Wonderful stay in Milo
My family and friends had a perfect week in this superb house. If you're looking for a place out of time, with splendid early 20th-century Italian architecture in a huge estate planted with chestnut and other fruit trees, this is the house for you. It's a great place to live. We were there during a heatwave, and enjoyed the coolness in the evenings (and the pool during the day). And our host was absolutely adorable, responding immediately and in great detail to all our questions and requests about the area. Just perfect!

Beautiful Villa, high recommend
We enjoyed our stay at the Villa, amazing views and so peaceful. There is something for everyone, my girls played in the gigantic pool and played a few games of ping pong while I read a book in a hammock under the trees! The villa itself is spacious and spotless! The rooms are large with comfy beds and authentic with beautiful Sicilian tiles and furniture. You do need to hire a car to explore the area such as Mt Etna, Taormina and Syracuse. Cristina, the owner was always at hand to answer any queries. I would highly recommend this villa and we look forward to coming back again!

Séjour réussi dans une villa parfaite
Nous avons passé une semaine dans cette villa. La villa est très grande et parfaite pour y passer des vacances. La villa est très bien équipée ; Aussi bien sur le plan divertissement (piscine, ping pong) que sur le plan pratique (barbecue, grandes tables et lave vaisselle). Elle dispose également d’un atout géographique; Adossée à l’Etna (30 minutes de voiture), nous avons eu la chance de pouvoir observer une mini éruption. De l’autre côté, la maison offre une vue spectaculaire sur la côte. La propriétaire nous a accueilli de façon très chaleureuse et s’est montrée disponible tout au long de la semaine. Je recommande Vivement la villa Milo !

About the host

Hosted by Cristina Morabito

Host profile image
We are two sisters, Cristina and Giovanna, we grew up in nature, we love and respect it; It has been a few years we improve this family property, trying to enhance its beauty and hospitality.

Why they chose this property

Our Family purchased the Villa, and the field that surrounds it, over 100 years ago,... we decided to call it "Don Michelino Etna House" in honor of great-grandfather Michele who rebuilt the main body in 1932.
We have always considered this magical place; when we were young, we experienced a great number of games and adventures; this place transmits us a serenity and joy of life.
Surrounded by nature and far away from the noise, a large flowered garden rings the building.
We would like our guests to live the unique experience of a typical Sicilian house, characterized by its decorated concrete floors and stylish furnishings.... which make each room precious.

What makes this property unique

Don Michelino Etna House is a place where you immediately feel comfortable; it is a house full of memories that make it unique.
A place where a child can experience magical adventures.
The villa is surrounded by centuries-old chestnut trees and a hazel grove, various fruit trees and a small vineyard.
