Immerse yourself in an aristocratic Sicilian Villa... Enjoy the view of an expansive citrus nursery, let the 252 days/year Sicilian sun kiss your skin on a large terrace with Etna volcano to your right and the Mediterranean sea to your left, enjoy the shade in the English garden while kids and friends play by the fun private pool and BBQ area, let the hot Jacuzzi bubbles massage your senses, opt to dine typical Italian cuisine in the cozy and spacious traditionally Sicilian furnished home, and explore all of Sicily thanks to the strategic 10 min distance from highway. Whatever your desires, the Villa is the best exclusive space for your unforgettable holiday with your friends and family!

EXTRA INFORMATION ABOUT THE VILLA: This exclusive former aristocratic property is a recently renovated Villa that hosted a winery. Nowadays, the property is immersed in a 10,000 square-metre citrus grove and plant nursery. Catania has the most hours of sunshine of ANY city in Europe, making our Villa an ideal destination all year, where to enjoy lovely Spring, Summer and Autumn days. Located near Riposto, the property is 30 minutes drive from Taormina and Catania and only 1 km from a lovely pebble beach. The property exclusively available to the renters is endowed with a private swimming pool, a garden, a beautiful terrace, 4 big en suite bedrooms and sea-facing kitchen and living room.

The tall lofty trees provide plenty of shade for relaxing in on hot days or you can cool off in the swimming pool if you prefer. By the pool there's a dressing room and bathroom too. Another corner of the garden houses a large stone patio with dining table, table tennis, BBQ and a fridge. An external staircase leads to the first floor where the spacious interior consists of a kitchen, dining table and a sofa corner with comfy couches and armchairs and an adjoining terrace with great views of the sea and Etna beyond, a gazebo and dining table. Three double bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and a small toilet are on this floor too. A spiral staircase leads up to a loft, where there's a large child-friendly bedroom with three single beds and a bathroom. On the ground floor – with a separate entrance – are the housekeeper's apartments who take care of the garden and can provide 24/7 assistance in case of need. Next to these are the storerooms and the old winery ("palmento")- no longer in use, it serves as a "private museum" on the past of Sicily.

The villa is exclusively to the usage of the renters, including all its premises (the garden, the swimming pool, the patio, the terrace and all the internal area).

We will be available to give tips on the area, trips and other services.

The house is easily accessible from the main Sicilian highway (Messina-Catania), exit Giarre or Acireale. It is an approx. 30 minutes drive to Taormina, Catania, Mt. Etna and not far from other popular destinations including Acitrezza, Alcantara, Aeolian Islands' departure port, Agrigento, Siracusa, Ragusa, and the paradisiac beaches of the South East of Sicily.

The villa is available for rental on a weekly basis.

Beautiful Villa!!!

We had a lovely holiday in Sicily staying at this beautiful villa. The grounds are simply stunning, the gardens are so well maintained, we loved having fresh lemons every day from the Orchards to squeeze on our breakfast pancakes. There is so much to keep the kids entertained too - pool with dive board, hot tub and even table tennis! The views of Etna whilst sat on the balcony were amazing - especially when it started erupting and you could see the lava flowing down! The owners of the villa are lovely and give you lots of local information. We spent a lot of time at the villa relaxing and only visited Mount Etna (1hr drive) and Taormina (45min drive) - both worth visiting. The only thing that was a little bit disappointing was that you cannot walk to anything from this villa....no ice cream shops or little bars as it is on a fairly busy road you wouldn't really want to walk on. You must hire a car and you need to drive everywhere. That said there is a supermarket 5mins drive away and there is also a fantastic restaurant about 5mins drive from the villa called Le Serra - amazing views of Etna and fabulous food!! We went twice! Also be aware that none of the restaurants in the vicinty open before 7.30pm in the evening, Sicilian way I imagine, but we found this a bit restrictive with our 3 year old (who usually eats around 5pm) so we ended up eating in a few nights when he was too tired to stay up late. All in all though a great place to chill and spend time with the family! :)

Short stay for family of 6 adults

Really appreciated the welcome food pack, including a huge fruit basket. Pool and jacuzzi excellent. Loses one star due to proximity to road. Nevertheless would come again and happy to recommend.

Lovely stay in beautiful villa with excellent facilities. The owners were very responsive & helpful

The owners, Vera & Francesco, very kindly met us just after the toll booths on the A18 to lead us to the house. We were very late arriving with BA flight availability and delays but they were fine about it. They explained that they would indicate the location of a large supermarket, Conforama, and two pizzerias on the way to the house which was very helpful. They showed us around the house and explained how things worked on arrival which meant we could settle in straight away. The house was very clean and the kitchen was really well equipped. As others have said it was really helpful to have some food in the cupboards and fridge to start us off which was enough for 7 of us to have a snack on arrival and breakfast in the morning. The views from the terrace towards the sea and in the other direction towards Mount Etna were beautiful. There were three dining spaces including a garden room which was lovely. The pool and jacuzzi were excellent and it was good to see that both of these were given a good clean on changeover day. ( The jacuzzi was completely emptied.) There were lots of chairs & beds to relax on and lovely thick cotton beach towels provided in the little pool house with toilet. The four bedrooms had air conditioning and fans and there is a nice breeze too through the french doors on the three double en-suite bedrooms on the first floor. The en-suite bedroom in the eaves has a/c too and was perfect for the 3 young men sleeping up there with 3 small double beds. There was a fourth bed there too which was a sofa bed and there was another sofa bed in one of other double rooms. There was also a seating area inside which was especially useful for the stormy day. The property was well located between the sites of Etna, beautiful Taormina & Syracusa. The property was set in beautiful grounds with Kiwis (above the car port!) , lemons, limes & peaches growing on trees there and mint and rosemary was there too. It is not far to the local beach (15 min walk). The beach is full of large grey lava stones. The water was clear and warm. The only negative to Sicily for us was the amount of dumped rubbish everywhere, which was evident on the beach road, but it won’t stop us from returning. I would most definitely recommend a visit to this island with its sub tropical climate and amazing scenery and especially to this villa which is beautifully kept by owners who want you to have a 5* experience with them. THANK-YOU VERA & FRANCESCO!

What a wonderful villa!

Having stayed in a lot of villas I can say this is definitely one of the best we've rented. The pool alone deserves 5 stars - very good size and has a diving board too. Everything is well maintained and spotlessly clean both inside and outdoors. The villa has both air conditioning and overhead fans, but the fans work really well so we didn't turn the air con on at all. Each room is spacious and the beds are all comfortable - having a good amount of space is a must when you have five adults staying together. Kitchen is really well stocked with equipment for cooking and eating at the villa. There's something particularly nice about sitting outside with the sea on one side and Etna to the other whilst being surrounded by lemon trees! Vera & Francesco are perfect hosts - they came to meet us at the turn off from the motorway, guided us to the villa and gave us a really thorough tour of the villa including telling us all about local towns, restaurants and bars. They provided a really good welcome package of food and drinks for when we arrived, definitely don't need to worry about rushing to the shops immediately. Nino & Cettina who look after the villa and grounds live on the ground floor of the villa, with a separate entrance - you don't need to worry about bumping into each other, it's quite separate. Cettina's cooking is a must - you can pick from eight menus in a book which you request the day before, each one comes with two courses and wine. Hugely generous portions - especially the wine! There's always leftovers the next day. We'd love to come back in future - this was our first time in Sicily and this villa made it a very memorable trip.

Beautiful property in a stunning location

We stayed a week in this lovely property. It was like being in a Caribbean garden surrounded by flowers and trees. The owners were really friendly and provided a very comprehensive welcome pack including fruit that appeared to come from the garden. Soundproofing and air conditioning were both excellent as was the pool and Jacuzzi. The view from the terrace in one direction was Etna and the sea the other. There are many amazing locations to visit within a relatively short drive. We had a fantastic stay.
