was a bit if a sticking point.

Amazing villa

Fantastic location, sea on one side, Etna on the other. We were a party of 5 couples lots of space to either sit round the pool in the sun or sit in the shade. Very well equipped, Maria couldn't do enough for us and was especially concerned when the weather was bad and Etna decided to wake up!! Gloria cooked for us all one evening which was very enjoyable. Good supermarket pizzeria and bakery in walking distance, Good to use as a base, highly recommended.

Fantastisch authentiek Italiaans huis met groot zwembad

Fantastische woning met een beeldschoon uitzicht over de zee en de Etna. De toegang is wat moeilijk vindbaar langs een drukke weg, maar als je de oprijlaan oprijdt begint het genieten. Zwembad was echt top net als de rest van de zeer ruime tuin. Zon de hele dag gegarandeerd in de tuin. Kinderen en ouders genoten van de speelmogelijkheden met als topper de tafeltennistafel. Maria ontvangt je zeer gastvrij en reageert heel vlot op vragen. Hielp ons aan goede tips en aan goede adressen voor Taxi, Kok, etc. Heerlijk verblijf gehad. Echt een aanrader.

Fantastic rustic Sicilian villa

From the moment you arrive at this lovely villa in Linera, you feel at home and know the house as your own. Arrived on Saturday evening and was welcomed by our host Maria who gave us a quick tour of the house and garden. Maria had even made sure there was water, coffee, wine, biscuits and chips available when we arrived (thanks for that Maria) From the house there is a beautiful view over the countryside with the sea to the east and Etna to the west. The house has everything you need and since we were only 5 adults, there was plenty of space, bedrooms and bathroom for everyone, huge living rooms and a nice big kitchen equipped with most things. From early morning to late evening we were in the garden and enjoyed the covered terrace and the 12.5 meter long pool with lovely cool clean water for a week where every day we had 30-35 degree heat and sun from a cloudless sky. The town is not big, but it has a baker, grocer with butcher and a number of pizza restaurants (it is Italy after all). By car you can get around a lot and since the house is well located for many good trips on the east coast, we were both on the Etna expedition, wine tasting, the sea and city walks. A fantastically lovely holiday that we won't soon forget. Highly recommend this villa and location in Sicily, but especially the perfect host Maria. The Skov family - Denmark

This villa is absolutely stunning with everything you could possibly need, Maria is the perfect host

We chose to do something very special for our holiday as we were celebrating my mother's 70th birthday, and this villa did not disappoint. We were 4 adults and 2 children of 11 and 7 years, and we were spoilt for space. The place is huge! We arrived quite late on a Saturday night and Maria our host was there to meet us. We didn't drive as we're not confident driving abroad, and Maria was kind enough to organise a transfer for us which made the arrival very slick. The local supermarket is closed on Sundays and Maria was extremely thoughtful and had bought various things for us so we wouldn't go hungry, as well as a special bottle of wine and beautiful lemons picked from the property itself! Such a lovely personal touch that was really appreciated. Locally there is a small supermarket, bakery, butcher, fruit and vegetables, a souvenir shop and pizza restaurant about 10 mins walk away. Very handy! If you don't drive it can get quite pricey to get around to visit different areas and excursions but that was the choice we made. If you drive, it's easier. We managed to get to Taormina, Gardini Naxos, Isla Bella, Catania and of course Etna. There's plenty of parking and you're secure and away from the main road behind 2 electric gates and up a driveway. The pool and the garden... so special. Even though we were out and about we spent time in the pool which is absolutely stunning and perfect for the 32 degree heat we had. The view... wow! Our highlight of our holiday was the view. It's a sea view on one side of the garden right out to the Taormina coastline and in the other is the beautiful pièce de résistance, Mount Etna herself. During the day she was gently smoking away, then at night we were treated to amazing bright orange lava flows!!! Every night!!! We couldn't believe our luck. Really topped off an amazing holiday in an extra special villa with a perfect attentive host. Thank you so much Maria!

Sehr schöne Villa mit viel Platz und weitläufiger Anlage die wirklich gut in Schuss ist (sogar die Matratzen). Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin war sehr angenehm, einfach und schnell. Maria stand uns mit Rat und Tat beiseite und die kleinen Problemchen wurden sofort gelöst. Eine tolle Urlaubserfahrung und somit uneingeschränkte Empfehlung.
