The backyard has gorgeous views. The rooms were spacious,clean.warm and inviting, Both upstairs and down with updated furnishings. There was a lovely kitchen with a very large table.... perfect for family meals. We found the facilities secure and safe with a locking gate.
We were especially pleased with terrific views from balconies on both sides of villa. Simply put, we could not have had better a better place to stay for our family reunion. Thank you so much and see you on our next visit.

the Villa Giuliana is one of the few places that I've been to that totally lives up to its advertising. The Grecos have created a warm welcoming environment in a picturesque setting. There are 2 patios where a person can read or just sunbathe; one off the master bedroom, & one off the other upstairs bedroom. There is also a patio, just off the Kitchen, where we gathered to chat, dine, or just to enjoy the view of Mt Etna to the west, or the sea to the east. The villa is isolated enough for resting & relaxing, & yet it is centrally located on the north coast of Sicily. We (3 couples ranging in age from mid 20s through late 60s) used it as a base of operations for seeing sites all over the island. In short we can't say enough good things about the villa & its warm & welcoming host & hostess.

Verified Homeowner
Why is Lupain Holiday Rentals the only holiday rental company to verify the ownership of holiday accommodation? Research has shown that not all advertisers are genuine. There have been cases where people have booked holiday accommodation only to find out it does not exist.
This sort of ‘scam’ is hard to comprehend but these days fraudsters are coming up with ever more imaginative ways of obtaining money by deception from innocent people like you. We do not want holidaymakers who book with us to fall victim to this type of scheme. Money is mostly hard earned we know, so taking a holiday is usually a major expense. In addition, we do not want you to remember us for a shattered dream.
Therefore, in order to protect you we have introduced our Owner Verification Scheme. We ask all holiday home advertisers to submit proof that they own the property they are advertising. Only when we are satisfied that an advertiser and their property is genuine do we add our Green Shield to their property advert. Apart from being a deterrent, it also encourages advertisers to make sure they verify their property, giving you peace of mind when you make your booking.
If you want to make a booking look for the Green Shield on the top right of the property advert, if you do not see our Green Shield it may mean we have not yet completed the verification process. We normally complete this process within a few days if no verification is forthcoming the advert is removed.
We take this Owner Verification Scheme very seriously for your protection. If you have any doubts about the validity of an advert or misrepresentation please contact us with your concerns.
Please note, Lupain Holiday Rentals does not verify the advertisement content placed on this website by property owners, nor do we offer any guarantee as to the correctness of the advertising information placed on this website by third parties.
