large but quirky property
Fabulous view and plenty of room as advertised. Vastly unequal options for bedrooms. Cannot state strongly enough how our stay was negatively affected by an absent UNREACHABLE and uninformative host. No actual address. No information on how to open the gate to the property. No guide to the winding streets within the gated community. No system for checkout - how to leave the house keys and gate opener AFTER using it to exit. I finally had to call VRBO support from a roadside gas station to get any useful assistance. It should be noted that communication is only possible by WhatsApp and then still unresponsive.

Great location for a Sicilian adventure!
We spent 3 weeks here in 2023 at the end of September through mid-October and had the best time.The yard and pool are worth everything! The house is well located if you want to hit the road, as we often did, but tricky to find initially (save Esso Costa Saracena in your GPS). Great sandwich shop just down the road and main grocery store 10 min away. Both the owner and the property managers were accessible on WhatsApp and always very helpful, but you'll need your translator app if you don't speak Italian. We miss Sicily and the house every day!

Family vacation
The property was wonderful. We appreciated the charm and historic feel of the Villa. A rental car is a big advantage but we also found many reliable cab companies. Enjoyed an incredible Sicilian feast prepared by Francesca and her daughter, just wonderful. Patio dinning with the water view and waves was perfect. Thank you.

Big house - great outdoor space
We spent a week here in October and really lucked out with the weather. The inside of the house is definitely dated and could do with updating, particularly the bathrooms, but we spent the majority of our time outside by the pool which was perfect! Being able to walk down and get into the sea was a real bonus too. The property manager was very helpful. The house is incredibly difficult to find and took us quite a while with the property managers help. The house has no name written on it, there are no road names and Google maps doesn’t take you to the correct place. Could probably benefit with the hosts sharing more detailed directions from Catania before hand. We had a lovely stay in Sicily over all and the house suited us perfectly and was well located.

A bit deceiving
The property, while in a nice private neighborhood on the coast, needs a lot of updating. The location is very inconvenient and a little confusing to find. You WILL need a rental car. The house needs more toiletries: toilet paper, soap, towels, bath mats. Hot water was often an issue, clogged drains. The outside paint was crumbling and in poor condition. Communication with the host was extremely difficult. The property managers were very nice and met us with keys once we arrived. The language barrier was a bit of an issue.

Idealer Ort zum entspannen
Das etwas in die Jahre gekommene Objekt hätte eine Auffrischung nötig, vor allem Küche und Badezimmer. Lage und Pool entschädigen dafür.

A very beautiful location, amazing view of the sea and Mt Etna, unfortunately the house is outdated.
The house is very spacious, the views are amazing and the pool is excellent! Aside from this the house is outdated, needs lots of work and the cleanliness was poor. The pictures you see online are from 2014- 8yrs old, so don’t be fooled. Our first night we had the air conditioners going in the bedrooms and the power went out, hence our first night was a little hot. We called Gianni and Francesca the next day who were accommodating and resolved the problem temporarily. We had to turn off a couple electrical breakers for the hot water tanks in order to operate the air conditioners, sacrificed hot water for cool nights. Make sure you bring essentials with you, like toilet paper, dish and laundry soap. The reminder of the week was uneventful and I sure hope that owners correct the pictures online as they were misleading. The value per price paid is not there….

Villa with Beautiful Views
Party of seven stayed at the villa. Large and comfortable. Was very difficult to find. Google maps failed! We loved the place but could use some TLC. Would stay there again. Gated community. Need the gate opener to leave but then leave it in a mailbox at the gate when checking out.

Fair price for an awesome stay.
We were 14 people staying in Villa Stella for one week. As described by other reviewers as well, the inside of the rooms could use some work, but trust me, during summer, you’d rather stay outside in the yard which is spectacular. Great pool, very clean and plenty of chairs & tables for 14+ people to sit. The biggest downside of our stay was the communication with the property manager. No response to our phone calls or texts only the day before our stay. I had to call support and insist on contacting the owner. Apart from that, I’d highly recommend this place and would come back anytime.
