About this property

Villa with huge private pool and sublime garden

Villa Alemà is a spacious villa with private pool and garden located on the south-eastern flanks of Mount Etna just a few minutes outside the towns of Aci S. Antonio and Acireale. The villa has high ceilings and smooth lava stone features. The garden is beautifully tended, with a perfect lawn and shaded areas, including a gazebo. Indoor and outdoor living areas combine seamlessly.

The villa consists of a main building on two floors and an annex:
- from the main entrance you access the living room that once was a ‘palmento’, an antique olive crusher. The living room opens onto a covered patio area, perfect for dining during hot summer days. The ground floor has a spacious kitchen, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The 1st floor has a bathroom, 3 bedrooms with air conditioning, and a terrace with a wide view on Mount Etna.
- the annex is provided with air conditioning and has a double bed and a bathroom.

Groups of 6 persons and less benefit from a discounted price without the use of the annexe.

Villa Alemà is ideal for families and friends who wish to explore the Eastern side of Sicily and relax in a huge garden with private pool. Thanks to the heating system and a gas heater in the palmento, the villa is also suitable for a winter stay.

The pool is 16 x 10 meters and up to 2.90 meters deep.

It’s all about the pool
Wonderful house in large grounds with fabulous pool. However it needs attention. Pool tiles missing but not excessive. Inside is huge with 2 large and 1 smaller shower room. They desperately need updated - plenty of room for walk in showers and a bath! No shower mats we had to use towels. In the bedrooms the decor is either dull or too much colour. It’s such a great building having been an olive palmento. It deserves to be better styled! There are some wonderful touches but the seating areas need to be better. The kitchen is a great size with large fridge. The dining room is like a school dining hall with plastic table cloth over 2 tables. No lamps only overhead light. We rearranged it to suit us. There are plenty of sun beds and an outside table and chairs, covered. Also there are 2 outside pool showers. We didn’t use the self contained flat or the barbecue area (covered) It’s a quiet neighbourhood with great views of Mt Etna. You’ll need a car, there’s a big supermarket nearby. There’s a table tennis table. It’s quirky with 2 bedrooms downstairs and 3 upstairs, 2 large terraces upstairs with outside steps to ground level. We enjoyed it as we spent our days by the pool but the inside needs attention. It could be stunning.

A large comfortable property, good location, views of Etna and a large pool
We stayed here during August 2017 and had a fabulous time. The villa has a lovely garden with a BBQ area and a large pool which is a must in the middle of the summer. The villa is large, comfortable and well equipped - perfect for a large family group (there were 11 of us). You do need a car as it is quite remote but the nearest supermarket is only a 5 minute drive. We were met by Massimo and the translators, Chiara and Giada who couldn't have been more helpful. They organised a meal which was cooked for us by their chef in our kitchen which was excellent. Catania is a short drive away and I would recommend a trip up Mount Etna. Stunning views. We will definitely be going back at some point in the future.

Lovely, spacious villa
A group of 9 adults, we really enjoyed our stay at Villa Alemà. The villa is well-equipped and has plenty of room. We especially enjoyed the large pool and pretty garden area, which has a lovely view of Mount Etna, and is great for evening meals. Acireale is a short drive away, and the villa is well-located to explore the East coast, with Catania (<30 mins) and Taormina (<40 mins). Thanks to Giada and Massimo, who were very welcoming, helpful and responsive, and provided useful tips of places to visit. We had a fun holiday and would definitely recommend this villa!

Lovely Villa. Would recommend. Would stay again.
Excellent villa, beautiful grounds, fantastic pool, brilliant BBQ set up. Quirky and interesting building. Plenty of space, lots of different places for different people to sit to get away from group (inside, outside under-cover or not). Great view of Etna from (one of the) balcony (ies). Kids loved the wi fi. Everyone enjoyed the pool table. Owner was very helpful. It was difficult to find first time, and we were late by the time we found it, but it was not an issue. On the downside there weren't really enough wine or water glasses for 10 of us, and the beds were merely satisfactory. We didn't discover anything within walking distance worth walking to. Pistachio ice cream and brioche bun recommeded!
