About this property

18th Century country house between sea and Etna

Situated on a stretch of coast between Catania and Taormina, proudly surveying its estate from the crest of a hill is Villa Bagolaro, an 18th Century country house in a stunning and perfectly peaceful setting between the sea and Mount Etna. Indoor and outdoor living combine seamlessly due to the bright and welcoming rooms and their communication with the terraces. It would be difficult to ask for a more delightful setting.

The living areas and bedrooms of Villa Bagolaro are all on one floor (the first floor). The villa consists of 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with shower, small tub, bidet and toilet, a large living area with fireplace and a double sofa-bed, another living area with a fireplace and a single sofa-bed, a kitchen with wood oven and next to it a dining room with dining table. Outside there is also a terrace with seating, deckchairs, extra toilet (in the laundry room), a shower and a barbecue. There is WiFi!

Because of the presence of 2 fireplaces, the house offers a pleasant stay also during the few cold weeks of the short Sicilian winter. There is a maximum usage of 3 KWH of electricity.

The area: Villa Bagolaro is an ideal starting point to explore Mount Etna and its surroundings. Etna villages such as Trecastagni, Zafferana Etnea and Randazzo are famous for their ancient lava flows, the architecture of their 17th century churches, their delicious local products and the hospitality of their villagers. Situated 700m above the sea, they are a popular destination for city dwellers who want some fresh air in the summer and snow for skiing in the winter. Few people know that Etna is a popular place among skiers in winter. On some beautiful winter days, it is even possible to ski on frozen slopes in the morning while enjoying a magnificent panoramic view of the Mediterranean and then go sunbathe on the beach in the afternoon!

We had a really great time in this wonderful villa
In this wonderful old villa we felt like in a movie and had wonderful holidays. The villa does what the description promises and is also located in a beautiful garden with orange and lemon trees. Owner family Grassis are very gracious hosts. It was a charming stay between Etna and the sea. Highly recommended. Die Villa hält was die Beschreibung verspricht und befindet sich darüberhinaus in einem traumhaften garten mit Orangen- und Zitronenbäumen . Besitzer-Familie Grassis vor Ort sind äusserst liebenswürdige Gastgeber. Es war ein bezaubernder Aufenthalt zwischen Etna und Meer. Wirklich sehr zu empfehlen.

Our two week holiday at Villa Bagolaro
We recently spent two weeks in your beautiful villa & found it to be very comfortable & extremely well equipped. The grounds are lovely with the fantastic backdrop of Mount Etna. It is the ideal base for exploring the local area. Taormina is absolutely gorgeous, well worth a visit, as is Acci Trezza. If you are looking for good fast food "Speedy Food" in Corruba is excellent value for money & exceedingly good quality. Thank you for a brilliant holiday. The Turner family.

Romantic old farmhouse between Taormina - Catania
This is an old farmhouse with lots of history and character, suitable for 1-2 families. So do not expect kitchen, furniture etc. it to be at most modern standards - this is reflected in the relatively lower rental price. We found the house overall to be (sufficiently) clean and very comfortable (be aware that Mt. Etna may dust the terraces and garden furniture at any time). All the equipment, including WIFI is functional and as described. Contrary to description there actually is a second WC and a second (outdoor) shower. The property is rather big, with lots of space for everyone.The manager is always available when needed, flexible and very helpful. The farm is located right between Taormina and Catania, ideal for trips to either city, to the Etna or even further down to Syracuse. For grocery-shopping we recommend the next village north (Carruba, 3 mins.). For swimming the beaches of Cottone and San Marco (20 mins. north). Overall we enjoyed our stay very much. -1 star because of the early morning noise from the neighbouring farm (including rifle shooting at 7 a.m.). BIG PLUS however: your own fig tree on the premises, with the invitation to harvest as you can :-)
