Perfectly situated across from the beach. The house itself is large, as is the garden and easily fit us. It does suffer from disrepair.

Nice location, many issues, overpriced

There were many issues, some were fixed within the first week, some were not fixed until we left (distroyed BBQ). Sometimes we had to tell the owner twice to fix something (broken bed). Rattling fan in the kitchen (noosy), A/C was working in all rooms. The rooms were big. Ant poison was on the terrace when we arrived (unsafe for small children). Always lock all doors when you leave the premise as the garden and terrace were publicly accessible from the outside. Old and worn furniture, some things were unsafe for small kids. Cutlery was not enough for 2 meals (we were 9 people). The location was great, the lido staff was amesome, the walls of the house inside and outside were freshly renovated prior our stay, new pots were there. Nice toys for the kids were there. No english introduction to the house, key was not working properly (got replacement after 3 days), Wifi was not working but fixed after 3 days, mold in the shower (removed after 3 days), ants in the bathroom and kitchen (dishwasher). Garden wooden furniture was worn and unsafe for small children. Shade in the garden all day. The pool was dirty from the beginning and cleaned once. The tanks and visible pumps dont look nice. The aboveground pool is not made for elderly people as it is really hard for them to get in and out. Partly, the garden was bare earth and crawling todlers get dirty. The bed frames were old and some rattling. We didnt understand the garbage situation (sometimes it was picked up, sometimes not).

Beau cadre de séjour avec bel accueil.

TrĂšs bien accueillis dans la villa : petites attentions, parking Ă  disposition. Vanna est toujours Ă  l’écoute et rĂ©ponds rapidement Ă  toute question. L’accĂšs directe Ă  la mer est trĂšs agrĂ©able. Vue sur l’Etna. Le jardin a Ă©tĂ© notre espace de vie toute la semaine. Les chambres sont grandes. On recommande.

Lovely!

The Villa was excellent for our group of 10. From the grandkids to the grandparents we all enjoyed our vacation. There was plenty of space, comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchens but we would have another umbrella in the BBQ area so that we could enjoy it even in the morning. The staff is great as well.

Thank you for a great holiday

We had a lovely 10 days in your clean, spacious villa. Perfect for a family of two adults and two teenagers looking to relax and explore the beautiful island of Sicily. We loved the 4x4 tour of etna you organised for us and we explored the local towns and villages. Everyone was friendly and helpful and the food good and inexpensive. The Lido, just across the road was very welcoming and a great place to swim though the fantastic villa garden was also well used. Dinner on the roof terrace overlooked by etna was definitely a highlight though. We were well looked after by Chiara and knew that if there was a problem it would be sorted. Initially we had an issue with a swarm of ants but once the cleaners spotted them they responded quickly and by the end of the day the ants had been cleared and we never saw another one in the villa all holiday. Some items in the house were not working but nothing that caused us a problem and when we told Chiara she responded well and I am sure they were replaced as soon as possible. Great villa, great location, beautiful island. Thank you

house in great location across road from beach and lido. Garden wonderful for a large group.

We were a group of six adults and three children plus a two month old baby, three generations of a family. The location of the property was great, just as advertised. We had a couple of problems which Chiara set about remedying immediately. The airconditioner in the kitchen wasn't working and, being July, it was very hot up there but Chiara organised fans immediately. The house could have benefitted from some maintenance work. We also had an ant problem, which Chiara also promptly set about trying to fix, although not entirely successfully. We really appreciated having a washing machine, an electric kettle and a toaster - none of which we had at other rentals in Sicily. Dishwasher also appreciated. Would really like to give the property a 4.5 rating.

Villa Luna Rossa a Wonderful Place to Stay

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Luna Rossa. Giovanni and his team were very helpful for everything we needed and they ensured we had an amazing stay in Sicily. The villa is minutes away from the beach with access to the Lido Luna Rossa beach resort which was very comfortable/beautiful. The villa is modern with full amenities and has everything you would need for a great beach vacation in Sicily. Also, very quick access to Taormina and Catania. We loved our time here and would definitely go back. Thank-you Giovanni and Team!!!!

Villa correcte et spacieuse, mais quelques défauts

Nous avons passĂ© une semaine Ă  deux familles (3 adultes, 6 enfants) Ă  la villa Luna Rossa. Elle a indĂ©niablement des qualitĂ©s, mais aussi quelques dĂ©fauts. Pour les qualitĂ©s: 1) Elle est trĂšs proche de la plage, il suffit de traverser la route devant la maison, et on a accĂšs Ă  une plage privĂ©e et une petite plage publique. La location de la maison donne accĂšs gratuitement Ă  la plage privĂ©e (parasol, transat), ce qui est bien pratique. La mer est trĂšs belle, c'est une plage de galets agrĂ©able. Mais il y a pas mal de monde. Cela dit, l'ambiance est relax et familiale, et c'est sympathique, on nage avec vue sur l'Etna, c'est agrĂ©able. 2) La rĂ©gion permet de combiner balades en montagne sur l'Etna et plage, activitĂ©s de canyoning, et quelques villes agrĂ©ables, dont Taormina. On ne s'ennuie donc pas en une semaine ! 3) La maison possĂšde un jardin assez sympathique, avec de l'herbe, de l'ombre, une piscine hors-sol dont profitent bien les enfants et les plus grands, un barbecue, une table extĂ©rieure sous les vignes, une cuisine et frigo extĂ©rieurs. 4) la maison est assez spacieuse, avec une belle terrasse sur le toit qui donne vue sur l'Etna et (un peu) sur la mer, mais aussi sur la route. 5) la maison est dans l'ensemble bien Ă©quipĂ©e. Concernant les dĂ©fauts, ou aspects moins agrĂ©ables: 1) la localisation est assez bruyante. Il y a du trafic sur la route, de la musique dans les bars de la plage, un parking Ă  l'arriĂšre de la maison, etc... on a rarement une nuit tranquille, et le week-end est trĂšs bruyant. Difficile de dormir avec les fenĂȘtres ouvertes, et donc il fait chaud (cela dit, il y a la climatisation si nĂ©cessaire). 2) Il y a beaucoup de fourmis dans et autour de la maison: dans les chambres, dans le four, dans le hamac,... difficile de profiter pleinement du jardin. 3) La maison est assez humide, et pas trĂšs adaptĂ©e aux asthmatiques. Le mobilier n'est pas bien entretenu (parasol cassĂ©) 4) Elle est annoncĂ©e pour 15 personnes, mais il y a 4 chambres. En rĂ©alitĂ©, c'est plutĂŽt adaptĂ© Ă  8-10 personnes. La table de la terrasse est adaptĂ©e Ă  6-7 personnes. 5) Bien que plutĂŽt spacieuse, la maison n'est pas trĂšs pratique, avec sa cuisine Ă  l'Ă©tage. Dans l'ensemble nous avons passĂ© une semaine agrĂ©able, mais pour ce prix, je pense qu'il est possible de trouver une maison mieux entretenue et plus calme. NĂ©anmoins, si le bruit et les fourmis ne vous dĂ©rangent pas, et que vous voulez ĂȘtre prĂšs de la mer et de l'Etna, c'est une maison sympathique.

Fabulous villa

We had a great week in this fabulous spacious villa, although to be fair we only went indoors to sleep and to fetch something from the fridge! The garden is perfect for outdoor living and we had great weather for it. There is lots of shade under trees and the pergola when it gets too hot and an open lawn area with sun beds for those wanting to scorch. The little swimming pool was very welcome and we used it a lot for cooling off on the hottest days in the garden. We didn't have children with us, but there is a mini playground in the corner of the garden which youngsters will enjoy. There is an outdoor kitchen and a brick barbecue in the garden which we used a couple of evenings, sitting out in shorts and t-shirts till midnight. The views of Etna from the terrace off the kitchen upstairs are simply stunning. Expect some pops and rumbles and you'll find yourself checking her for changes in colour and quantity of smoke all holiday. Keep the air con on indoors all the time, otherwise you will get ants. They were the only irritation, apart from fireworks that seem to go off at all hours for no apparent reason, and the garden backs onto a car park, which occasionally is a bit noisy if you are quietly reading a book in the shade. Giovanni will arrange for taxis or bicycle hire if, like us, you do not want to hire a car. You are within walking distance of several shops and restaurants, particularly to the north. I would also recommend eating at Le Botti in Riposto overlooking the sea. And you must have a trip to the amphitheatre in Taormina, if only for the views of the coastline - you need to climb to the top where a path runs around the building. I would also recommend a 4x4 trip up Etna if you are fit enough for the walking – my daughters/husband really enjoyed this. Giovanni can arrange if you wish. The Lido opposite the house is great if you are into a grid of sunbeds and line dancing in a bikini (can you tell I am not?!). Good fun I'm sure, with the right crowd. One last thing, between the Lidos the Sicilians should be ASHAMED of the rubbish they leave on the beaches.

Perfect position for a relaxing stay!

We stayed at Villa Luna Rossa for just over a week and it was spectacular! It's perfectly located across the road from the beach and the lidos, which was great for those extra hot days. Giovanni was exceptionally helpful and provided us with a lot of information about Fondachello and the surrounding areas to visit as well as some of his favourite restaurants and cafes. When we arrived he met us at the Villa and was very thorough about how everything worked especially the air conditioning. It was such a luxury to have since the nights were hot! There were eight of us in the Villa and we each stayed extremely comfortably, having our own space was a blessing. Giovanni was very accommodating and if we needed any assistance or clarification on anything we were able to contact him and received an almost immediate response. It was definitely our most peaceful and relaxing week of our holiday by far and I'm so glad we decided to stay at Villa Luna Rossa. We will definitely be recommending this to our friends and families and can't wait to go back!

Bella casa per le vacanze piacevoli

Siamo contenti di avere scelto La villa Luna Rossa per le nostre vacanze. La pianificazione della casa e del giardino Ăš spaziosa e piacevole. E una casa in una posizione ideale: tranquillo, vicino al mare, con una bella vista sull'Etna a due minuti (colla macchina) dei negozi, panifici, gelaterie, mercato del pesce et frutti di stagione... Abbiamo apprezzato l'accoglienza calorosa, disponibile e generosa del proprietario. Consiglieremmo questa villa a tutte le famiglie numerose o a quelli che vogliono passare delle vacanze con gli amici.

Ottime vacanze siciliane

Giovanni e la sua squadra sono stati proprio gentilissimi con noi. L'accoglienza e davvero una tradizione siciliana e si vede arrivando a casa loro. L'Etna ci ha fatto una belle sorpresa con quest'eruzione enorme e incantevole. Anche la neve era a posto.... Grazie mille per questo soggiorno e speriamo di tornare anche d'estate !!

"Staying at Fondachello Villa was excellent. We were 4 adults + 1 baby. The house has many spacious rooms, good kitchen, good shower with hot water, close to the beach with a good view from the balcony. Everyone had their own space. Giovanni took care of anything we needed. They supplied a basket of great fruits, and things they make (tomato sauce, pastries, wine). We stayed at 3 different locations in Sicily, and this one had the best value for our money. Highly recommended."

About the host

Hosted by Giovanni E.

Host profile image
"SunTripSicily" is our territorial tourist service. We rent villas with self-contained cooking and laundry facilities that are ideal for families and groups since 2013. All our villas have the common trait to be a perfect location for unforgettable holidays and we share our love for Sicily with our guests and recommend the best way to discover and experience our Island.
We act as concierges and troubleshooters, ready to be on hand 24/7 from the moment of booking and for the entire duration of the stay, always at the end of the phone and always ready to meet guests' wishes.
The services are handled with care and professionalism by our team that regularly visits our properties, knows our destinations very well and will be expertly placed to answer any of our guests' questions.

Why they chose this property

The Villa is in a perfect position, just in front of the beach and within a few kilometers from the most beautiful places worth a visit in the eastern Sicily. From Fondachello (in the town of Mascali) you can easily get to GIARDINI NAXOS and TAORMINA in less then 15/20min by Car. Catania is reachable in 30min. You can be in the natural park of Mt.Etna in 20min (starting from the house that is on the beach and the thing that you can have both beach and mountain is such small time is awesome). The Villa is also completely independent and our guests always loved it. We start in 2012 renting our Villa trying with a few weeks but then we saw how guests were enthusiastic about the area and the Villa that we choose to rent it during the whole year and also rent some other exclusive property that belong to us.

What makes this property unique

A waterfront villa: the pebbles beach is just crossing the street.
In summer time, from the last week of May to the first week of September, we will be glad to offer you * entry + umbrella + beds * at Lido Luna Rossa' bathhouse located within walking distance, where you can access all services for all the duration of your stay .
The villa is perfect to host large families or big groups of friends (till sixteen people).
The cycle line is just crossing the street along all the waterfront.
