Casa al Mare, Villa Bella

Wow, what a home. We had access to the great garden and our own access to a wonderful small bay. A perfect stay for a perfect holiday!

Nice and quiet apartment on a beautiful mansion with access to the sea. We enjoyed our stay with Francesca, who was an excellent host.

We had a very nice stay in Augusta. We lived in a lovely little house in very nice sorroundings. A huge garden with Palm trees a the most beautifull view to the sea??

When we first arrived the apartment took my breath away on how homely, nice and clean it was. Francesca was great and told us everything we needed to know and even got us a load of food and water which was amazing cause on the first day regrettingly we had no transport. I would say the pictures of the apartment did no justice for it because the outside garden was just as nice as the actual villa. There was a amazing cove just 1 min walk from the villa. There was a supermarket 8 mins walk from the villa but there wasn't too much else close by so I definitely recommend that you rent a car. Luckily in a neighbouring village was a car and scooter hire with good prices. In summary the villa was great and we felt very welcome by everyone we met. Regards Jacob

Villa Bella was a fantastic home from home to stay whilst we were exploring Sicily; from Corleone and Palermo in the northwest to Syracuse and Taormina in the east. The grounds of the villa are beautiful and extensive, even nicer than the pictures with the added luxury of seeing Etna from the lawn! The property itself is very stylish and airy and has every amenity you will need. Francesca and Giuseppe are exceptional hosts and Francesca’s Mother presented us with a wonderful breakfast on our first day of Granita and warm brioche which was truly memorable - Thank You ! We will remember our visit to Sicily and Villa Bella with great affection, Thank you Francesca & Family for your generosity and kindness, Denise & Tony Edwards.

We had a good time and you can enjoy the sun, the terrace and the beach. Francesca looks after you und does everything what is possible for her guests

Villa Bella is a very special place. We felt privileged to be there, experiencing the quiet beauty of the well-established and elegant gardens leading down to the private swimming cove. The accommodation is separate from the main, family house, and we had privacy yet were made most welcome by Francesca and her charming family when going up to the terrace for a better internet signal. We managed perfectly well without a hire car, with a wonderful supermarket just a few minutes walk up a lane hedged with jasmine and bougainvillea. We were only staying for a few nights, looking for peace and tranquility, pasta, wine, the opportunity for a little snorkeling, sunshine. We found it all here.

We received a very warm welcome from our hosts Francesca and Giuseppe. The resort is tastefully furnished and pleasant , right on the seashore in a spacious estate.

The apartment is cosy, clean and with all you need. Outside you have your one terrace with sea view, and a small walk through the beautyful garden leads to the almost private rockey beach with good snorkling. Fransesca, her family and the staff are very kind and helpful with ideas for sightseeing and restaurants. The place is a good location between Siracusa and Catania and for visiting the east coast.
