Stunning property and pool. The hostess, Mara was so lovely and easy to get hold of. She happily answered all our questions and gave us wonderful recommendations for restaurants. Also helped my mum organise a birthday cake from a local baker. Could not have asked for more. Thank you Mara!

A Month in Santa Venerina
Exactly as advertised, beautiful property hidden away behind two electronic gates. The villa was as advertised and was an oasis. Mara, our host, was perfect. She was quick to respond to our needs and went far above what would be expected. One of our guest got sick and Mara arranged medical treatment for her. The living conditions were more than adequate although we would have liked a few swiffers at a couple of points of our stay!! There was a washer (which we used every day but no dryer) clothes were hung out to dry and came in with an amazing smell. The stove and oven were small but they were seldom used by us. Plenty of restaurants in the town and all throughout Sicily. Bottom line, Mara and the Villa were a "Once in a Lifetime" experience!!! We would highly recommend Villa Mareneve to everyone!!

Super six day stay in Sicily
The property was as described, very clean spacious and well located. Ideal for small group or family group. Property manager Mara was friendly and very helpful. Recommend having a car to get about and ideally located to visit other places and towns within Sicily.

Beautiful Property but needs TLC
Villa Mareneve has the potential to be a really good rental property. It has lush, well maintained gardens with a splendid pool and views to both the sea and to Mount Etna. Mara, the host who lives in an adjoining part of the property, responded quickly to our questions and requirements both before and during our visit. The interior of the villa however needs some TLC. Various things were broken or didn’t function well, for example the cooker light, a blocked washbasin and plugs that didn’t allow water to stay in basins. Additional blankets were provided on our request after a very cool night, whereas in most properties these are immediately to hand. The lighting was old fashioned and inadequate, making the whole place seem rather dark. Solar energy is used for heating the hot water so there was never enough in the evening for showers, even on sunny days. Mara had to arrange a top up via the boiler on several occasions. The shower doors upstairs were difficult to close and caused leakage. The bed mattresses were too worn and not comfortable. Likewise the pillows were too small and uncomfortable. Better signage is required in order to find the villa. A small “151” on the wall, partially hidden by foliage, was the only indication but a prominent villa name would be of assistance. However, it is a safe location with electronically controlled entry gates, giving a feeling of security. Several reviews from previous years mentioned that the front door lock needs attention. It still does as it takes a lot of fiddling to get it to open! The owners are quite rightly concerned with recycling and we were diligent in putting waste in the correct bins. For visitors staying more than a few days additional bags should be provided for rubbish since separate bins were needed for 4 categories of trash. Villa Mareneve is in a quiet location and is conveniently situated for visits by car to Taormina, Mount Etna, Syracusa, local supermarkets and restaurants.

Large property, great location
Perfect for 8 adults (3 couples & 2 singles). Large rooms, ensuites for all bedrooms. Huge swimming pool. Any problem fixed immediately by our friendly host, Mara. Great location for Mt Etna, historic villages and beaches. Front door lock hard to operate.

The Villa was just lovely and did not disappoint. The accommodations with each bedroom having a private bath was a big plus. We were 6 adults and 2 children and everyone was very comfortable and happy. The Villa and grounds were well cared for as was the wonderful pool.

Great stay
We stayed here for a family wedding close by. There were 6 adults and 2 children and there was plenty of room. Mara was very helpful and easy to work with. The views are stunning with mount Etna one side and the sea on the other.
