Villa Barbara A show every dawn

Overall this property is amazing. Stunning views, fantastic terrace, great pool area and location is 10/10. Its lovely and quiet but 10 mins walk takes you to the bussle of the town with a nice beach and lots of bars, resteraunts and shops. The owners are lovely with lots of local knowledge and tips. Just a couple of things that could be improved. The air conditioning is very poor. There is one unit at the front door which doesnt work that well. The rest are portable fans. This made for quite a few nights of very uncomfortable sleep. The apartment itself is lovely but could do with some fixes. For example not all the plug points work, there are some basic kitchen utensils missings and not all the rings on the hob work. If it wasnt for the air conditioning this would be 5* plus in my opinion. Truly amazing location and views. Quick note. The family have very friendly and quiet dogs. Didn't bother us at all but good to know.

A spacious and well appointed apartment within the Villa. The views from the terrace are spectacular and overlook the Giardini Naxos bay all the way to the Cape of Taormina. From the terrace of the main bedroom there is also a wonderful view of Mt Etna in all her glory. The apartment itself is well equipped and has pretty much everything you need (fridge freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, towels, hairdryer, bbq crockery Ian’s cutlery) and there wasn’t anything that we needed to ask for. The pool area is a sun trap and very spacious with a very good size swimming pool and outdoor shower (hot and cold) area. There are plenty of sun loungers and parasols for those with children’s and/or wishing to keep out of the hot sun. The grounds and gardens of the Villa are pretty, clean and well kept. The only caution that I would add is that the Villa is located in an elevated position and, although only a short walk from the centre and beach (5 minutes), the walk back to the Villa is up hill which is steep on some places so may not be suitable for the elderly. In summary, a great Villa in a great location with great facilities…..and Salvatore and Titti were warm, welcoming and excellent hosts.

When you rent this apartment, not only do you have one of the best location in Naxos Gardini but you are taken care of exceptionally by the family who owns the estate. Will come back anytime!

Wir haben uns in der Villa Barbara vom ersten Moment an wie zu Hause wohlgefühlt. Peter und Titti haben uns sehr herzlich in Empfang genommen. Das Apartment mit zwei Schlafzimmern war wunderbar gemütlich eingerichtet und von der Terasse aus hatte man einen traumhaften Blick zum Meer, besser geht nicht !!! Der wunderschön angelegte Garten und Poolbereich war eine Augenweide und bestens gepflegt. Unsere Kinder spielten täglich Tennis auf dem Platz gleich nebenan, und täglich holte sich die Hundedame Lucie einige Streicheleinheiten ab. Der Weg hinunter in den Ort mit etlichen Restaurants und Lädchen stellte für uns kein Problem dar, wir genossen es, an den Zitronenbäumen vorbeizuschlendern. Wunderbar war auch unser ganz privater Bootsausflug mit Nicolas und das anschließende von ihm gekochte Nudelgericht , das wir auf unserer Terrasse genießen konnten. Vielen Dank für diese ganz traumhafte Ferienwoche in einem ganz besonderen Haus !!! Liebe Grüße von uns allen!
