Excellent hotel/BNB! Fantastic staff! Beautiful modern construction and decor! We had a great stay at Villa Rita! The host Vasiliki and her husband went above and beyond to accommodate us during our vacation. The first thing you will notice is the modern design and updated facilities. The beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was an assortment of pastries, fruit, bread, cold cuts, cereal, yogurt, juice and delicious coffee. There are so many activities to participate in- pool, hot tub, sun tanning on the deck, table tennis, tennis courts, or just sit and enjoy the breathtaking view of the Mediterranean! The gated parking gave me peace knowing my vehicle was safe. I would definitely recommend this place to any one that is looking for a hidden modern gem.

Unser Aufenthalt in der Villa Rita war rundum sehr positiv. Die Villa präsentierte sich sehr sauber und modern, was uns direkt gefallen hat. Der Pool war ausreichend groß für entspannte Stunden und die Zimmer waren ebenfalls sehr sauber. Besonders hervorzuheben sind die saubere und moderne Dusche sowie das WC. Die Lage am Hang bietet zwar eine schöne Aussicht, ist aber mit dem Auto gut erreichbar. Wir waren sehr froh über die sicheren Parkplätze, da unser Auto nicht auf der Straße stehen musste. Die gesamte Anlage wirkte sehr gepflegt, hell und sonnig, was eine sehr angenehme Atmosphäre geschaffen hat. Der Kontakt mit dem Gastgeber war sehr gut und freundlich. Wir haben uns jederzeit gut betreut gefühlt. Insgesamt können wir die Villa Rita uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen und würden jederzeit gerne wiederkommen!

Incroyable villa avec une vue juste magnifique autour de celle ci. Nous sommes venus à 3 et nous avons eu une magnifique chambre avec vue sur le volcan depuis le lit. La piscine est magnifique, avec une vue sur la mer et les alentours. Le jardin est a coupé le souffle, les terrasses aussi. Superbe terrain de tennis et le spa est fantastique. Attention que pour l’utilisation du sauna et hammam il faut payer un supplément ! Petit bémol bien que compréhensif en ce qui concerne la fermeture de la piscine à 21h. Nous avons trouvé que les commodités de la villa (parking, sièges de piscines, petit-déjeuner) étaient peut-être un peu insuffisante quand le bâtiment est rempli. Nous avons passé un séjour de 9 nuits fantastiques malgré tout, dans cette villa luxueuse et paradisiaque où vous ne regretterez absolument pas votre expérience Attention à la difficulté d’accès à la Villa, et de la complexité des chemins pour aller visiter les alentours. Facilement 30 min pour 10km vers Catane à cause des autres conducteurs et des routes complexes. Quelques bons restaurants dans la ville d’à côté Nicolosi accessible en 10 minutes, je vous recommande le Punamuri !

We had an exceptional stay at Villa Rita! The host, Vasiliki, and her husband went above and beyond to make our vacation truly memorable. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by the modern design and updated facilities. The comfortable beds ensured a restful night’s sleep. The breakfast buffet was a delightful assortment of pastries, fresh fruit, warm bread, cold cuts, cereal, yogurt, juice, and of course, delicious coffee. Villa Rita offers a wide range of activities to suit all interests. Take a dip in the pool, relax in the hot tub, soak up the sun on the deck, challenge yourself to a game of table tennis or tennis on the courts, or simply unwind and enjoy the breathtaking view of the Mediterranean. The gated parking provided peace of mind, knowing that my vehicle was safe and secure. I highly recommend Villa Rita to anyone seeking a hidden gem of a modern vacation destination.
