Important historical, architectural and naturalistic sites, are very close to Baia del Riccio.
Villa Stella offers its guests unique emotions and offers itself as a dream villa for unforgettable holidays.
The landscape, one of the many strengths of the villa, is typically Sicilian, where Mount Etna, the sea and plants combine to give joy, wonder, color, lights to the guests of 'Stella'.
The tranquility and well being are components of the features of the villa, along with the sweet song of birds and the sound of the waves.
The external environment has a large well kept garden with trees, flowers and plants typical of the Mediterranean, several outdoor areas equipped and covered where to have dinner and a lovely terrace overlooking the sea, with a lovely pool.
The Mediterranean look of the villa, the proximity to the sea, the landscape, the lights of the sun or stars, offer guests a special atmosphere.

This place is amazing. The beach is a few steps away down the hill You can swim to a secluded rock beach The pool is a refreshing saltwater luxury The house is spacious well furnished The kitchen is amazingly stocked compared to properties we usually rent We cook at home for most of our trip because we like being together and Doing our own thing. The property managers who checked us were kind and helpful and available. You do need to follow the booking instructions in terms of directions and contacting the property managers prior to arrival There is plenty of parking the property managers handle the garbage for you, which is nice in Italy, which has this very complicated garbage sorting system I Would love to come back to this property with friends and family

This house was amazing for our family of six. There was more than enough room for all of us, and the outdoor space was so great we spent most of our time soaking up the sun and view from the beautiful pool and multiple sitting areas. The pictures don't do justice to the gorgeous blue sea and views of Etna. The property owner, Nando, was always quick to respond and extremely helpful when we had trouble finding the house on arrival. The host, Gianni and his wife, were so sweet and accommodating during our visit. We didn't want to leave. If you're coming to Catania, do yourself a favor and stay at this house!

Fabulous view and plenty of room as advertised. Vastly unequal options for bedrooms. Cannot state strongly enough how our stay was negatively affected by an absent UNREACHABLE and uninformative host. No actual address. No information on how to open the gate to the property. No guide to the winding streets within the gated community. No system for checkout - how to leave the house keys and gate opener AFTER using it to exit. I finally had to call VRBO support from a roadside gas station to get any useful assistance. It should be noted that communication is only possible by WhatsApp and then still unresponsive.

The house is old and rather poorly maintained. The outdoor area and swimming pool are lovely by the sea and have a view to Etna. The house is located by itself in a closed area, so you need a car to get around. Driving distance to shopping for food is 20 minutes and there are no restaurants within walking distance of the house. Although the Ionian Sea is directly below, it is not possible to swim there due to the lack of a bathing ladder. The host is very friendly and served us a lovely Sicilian dinner one evening.

We really enjoyed our stay at the villa! The view and garden are amazing, and although the villa is a bit dated, it’s charming and clean. Gianni and Franca did a fantastic job taking care of the house and helping out when needed. I truly recommend the villa to any large family or group!

We spent 3 weeks here in 2023 at the end of September through mid-October and had the best time.The yard and pool are worth everything! The house is well located if you want to hit the road, as we often did, but tricky to find initially (save Esso Costa Saracena in your GPS). Great sandwich shop just down the road and main grocery store 10 min away. Both the owner and the property managers were accessible on WhatsApp and always very helpful, but you'll need your translator app if you don't speak Italian. We miss Sicily and the house every day!
