The 16 Best Things to Do in Sicily
There is no place quite like Sicily. A Mediterranean gem with a rich tapestry of history, culture, and natural wonders, it’s no surprise that it has become one of Italy’s top tourist destinations.
Iuliana was super helpful. We had booked a villa in Lake Garda directly with an owner. We were badly broken into after two days, decided to leave the villa and secured a full refund but then needed to find another villa for 6 people quickly. Within 3 hours Iuliana had come up with three options for us in our preferred area of Lake Maggiore. The villa she found for us was perfect for our needs and everyone involved bent over backward to make sure the villa was ready for our imminent arrival.

As a group of eight friends, we spent a wonderful week at the villa. The views of the sea and the surrounding landscape were absolutely stunning and one of the highlights of our stay.
The villa is in a fairly remote location and can only be reached via a gravel road, but manageable with a normal car. However, this also means that it is exceptionally quiet, with no nearby neighbours.
The drive to the nearest town takes about 20 minutes via narrow, winding mountain roads.
One aspect that some members of our group found uncomfortable was the large number of cameras around the property (only outside, not inside the house). While we understand the need for security, their presence felt quite noticeable and detracted somewhat from the sense of privacy. Especially the camera directly next to the pool.
The kitchen is not particularly well equipped, but it provides everything needed for basic cooking. The kitchen knifes were pretty dull.
All in all, the price is somewhat on the higher side.
