It was a nice and practical house in beautiful surroundings. The swimming pool was clean and inviting, and we had some friendly visits from the horses in the nearby field. A very positive surprise was the separate unit with a double bed, its own bathroom, and a kitchen. It worked perfectly for us, as we were two adults and five younger ones travelling together. We also enjoyed the small town of Gaggi, where we did our grocery shopping, had dinner at some nice restaurants, and visited the beautiful Alcantara Gorge. We chose the public entrance, which cost only a fraction of what the private one did. Gaggi was a great starting point for trips to both Taormina and Mount Etna.

A lovely rustic farmhouse in the countryside. Peaceful quiet and relaxing. The access road is uneven but this is the countryside. Mimmo was amazing We had a problem with our car and he spent his Sunday locating the part required and getting a local garage to open and repair for us . What a gentleman

Lovely location with stunning vista. Very peaceful yet reasonably close to Taormina and Giardini Naxos. Had a fun afternoon swimming at the Alcantara Gorge which is only a short drive away. We can recommend eating at the Alcantara Bistro in Gaggi - great pizza. Enjoyed the pool.
The house is accessed by a gravel road which is quite rutted in parts - we had a Jeep Renegade which we were grateful for. Don't let this put you off as the views are worth it.

Verblijven bij Giulia was een zeer fijne ervaring. Het gerestaureerde boerderij-huis gaf een authentiek Siciliaans gevoel. Het zwembad en bbq met het omringende gebergte, welke voor een gemoedelijke rust zorgden, maakte elke ochtend en avond een topervaring. Ook de drie paarden in de wei, gaf het een complete landelijke touch. Ook het interieur was goed onderhouden, met ruime kamers en veel lichtinval en prachtig uitzicht. Kortom, we hebben genoten van ons verblijf.

We had a wonderful stay at this place, located in a beautiful natural area with no neighbors nearby. It was very peaceful and quiet, like a little paradise. We loved the horses, which added such a great vibe to our stay. The road to the villa seems rough, but it’s not as bad as it looks. We had a station wagon and still managed to get there without any problems. Mimmo and Francesca were very friendly and answered all our questions quickly. The bed was super comfortable, and I felt just like at home. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves nature and peace.

The villa was everything we had hoped for. An authentic home in a stunning location. A place we could relax and reconnect with our family and enjoy the beauty, warmth and good food that Sicily has to offer. Mimmo was on hand to solve any minor issues very quickly and his beautiful horses kept us company throughout the day! We fell in love with the rustic charm and truly enjoyed every minute we spent there. Thank you

Fluid and pleasant communication with Giulia and Victor who manage Mimmo's house, who welcomed us warmly and offered us a bottle of wine:) The house is authentic, the fabulous decor between the sea and the mountains, the view from the splendid pool. The presence of horses is a nice little pleasure for animal lovers like us. I would recommend this place that will allow you to discover Sicily off the beaten path!

Thank you for a wonderful stay! The house and surroundings are very serene, but at the same time close to small towns, beaches and Taormina. We enjoyed the pool a lot! There is no dishwasher at the home, but it was not issue for us. We found everything we needed to cook in the kitchen. It was a perfect house for 8 of us including 2 kids.

Cadre idyllique , en pleine nature avec la compagnie des 3 chevaux de Mimmo . La piscine et les installations au top. Ce sont 2 logements indépendants accolés, idéal pour 2 familles par exemple. L'accès est un.peu sportif , avec une route pas toujours carrossable. Attention aux bas de caisse ! Mais c'est la condition pour profiter de ce havre de paix. Nous y retournerons bien volontiers !

Our stay at Villa Idyllica was lovely overall. The location offers stunning views of the mountains and sea, making it a truly tranquil place surrounded by nature. The rustic villa, though a bit basic, met our needs adequately. Mimmo was quick to resolve the water pressure issues we faced during our stay, which we appreciated. Having a Jeep Renegade rental was handy for navigating the rough track to and from the villa. Overall, our time at Villa Idyllica was really pleasant, and we found it to be a peaceful getaway with beautiful surroundings.

We had a delightful stay at Mimmo and Francesca’s place. The house was super clean which was appreciated. There was everything you need. It’s rustic and the views are lovely. the location on the hill is great for the breeze and it feels nice to have the privacy. The drive to the house is a single track but gets easier the more you do it! The garden area and pool were just lovely and the horses too who became our friends. They love being fed oranges from the tree!

Een prachtig huis, gesplitst in een groter en kleiner huis, gelegen op een fantastische locatie. Gewoon buiten zitten en om he heen kijken was al een feest. Je kunt makkelijk in een half uur aan zee zijn of in een van de vele steden en dorpen in de omgeving. Lopend is het riviertje Alcantara bereikbaar(hoewel we zelf de eerste 3 minuten per auto gingen omdat langs de weg lopen niet leuk is), waar je heerlijk in het water je kunt vermaken. Natuurlijk waren de paarden voor de kinderen geweldig om zich mee te vermaken. Het enige minpuntje was het geregeld uitvallende internet maar ach, waar heb je internet voor nodig als je daar bent?

Très bon accueil. Lieu isolé donc très bien. Ne pas avoir peur des routes un peu difficiles d’accès mais même avec une petite voiture aucun souci. Très belle vue. A savoir : il n’y a pas de lave vaisselle donc le côté vacances perd de son charme quand on est nombreux !

Beautiful beautiful house with sea and mountain views not far from Taormina and beaches. Very friendly and welcoming host Mimmo. Excellent mattresses. The road to the cottage is easy to do, also with a normal car. The pool is on the small side but that is no objection for us. Highly recommended, and really value for money.

Siamo stati accolti in questo fantastico posto in modo eccellente. Nella bellissima e tipica villa siciliana non manca proprio nulla, c'è tutto. Siamo stati molto bene. Molto bella anche l'esperienza con i cavalli e i gatti che tutti i giorni aspettavano una carezza e un'attenzione. Per noi è stato come stare in un country house con il mare a pochi minuti e Taormina vicinissima. È sicuramente un'esperienza da rifare.

We loved our recent 2 week stay. An amazing relaxing place with fabulous views. The house was great and the garden also with shaded areas and a welcome pool- Mimmo and Francesca are lovely and responded immediately to small queries- we loved the horses who appeared when we arrived back from a days trip. The surrounding villages are worth exploring , lovely bakeries, butchers, fish shops, and some great restaurants. The Paradise restaurant just up the road was a favourite. Many thanks, a fabulous holiday.

We had a wonderful family stay at this beautiful house and great location. The house and grounds (pool, garden, horses…) are very peaceful and comfortable. Only thing to note is that the house need some minor updates especially in bathroom. Other than that - PERFECT! Would love to come back again. Mimo, who takes care of the property was very kind and helpful (even with little to no English…)

The villa is a beautiful rustic farm house with two living spaces. There were two cats and three horses who visited us daily. Some features might not be for everyone (remote location, rough dirt road, the bugs that come with a rustic situation and farm animals, simple kitchens with propane stoves), but it was perfect for our group (2 couples). We loved waking up to a visit from the horses, and giving the cats treats at night. We visited many of the surrounding towns, vineyards surrounding Etna, the incredible river gorge, the street markets, etc. The homeowner, Mimmo, was helpful and kind. We would visit again if the opportunity arises.

A private, secluded charming property amidst the beautiful countryside of Sicily. With views of the mountains, the sea and the Alcantara valley in a working countryside setting.

Esperienza magnifica. Il Sig. Mimmo è sempre stato super disponibile e gentile con noi. La casa e la Piscina sono fantastiche, per non parlare poi del panorama mozza fiato e della sensazione di pace che ti trasmette il posto in generale. Unici due punti da tenere in considerazione: le finestre delle camere non hanno le zanzariere e la strada per arrivare alla casa è una stradina sterrata di campagna non comodissima. Nessuno di questi due punti però è stato un problema per noi in questa settimana fantastica che abbiamo passato in questa location stupenda! :)

Magnifique adresse pour cet havre de paix ! La maison est typique sicilienne avec ses chevaux à proximité de la propriété ! Le fait qu elle soit retirée et difficile d accès fait tout son charme!

Dépaysement total…je reviendrai c est sûr Un grand merci à Mimmo Linda

My family and I spent a wonderful time at Giulia's house. It is the perfect place to relax and especially to enjoy holidays with kids. The house is not only beautiful but also spacious and perfectly equipped. We enjoyed breakfast at the pool with fresh orange or lemon juice from the trees in the garden, loved to watch the horses and the stunning view over the valley and anjoyed nice BBQs including night swims. We had such a great time that we just loved to stay there all day but the house is also quite close to the Alcantara river and not too far from the beaches so there are a couple of things to do near by. I can totally recommend this place and would love to come back another time!

un lieux à l'image de l'hôte, magique ! perdu dans la nature, mais proche de tout, des chevaux qui viennent dire bonjour, à quelques minutes des gorges d'Alcantara, et proche d'un restaurant à ne manquer sous aucun prétexte : le Paradiso. tout est fait pour rendre votre séjour le plus agréable possible. et cerise sur le gâteau, un oranger et un citronnier qui permettent de s'offrir un plein de vitamines tous les jours. l'etna est à moins d'une heure, et la visite vaut le détour en résumé j'ai trouvé mon havre de paix au sud est de la sicile

Giulia & Mimmo’s place is lovely and secluded, set into the hillside of the Alcantara valley. Blessed with plenty of space, a pool and two sweet horses, the property is a great place to chill for a week and only 20 mins from Taormina and 40 mins from the Etna hike. Bear in mind that the property requires a drive down a steep dirt track for access so a small, mobile car is recommended! Great stay!

An idyllic and thoroughly relaxing place to stay. The villa is beautiful and rustic with stunning views, a shady terrace and welcome swimming pool. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly need, but if you don’t fancy cooking, the ‘Paradise’ restaurant up the road is great. The house is surrounded by fruit and olive trees - we enjoyed freshly squeezed orange juice on several mornings - and although the drive to the property from the main road is a bit steep and rough in places, the pay-off is that the house feels very private, with the closest neighbours on the other side of a field (and facing away from the house, so you’re not at all overlooked). Mimmo, the key-holder, was friendly and welcoming, very helpful in meeting us much later than expected after our flight was delayed, and came by twice to clean the pool and check everything was ok. A fantastic place to stay for a thoroughly relaxing getaway!
