May 8, 2025 #### Review for stay from 13 April 2025 to 19 April 2025 We had a lovely stay at Villa Ambra. As others have mentioned in previous reviews, the place looks better than in the pictures. It was clean and had a very nice outdoor area with a pool, sunbeds, dining area, grill and table tennis. We had to check in very late, but that was no problem which was very nice. We would also like to recommend the taxi driver Carmelo and his son Luca, recommended by the host of the villa (his card is in the villa). Carmelo was like our private guide every time we needed to go somewhere and told us a lot about the history of Naxos, Taormina and Castelmola. On the final day he took us to Siracusa for a day trip, which we highly recommend! ##### Trygve K.

It is a lovely neighborhood with many villas. Our villa had a wonderful view of Mount Aetna which has its own weather. There are many significant historical sites to visit in the area. We enjoyed the town of Naxos with its spectacular ocean views and restaurants on the water. The food in the area is terrific especially if you like seafood. ##### Standmeupatthegatesofhell Stayed 9 nights in Apr 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary Jean M.

The drive to Taormina was relatively easy and only took about 20 minutes. The view of Etna was impressive, but the views of the sea were unfortunately hazy because of the smoke from Etna. The only negative was was abandoned construction directly across the street; however, it did not obscure the view. ##### Mary Jean M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janet P.

A lovely place to stay - pool and big outside area, as well as a lovely house. We are a family of 3 couples and we all had big bedrooms and separate bathrooms. The property is situated in the village of Trappitello. Walking distance to shops, supermarket and a couple of cafes. You need a car to get into Taormina and around the area. We had a van - the access road is narrow but fine once you get used to it. Definitely recommend this property. ##### Leigh G.

Sep 5, 2019 #### Review for stay from 05 September 2019 to 12 September 2019 The villa was great for our family trip. With 6 adults and 4 children the space was great and the outdoor terrace and pool were amazing. The views of Mt Etna which was erupting while we were there, and over Taormina were also amazing. The location was great, Trapitello was a really nice town with some great places to eat and plenty of shops and easy access to the beach at Giardini Naxos via public bus or driving. I would definitely recommend Villa Ambra to anyone though especially if traveling with a large family. Orazio and Piero were great hosts and gave us some great info on the area and places to visit and also met us to check us in after arriving off our very early flight. ##### Jacob G.

We were allowed to stay a little longer due to a late flight departure, seem helpful. all in all, lovely villa, lovely pool, super good hosts, definitely worth a revisit. ##### Karsten S.

Jul 7, 2019 #### Review for stay from 07 July 2019 to 14 July 2019 We were 4 adults and had a lovely week at the villa, the views of mount Etna were stunning and we enjoyed relaxing in and around the pool. The air-con was much needed as the temperature was very hot. You definitely need a car to stay here, there is parking at the villa but we didn't find it easy to park there so eventually parked on the road outside at the front of the villa. Its only a 5 minute walk down the hill to the main village street (10 minutes back up the hill) where there is an amazing cheese shop, pasticcerias, places to get ice-cream and we even found a small grocery shop. We mainly went to Giardino Naxos for dinner in the evenings which had more choice of restaurants. We didn't want to watch any TV which was a good thing as there were no English language channels. We all had a wonderful time at this lovely villa in Sicily. ##### Katrina P. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy T. Jun 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We miss it already! We traveled to Sicily from Massachusetts, USA in June 2023 and spend 5 days at Villa Ambra. We were a group of 6 adults and 2 teens. We really enjoyed our stay. We liked how it was located a little bit away from the tourist area. We walked down the hill to the town area every morning and enjoyed getting coffee and pastries and practicing our Italian (thank you Google Translate). It was a wonderful experience for my family. There is everything you need a walk away including a grocery store. It was in a great location! Only a 15 minute drive to Taormina (we use the Lumbi parking garage and then took the free 3-5 minute bus to town, easy). We drove to Giardina Naxos for dinner a few times (5-10 min). Did a day trip to Mount Etna and another day trip to where our family is from about 1 hour away. The house was clean and the pool and patio were fantastic. Great views. I little bit of an eyesore with the house across the street being what looks like abandoned after pouring the base concrete but on the positive the view wasn't blocked. There was a wonderful view of Etna! We all can't wait to go back some day! ##### Nancy T. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### maria g., boston,ma May 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Memorable Family Trip in Sicily! Our extended family had a wonderful time in Villa Ambra! Everyone we dealt with was very nice from the online booking to Piero and Orazio who met us at the house to give us a tour and information we would need. They even left a bottle of wine and some snacks. The house was beautiful with more than enough room for 7 of us with 3 bathrooms and an outdoor shower outside. The outside area was spectacular with a view of Mt. Etna, and the sea, and the towns of Taromina and Castelmole. The kids really enjoyed the pool and it was a comfortable place to gather with a gorgeous table and chairs by the pool and out front. Piero gave us the name of a man named Charlie who came to the house with his assistant Antonio and prepared an amazing feast for us to eat outside to celebrate our anniversary. I would highly recommend doing this!! Plenty of loungers too, along with an outdoor kitchen. It is walking distance to town and we took advantage of that by going every morning for a cafe and cornonetto, and even tried one of the restaurants, which was great! There is a grocery store called the Eurospin that has everything you may need. We had a great visit at this beautiful spot and would highly recommend it!! ##### maria g.

Jul 4, 2023 #### Review for stay from 11 May 2023 to 18 May 2023 Our extended family had a wonderful time in Villa Ambra! Everyone we dealt with was very nice from the online booking to Piero and Orazio who met us at the house to give us a tour and information we would need. They even left a bottle of wine and some snacks. The house was beautiful with more than enough room for 7 of us with 3 bathrooms and an outdoor shower outside.

Sep 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely well equipped villa with beautiful views Villa Ambra was a relatively easy drive from Catania airport and had everything we needed for a week's holiday. The Pool was lovely and refreshing and well maintained. The accommodation was spacious, clean and comfortable. The garden was attractive with beautiful views out over Mt Etna. It was nice having a variety of options for eating outside during different times of the day. Trappitello itself is unremarkable but has a well stocked Eurospin supermarket which was inexpensive and a couple of restaurants. Gian Franco's s Steakhouse were very welcoming and friendly with great food and wine, so much so we ate there twice and were greeted as friends. So far as excursions are concerned, Taormina is a must (we parked at Porto Catania carpark after reading hideous reviews about the vehicle clearance at Lumbi parking). Siracusa/Ortigia and the centre of Catania were lovely. Savoca is worth a visit and has connections with the Godfather film. We also did a 4x4 sunset tour of Mt Etna which was very enjoyable. The only negatives were that there were some dogs in a neighboring property which barked constantly. I wonder whether the owner might have a word with the neighbour? Some of the pool loungers were a bit worse for wear and getting the car into the designated space was very tricky. But overall we loved the property and would recommend it. ##### Mary G.
