top end villa
We finally arrived at our destination after having to contact Angela the owner for some better instructions as the Sat Nav was unable to find the villa. We were welcomed by Massimo who showed us the basics. He then showed us kindly to the supermarket. You will need a car and stock up on supplies as the supermarket is a few kilometres away! The villa is stunning however does get extremely hot so keep shutters down. Use the aircom sparingly to reduce the electric cost also the units in the bedrooms are quite noisy.
Unfortunately for us Etna decided to erupt so in the morning we woke up to a thick covering of ash all over the villa complex,patio,loungers etc and in and on the pool area. Unbeknown to us we were obviously expected to clean the outside complex along with the pool.(I don't think this is normal practice) As when we contacted Angela she told us Massimo was away . She told us we rented the villa she gave us instructions on how to clean the pool which was unusable with the amount of ash in it. This took hours to do. So be prepared to take care of the pool for your stay. If this is going to be the case going forward , please could this be stated in the itinerary.
Massimo came the morning we left to give us the cost for the electric use.
