Estiva is a beautiful villa, very well appointed and in a great position and location. It was a real treat and we would return. Thank you.

Estiva was very calming and was more of a home than a holiday villa, with the many artworks and fantastic books, which added to its charm. The setting also stood out.

Estiva was really special - full of character and charm, very well-equipped and in a perfect location. It was our first time with The Thinking Traveller, and the whole experience has been excellent.

Estiva is an absolute gem, genuinely the nicest villa we have ever stayed. We loved being there. It's a beautiful mix of art and books, which was comfortable, and it had everything we needed. The highlight was definitely the view of the sea and Mount Etna, and having our own jetty was wonderful. My children loved the paddle boards and kayaks and we went swimming in the sea every morning - we had the whole bay to ourselves. We ordered a hamper for our arrival which was delicious and had a warm welcome from the owner and The Thinking Traveller team. A week out of our busy lives to relax and spend time together, it was the perfect set up to do this. Already planning our return!
