Our only negative was that our room wasn’t cleaned the whole stay, no refresh of bedding or towels. We had to ask to change the towels 5 days in and had to ask a couple of times for toilet roll. It’s was fine when asking and we kept up general cleanliness ourselves but would have been nice to have. The lack of public transport/ taxis was frustrating but we had seen prior that car hire was recommended.

The whole villa had a really nice atmosphere. We loved the swimming pool. A perfect size to keep eyes on young children. We loved the surroundings with the different fruit trees and the hammock. The location was nice and quiet but close to the beach, local shops, cafe and a short walk to restaurants. Great for exploring other nearby towns too.

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at Villa Galati. Our apartment was beautifully clean and tidy on arrival, comfortable, well equipped, and, being air conditioned, was cool when we needed to escape the midday sun! Despite a late arrival, we were given an informative welcome and tour of our accommodation as well as important info about the pool, etc! We particularly loved our balcony overlooking the pool and affording superb views of Mount Etna. The pool and grounds were exceptionally clean and well presented. Our request to stay after the agreed checkout time was quickly agreed upon, allowing us to make the most of our last day before returning to the airport. Queries sent before our arrival were swiftly answered. Thank you, we would happily recommend Villa Galati and would love a return visit!

We stayed here 5 days, but the room service never came in that period. Toilet paper ran out and we had to buy it ourselves.

At reality it is better than in the pictures. Very clean rooms and beautiful garden. Pool is the best.

I would suggest to add main items in the kitchen, sugar, salt, peppers, etc.. Iron would be great as well.

Really nice villa with beautiful pool. Staff been really welcoming and helpfull.

Walls are quite thin, so you might hear your neighbors pretty well

Very clean, beautiful gardens and very well maintained territory overall; big clean swimming pool; Amazing view on Etna!

Stayed in May 2024

Nothing. Although we did not have perfect weather, we did some nice trips, e.g. to Taormina.

Spotless apartment, nicely refurbished with new furniture. Great, clean, large pool. The apartment is very close to the beach. And of course, the breathtaking Etna view from our large terrace. The garden is very nice with olive and lemon trees. The kitchen was nicely equipped with everything we needed for home cooking. We were allowed to pick some lemons from the trees, which was very nice, the kids loved it, and the fruit was delicious. We enjoyed our stay very much and we would gladly come again.

Nothing - the accommodation was very good. You do need wheels to get about although a pleasant cafe near by, just a short walk and helpful folk in the local shop.

The large terrace/balcony on the first floor and the pool. All so clean and well cared for. The mature olive trees and palm trees around the pool provides perfect mottled shade when needed during the day. Imaclately clean. Just right

Mascali is a good base to explore the eastern part of Sicily. The town has a tremendous amount of potential, which could easily be resolved if fly tipping and littering would not be prevalent in the region. This lets down Mascali, which is otherwise populated by very friendly and hospitable residents.

Great location to visit Etna and Taormina. Apartments are in a gated community with lots of parking. Super pool area and clean well kept garden and surroundings with many different types of fruit trees. Apartment was spacious, with a large terrace area and although not brand new was in good condition and nicely furnished/equiped. Nice coffee shop/gelateria and small grocery store are close by. Villa Galati is an oasis in Mascali.

Super clean room and terrase with lovely view on Etna. Surrounding of the villa and pool were well maintained and very clean. Bakery and mini market are 4 minutes walk, 5 minutes walk to the beach. There is open beach as well as serviced part with sunbeds and umbrellas to rent. We really enjoyed our stay.

We did not have a shower upstairs

it was to our expectations

Stayed in June 2023

We were disappointed by the dirtiness of the surroundings. The town and the beach are full of garbage. The traffic in the southern part of the island is terrible.

We had a very spacious and clean apartment right next to the beautiful pool. Everything was extremely clean and well maintained. The staff is very friendly and always available. The setting has a great view of the volcano.

Stayed in May 2023

Mattresses and pillows not comfortable, you can hear people talking or walking upstairs.

Good pool, well equipped kitchen, location to the sea

Stayed in October 2022

what was missing at the apartment was lack of coffee/sugar/salt/ oil for cooking.

The host was friendly and available for all information. The villa is well equipped, the pool was superb. a big bonus- free parking, and very close to the sea.

Stayed in October 2022

We have got different appartment at midnight that we have ordered and paid. Everything has been settled the other day.

Good location for the trips to Taormina, Catania, Etna etc. Good access to the sea.

Stayed in October 2022

We found a few local places but you do need a car. No cleaning of rooms or change of towels. Pool is open 9am-7pm - would be nice to have it open slightly later occasionally. The bed and pillows were hard. Any questions asked were met with an unfriendly and grumpy response as if he really didn’t want us staying there. Etna was erupting while we were there so volcanic ash was all over our balcony. Just be aware that this may happen :)

We stayed here for 5 nights and enjoyed the views of the pool and Etna from our large balcony. The pool is lovely surrounded by palm trees and olive trees. Even mangoes grow in the garden! Sufficient facilities to cook etc. Recommend Iceberg bar - 2 mins walk - for great coffee and fresh brioche and gelato. Brezzo Di Mare Pizzeria Fondachello is a 10 mins walk and lovely view over the sea. There is also a mini supermarket with most things you need and good fish shop 2 mins away. The beach is only 2 mins away but is stoney so recommend beach shoes. The sea is beautiful but has a steep slope so not ideal for small children. Good location to visit Taormina and Etna. We used Etna Tours Sicily that was recommended by Villa Galati, which was good.
