About this villa rental
Villa Stella is located in the prestigious Baia del Riccio, on the coast between Catania and Siracusa. Kissed by the blue Ionian sea, caressed by the sun of Sicily and protected by the 'giant' Mount Etna, this Bay, enjoys a privileged location on the east coast. Important historical, architectural and naturalistic sites, are very close to Baia del Riccio.
Villa Stella offers its guests unique emotions and offers itself as a dream villa for unforgettable holidays.
The landscape, one of the many strengths of the villa, is typically Sicilian, where Mount Etna, the sea and plants combine to give joy, wonder, color, lights to the guests of 'Stella'.
The tranquility and well being are components of the features of the villa, along with the sweet song of birds and the sound of the waves.
The external environment has a large well kept garden with trees, flowers and plants typical of the Mediterranean, several outdoor areas equipped and covered where to have dinner and a lovely terrace overlooking the sea, with a lovely pool.
The Mediterranean look of the villa, the proximity to the sea, the landscape, the lights of the sun or stars, offer guests a special atmosphere.
Villa Stella, with all the comforts, accommodates up to 14 people. The large interior is set over two floors. The living area comprises: kitchen, a large, comfortable living-room and three bathrooms. The night area comprises: 7 double bedrooms, carefully detailed, of refined taste and furnished in the style of the villa.

Large villa with a stunning view. The sea is only few meters away, requires to walk down the hill. Wonderful experience! You can hear the waves and Etna looks down on you with majestic look.A/C included but you can use only five machines at the same time. If all the bedrooms are in use and need cooling, you must take turns. We used all of them (didn't know the rule) because it was very hot and this caused the fuses to break down and we lost almost all the electricity.Helpful staff, but they didn't speak English. Very friendly Italian couple who were available if needed.The villa itself was huge. Kitchen was tiny, but we managed still quite well.

Villa Stella is not for everyone, but for those who can overlook and/or deal with its quirks and flaws, the location, spaciousness, and above all the pool with a fantastic view offers a relatively reasonable place for a large family to gather. Finding the house the first time is a challenge, so be sure to get the GPS coordinates from Nando, the absentee property manager. The lovely caretakers, Gianni and Francesca, do not speak English but are expert in the use of Google Translate, so with our smattering of Italian we were able to communicate well. Gianni is a handyman and was always willing and ready to help whenever we called him. Francesca is a great cook, and we benefited from that with a wonderful family pasta lunch in the outdoor dining room. One great aspect of the house is the many outdoor gathering places, including a shady patio, dining area, pool deck with shade hut, huge tile patio and outdoor kitchen. Beds are comfortable. The two suites have updated bathrooms with showers, and there are three other full bathrooms and two half baths. The washer works well, but be prepared to hang laundry to dry. The kitchen is small but adequate, with an old fridge, decent range and excellent new dishwasher. The best thing about the house is the view-looking out over the Ionian sea with smoking Etna in the distance is extraordinary. The main issue with the house is poor maintenance- the owners seem content to do the least possible work to keep the house functioning.

Stunning views and outdoor spaces. Indoors was adequate but in significant need for an upgrade and cleaning.
