Reviews for Villa Rica
Review 1:Excellent hosts Francesco and William made us feel extremely welcome and were very accommodating with regards to meals, refreshments and our general stay. Villa Rica is set in beautiful countryside with stunning views of the Aeolian Isles. Very good value for money, we would highly recommend Villa Rica to others.
Review 2:As it was already chilly, the room was rather cold. They could at least had put the heating on before our arrival. The shower wasn't great either.
Review 3:The location is beautiful, splendid views untill the islands and a nice domain. We were welcomed in a very friendly way. Although it was outside the season the girl did everything she could to help us.
Review 4:Pool was not open having been closed since 1st October although it was extremely hot and we would have enjoyed using it.
Review 5:Fantastic views. Superb meals each evening of our 3 days there with local wine and real italian cooking using their own products. Lovely very friendly people who made you feel very welcome. They were very helpful booking trip to the islands. Beautiful surrounds to the villa. We found the villa very easily following the brown signs when coming off the motorway. If you want to try somewhere a little different which will leave you with lasting memories, then this is the place for you.

Review 16:The view of the aeolian islands from the hillside setting and the excellent quality and value four course evening meal. The east to see direction signs from the autostrada - very rare in Siciliy! The help in getting a wonderful trip to Panarea and Stromboli ....a decent pool and juicy oranges fresh from the trees.
Review 17:Absolutely beautiful setting and the excellent service and attention to detail made our short stay perfect. We recommend Villa Rica to anyone who wants to experience the true Sicilian hospitality.
Review 18:During our stay, wi-fi was not available in our rooms, but it was available in an area near the office. There was no hot water on the morning of our departure.
Review 19:We loved the view of the Sea and the Aeolian Islands from our window. We enjoyed the surrounding orchards and some of us took lovely walks into the hills along farm roads. We were served two very good dinners, in addition to our breakfasts. Our host and the staff was friendly and helpful, telling us about the history of the land and its uses, and showing off the olive and wine presses. Access to the property was via uphill switchbacks, and was challenging in our big van, but the surroundings upon arrival were worth it.
Review 20:Villa Rica is perfect if you want to relax between orange and lemon trees and to enjoy good italien food (organic), AND/OR to make day trips in north-east sicily. We took several cruises into the country side and discovered small picturesque sicilian villages that line up to mountain etna. Villa Rica offers a terrific view to the aeolian islands. The restaurant is located in the former wine and oil production hall. Villa Rica itself has a lot of history to offer. The host Alfredo is extraodinary friendly and helpful. And so is the rest of the team! We extended our trip for 4 nights (originally, we planned to stay for one night only!) and then we almost never left...! See you again soon, Villa Rica!

Review 22:Restaurant was a bit overpriced, but the food was excellent.
Review 23:Alfredo met us at our car and helped with our luggage. Beautiful place, lovely view from our balcony.
Review 24:The owner and staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. They both suggested and organised our trips to the Isole Eolie and Tyndaris. The villa, which is on a hillside and surrounded by lemon and orange trees has been exquisitely renovated. There are fabulous views of the islands from the terraces and bedrooms. The food is home cooked and delicious. Everything about Villa Rica is excellent. We loved our stay there.
Review 25:No wifi in the rooms.
