Unforgettable family trip!

The villa provided a fantastic homebase for my family during our week vacation. Everyone having their own room and bathroom was wonderful and the pool, pergola and lawn space was great for family gathering, games and enjoyment. Meals, cleaning services and air conditioning all are additional costs which is important to note, but the team at the villa was very helpful in responding to needs and resolving any issues. Grazie Mille!

The Villa de Principe

The villa and it's surroundings were so much more than I expected. The staff was extremely attentive to every whim. Dining was fantastic. Proximity to neighboring towns was very convenient. I would recommend this villa to all. The staff makes you feel like family. I want to go back!

A Magical Week in Sicily – Perfect Home for a Large Family We just returned from an unforgettable week at this stunning VRBO home in Sicily, where our family of 14 had the most incredible stay. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the beauty and character of the property. The house is full of charm and well equipped with everything we needed. It’s spacious, comfortable, and clearly loved. The grounds are absolutely beautiful—lush gardens, open spaces for kids to play, two pools, cozy outdoor sitting areas, and lovely views of Mt Etna that made it a joy just to relax at home between excursions. The location is perfect—convenient to beaches, and historic towns, but still peaceful and private. The owner, Gabriele, was warm and welcoming, and Mathilde, who manages the property, was always available, responsive, and incredibly helpful whenever we had a question or needed assistance. Her local tips and kind attention made us feel completely at home. We also highly recommend arranging to have dinner prepared at the house—the food was absolutely delicious, and served in the most beautiful setting. It was one of the highlights of our stay and a perfect way to enjoy Sicilian hospitality without leaving home. This is a home with heart and history, and it gave us the ideal base to explore Sicily while also enjoying precious family time together. Highly recommend!

Beautiful property in a very convenient location!

Our group of 19 had a wonderful stay! The property is exactly as described with beautiful scenic and Mt. Etna views. It is very conveniently located, close to Taromina and several beautiful beach towns. We rented cars at the Catania airport and were able to travel around the area with ease. The Villa was a perfect home base and the pool and outdoor dining areas were a perfect way to end to our busy days. Monica was wonderful and very easy to communicate with, she was always available to help with anything we needed. Maria and Antionetta cooked delicious Sicilian dinners for us a few nights of our week long stay and were a pleasure! We had a wonderful week!

Beth's review

Villa was nice, not elegant. Placement of kitchen not in main house. We had difficulty gaining entrance because Mathilde did not realize we had arrived. We had some initial problems with the aur conditioning in some rooms but it was straightened out. Extra cost for air conditioning was shocking given the. The large pool.and surrounding areas were spectacular. We loved the lemons and made lemonade. We never saw an outdoor grill but we managed with the kitchen. My family had a great time. Thank you Gabriele and Mathilda. cost of villa.

Wonderful home base to explore Sicily

We spent a week at Le Case del Principe with a group of 25. It was a wonderful home base for us and allowed us to do day trips to other cities around Sicily. The facilities are comfortable and the land is beautiful. Some days, we just spent at the villa enjoying the pool. The outdoor dining area was my favorite part of the entire place, and it's also where we spent the most amount of time as a group. My only complaint was about the quality of the kitchens - the appliances were not in great condition (broken dishwasher, stove didn't properly match temperature it was set to, fridge was on a switch and accidentally got turned off one day, etc). This, however, was a minor inconvenience, and we loved our stay overall. I'd certainly recommend going here, especially with a large group.

Great Property for a Large Gatheting

We have stayed at this villa for one week in October sharing it with 25 people - all friends and family. It is a very unique property: the setting is farm-like (in the middle of a lemon tree grove) and the grounds are well-maintained and very spacious with two pool areas and a garden terrace for meals. But for us, mostly, it was the people working at the villa. We have purchased additional services (breakfasts, dinners and daily cleaning). Chetina, Mathilde, Antoinette, Bastiano, Maria and Rosie were there for us every day and made our stay truly special. Gabriele - the owner - stopped by as well to say hello and check on things. Just a couple of suggestions: consider adding memory foam mattress toppings to make beds less firm and, perhaps, add some softer pillows to make sleeping a bit more comfortable. These are not critiques, just some thoughts to make it even more enjoyable (especially, for older guests). Overall, this Villa is an absolute gem for a big family/friends gathering and we recommend it without any reservations.

Beautiful Relaxing Villa

Our group was 15 people including 3 small kids. We each had our own bedrooms and bathrooms. Each area had a living room. But the highlight of this property was the covered patio, with a table large enough for all of us to dine together. There is also a quite a bit of nice patio furniture to enjoy. All of this beautiful area is surrounded by vineyards, lemon, orange and grapefruit trees. We were very close to Taormina, and the beach, but you could just stay at the villa and be perfectly content. Monica put together our trips to Mt. Etna, the Gambino Vineyard, and the Godfather tour. They were all fabulous, with our own van, and the same driver each day. Maria cooked for us at least three night, and I highly recommend this at least once. She is quite an accomplished chef and we enjoyed her meals more than local restaurants. The location was prime, not far from the Catania airport, Taormina, Castelmola, the beach and several beautiful cities. The owner Principe Gabriele, Monika, Maria, and Antoinette (don't know if I got that right) really did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable. If you decide to stay here please go with their ideas on what to see and do in the area, but schedule some downtime to just enjoy the property. One thing I forgot to mention but is very important to me is that the property is very clean.

Beautiful house

We enjoyed our stay very much including two amazing dinners with delicious local food! The property offers enough space for large groups and the dinner/table setting under the pergola with view of the Etna is simply amazing. The small cottages were perfect for little families with kids to have some privacy and not disturb the ones without kids in the main house. Gabriele and Mathilde were super helpful with all questions beforehand and during our stay! We'd love to stay there again!

Great stay at the feet of Etna! :-)

We - a 18 people development team of an Austrian-based company - spent five wonderful days at "Le Case Del Principe". The property offered everything that was valuable for us: Comfortable and clean rooms, a lot of space to relax within the property, a romantic place for "al fresco dining" where all of us could be seated, a clean and refreshing pool, ... A highlight was as well the caring and kind support by Monica and her team - the room service was great, the food was more than delicious and thanks to their warm nature we often had a good laugh! The property is located in a quiet place on the beautiful countryside. Etna is not far away and dominates the astonishing view. The location is great as a base for trips like seeing Etna, visiting Taormina, relaxing at the beautiful beaches, ... but it's recommended to travel by car. Thank you to Gabriele for the uncomplicated communication and the willingness to cater an offer to suit our needs! We hope to come back soon.

Great Property

Our family of 14 adults and children spent a beautiful vacation at Le Case del Principe. Upon arrival, Monica greeted us; she was extremely warm and friendly. She was also availabe during the entire week and was very anxious to help when we needed something. Maria prepared a delicious dinner and was also availabe for the entire week. We enjoyed eating dinner every evening in the gazebo, while looking at the beautiful views of Mt. Etna and surrounding areas. The children loved to have the space to do gymnastics and run freely. The pool was beautiful and we spent quite a bit of time there. We would certainly recommend vacationing at Le Case del Principe. M. G.

The perfect base for exploring...east of Sicily

Nestled among grape vines and fruit trees, Le Case del Principe is a relaxing oasis just below Taormina, near the sea with soaring views of Etna. The rooms are immaculate, lovingly decorated in the local style and the food is out of this world. It's one of those places where time seems to stand still and let's you reconnect with yourself and nature.

Delightful holiday stay

Our group of twenty adults spent a wonderful two weeks at Le Case del Principe. We rented cars at the airport in Catania and used the villa as a base for exploring Etna and the vicinity. The driving was challenging at times, with twisting roads to hill towns, but let us see many off the beaten path spots. The property was even more lovely than pictured, with quiet corners for reading, and shady gathering spots for large group dinners. We rented the entire estate so there was privacy and comfort for all. There was also a bocce court which provided opportunity for lively evening competitions. The grounds were beautifully maintained with lemon trees and colorful flowers surrounding the pool areas. Monica and the other staff members were responsive to all our needs, and the meals prepared for us by Maria and Antoinetta featured fresh local ingredients in traditional Sicilian recipes. Outstanding! We appreciated Monica's help in arranging day trips to Agrigento and Piazza Armerina, a fabulous wine tasting at Gambino Vini, and a night out for pizza at Flora. We also enjoyed waking into town for cappuccino and croissants in the mornings. Other day trips included exploring Mt. Etna , Alcantra Gorges, Taormina, Enna, Castiglione , Savoca, and other picturesque spots. Those who love ceramics were particularly satisfied by the shops in Caltagirone. A highlight for us all was a concert by the tenors "IL Volo" in the spectacular setting of the ancient Greek theater in Taormina with Mt. Etna as a backdrop. I would definitely recommend the property to others. We were sad to say farewell to Monica who who became like a family member to our group.

Extraordinary villa in Taormina!!!

We were a party of 8 Anericans looking for a place in Sicily to serve as a base for our exploration of the area and celebration of our son's wedding. Our son chose the perfect place in booking Le Case del Príncipe. This villa has six lovely ensuite bedrooms, a huge family kitchen and ample indoor and outdoor common areas, along with a large pool and deck area. We were greeted by the wonderful Monica, guest manager of the property. We were made to feel right at home and Monica was so helpful with a huge generosity of spirit. The house cook was Mary. We had a specially prepared traditional Sicilian dinner one evening that was a culinary masterpiece. The Prince chose wisely in having these wonderful women representing him and his glorious Villa. Our stay at Le Case del Príncipe was the single most memorable vacation of my life. Our thanks to the Prince, Monica and Mary. You will truly fall in love with this beautiful place with the magnificent Mt. Etna in the background

So grateful we found this place!

I recently got married in Taormina and we stayed here with a couple family members and friends. The property is gorgeous and well kept in a beautiful setting. Monica and Maria were amazing! They have an option to add a home cooked meal and it is definitely worth it. Maria is an incredible cook. Monica was so helpful, patient and attentive. One of our guests accidentally dislocated his shoulder and she was right there to help us get the medical attention he needed. I cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you all so much for a beautiful and unforgettable stay!

Amazing Experience

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Le Case Del Principe. My Wife and I traveled from the US and rented the Estate house for Friends & Family & Ourselves for the first week of July in 2016. We spoke with Prince Gabrielle over the phone to arrange the rental and found him to be very helpful. We were married in Taormina and the villa was a great base for all of our activities. There were 8 of us. The estate was beautiful, with views of Etna, the mountains, vineyards & orchards. Upon arrival we were greeted by Monica, the caretaker of the Villa. Monica gave us a tour of the property, told us what there was in the area and even gave us a ride to the market. She was amazingly helpful. We had a bit of a medical emergency when one of my friends dislocated his shoulder. Monica came to our rescue, arranged an ambulance and stayed with my friend for hours at the hospital translating for him. She was truly amazing and went above and beyond and we were extremely grateful for her help. The house had a Kitchen where we cooked dinner almost every night, we got fresh meats & produce from the market right up the road from the property. When we weren’t touring the area or getting married we spent our down time relaxing around the pool & wandering around the property. We found the rooms & property to be comfortable & clean. The town of Trapitello was a short walk from the Villa. Every morning I would walk into town & get fresh pastries & cappuccinos for the house from the local bar. The town had anything we needed and the walk had some really neat views of some of the other vineyards & orchards in the area. The night before we were married we had Maria, the house chef, cook dinner for us. Maria’s meal was delicious with fresh local Sicilian dishes & wine that seemed to never end. I was even able to get her Pistachio Pasta Recipe. Maria was very sweet & accommodating, reminding me much of my own Sicilian Grandmother. The meal was a real traditional Italian experience. By the way her home made Limoncello was also amazing. Our stay at the Villa was one of the best and most memorable trips of my life. Everyone in our party had a great time. We look forward to coming back one day and staying at Le Case Del Principe well worth the price.

A Spectacular Vacation

Our group cannot say enough great things about this estate. Mathew grounds, pools, villa's and main house were better than we could have hoped. Renting something on line, so far away, and for so many people is quite unnerving. Arrival was wonderful and the enjoyment continued. The owner, manager, and staff could not do enough for us. We had functions at the site which only enhanced our stay. The time, effort and cooking were just spectacular. The staff went the extra mile and made our dinners and other functions so memorable.

Yoga and Tea

An amazing stay with amazing hosts. My group of 21 and I stayed on this property for 1 week. The property is so charming and clean and the villas quaint and lovely. The views are indescribable. We did yoga every morning poolside and meditations on the lawn facing Mount Etna. We had a private chef that cooked our breakfast, 1 bbq lunch in the lemon groves and 3 amazing dinners facing Mount Etna. I highly recommend this property to large groups.
