Avis Villa surrounded by vineyards and amazing views to enjoy the best out of Sicily

The physical location of the villa was GORGEOUS, but the local villages were somewhat rundown and deserted. The villa itself was very rundown especially compared to the photos on the listing. Nicer furniture and decorations had been replaced hedges and lawn unkept, and refrigerator door was missing.

Beautiful property in a tranquil and serene surroundings. The approach to the property is rough unless you have a four wheel drive.

This property is ideal for a family. It is vehicle dependant since it is in the countryside. Pool was a great help for the day time Italian heat. Cool evening breezes make sleeping comfortable.

My wife and I spent three wonderful weeks with family and friends at the bucolic Carranco Estate. We rented the four-bedroom Villa Baroni and the two-bedroom guesthouse, Villa Nocellara, surrounded by vineyards interspersed with olive trees, and commanding spectacular views of Mount Etna and the rugged countryside of northeastern Sicily. It was a perfect location for visits to the plentiful wineries nearby, and for half-day or all-day excursions to many of Sicily's leading historical and archaeological sites. We were pleased by the Carranco Estate's gracious and timely services, which included almost daily visits by a company representative who took care of any and all issues that arose in a prompt and friendly fashion, and also offered advice about local restaurants, stores, and attractions that only a local could provide. Thank you, Danilo Zullo! We may return to the Carranco Estate for another visit someday, and highly recommend it to others who seek a peak experience in the beautiful countryside of Sicily's leading wine-making region.

Lovely large house, nice rooms with beautiful bathrooms, very tastefully decorated. The villa manager gave us a warm welcome and informed us proactively about nice things to do in villages nearby. In the beautiful garden was a fine pool and phenomenal views ... in all directions! Mount Etna, in the distance the village of Castiglione and surrounded by vineyards.
