Historical country house near Taormina & the sea. Stunning view of Mt Etna

The spacious sitting/dining room with its ornate fireplace and traditional furnishings lead onto the oval terrace. Pine trees surround the terrace on which there is a working stone font - the ideal setting for an evening aperitif watching the flaming Etna volcano as well as dinner on those balmy evenings. The bedrooms are all simply but comfortably and colourfully decorated with shutters leading out onto the front garden. Alternatively, when the Sicilian sun becomes too overbearing one can cool off in the large pool behind the house. Palm, avocado and olive trees around the pool provide some shade over parts of the terrace where again some stunning views to the sea and the Mount Etna can be appreciated. We believe lovers of Sicily and also those new to the many fascinations of this island will love the opportunity to stay in this traditional classic home within such easy access of so many popular destination. AC in 5 of 5 bedrooms and in the dining and living areas of the house.

Everything was enjoyable about this remarkable old Sicilian casina which was evocative of the Italy that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Our property manager, Alessio, made sure that questions or special requests were immediately and cheerly answered. Despite chilly rainy weather we used the villa as a departure point for the wide variety of destinations, restaurants, and historical sites throughout the region, including Etna, which smiles down on it from on high. A very special and unexpected surprise was a visit to the Giardini Victoria which Valeria’s sister Victoria has created on the property to preserve and celebrate the region’s spectacular agricultural and natural flora. The orange, lemon and grapefruit orchards were just beginning to bloom. One can only imagine the perfume they will be creating in the next few weeks! This may not be the best choice for those who are not familiar with Italy’s quirks and customs, but for those who are a special experience awaits!

Your Lovely home in Sicily

Valleria, We spent a wonderful week in September at your family home. I can say that I am typically a very picky traveler and only like authentic italian architecture; Your home has a wonderful feel and is filled with authentic family art and furniture which made us feel right at home. The gardens and the pool were very well kept. The pool was the perfect size for morning and evening laps. The olive groves leading to the house offer great privacy. Thanks again for all of your family's help. Best, Marc

A great place for a marvelous holiday

The villa is on a hillside with a secluded garden in a private estate and surrounded by fields and terraces of oranges. The pool area is great and we spent loads of time there. The house is spacious and delightful. Decorated tastefully in a shabby chic way. The bathrooms work but are functional rather than modern and having an evening barbecue on the spacious terrace with Mt Etna as backdrop is stunning. We used the cooking service twice and had good meals. I would definitely recommend this property. We were only 6 adults, if you were 10 it would be fine but the kitchen might be a bit busy and there would be some bathroom sharing but the sitting room and dining area and terrace are huge. As is the pool area. We had a marvelous time

We had a wonderful time here at the Villa. Valeria was a wonderful host, responsive to queries and always on hand if needed. The property itself was excellent and we loved spending time on the terrace and by the pool. We had a BBQ one evening and it was great sitting in the twilight eating outdoors both there and on the terrace. The rooms were lovely with the upper bedroom having a balcony and the lower rooms onto the front drive. The beach at Giardini Naxos is a 45 minute walk or 10 minute drive away both of which we did. the Best supermarket near by was the Deco, less than 10 minute drive away. it was a great place with which to explore Taormina, Etna and Syracuse, all of which we did. We would love at some point in the future. Highly recommend.

Super Royal Villa!

The Villa is one og a kind. It is almost as a small Castle, filled with old paitings of Counts. The Villa is very, very big and very nice decorated. It is very easy to be 2 families. The Villa has a very big terrasse, where we had breakfast and dinner and another terrasse next to the pool area where we had lunch. The poolarea is opposit the house and has great chair and a shade area. The pool is enormous. I can easily recommend this amazing and beautifull Villa. It is by far, the most fantastic place we have ever stayed in. The Villa is situated outside a small town, where you can by fresh bread at the american bakery. Taormina is very close, it takes about 15 min to drive there and you will enjoy the peace and quiet in the Mountains, once you have visited Taormina. We are totally pleased and satisfied with everything.

Unique Sicilian Experience

We were a family travelling with 3 kids and another family with kids and we found that the villa was perfect for our needs. We wanted a beautiful place to spend 2 weeks with our family and the villa was gorgeous and provided the best place for us to spend some amazing time together: the pool was big enough for everybody, the gorgeous orange and olive tree orchared provided the best place for walks, one of the terraces was built for a family barbeque and the other terrace provided us with an impressive view over Mount Etna as well as a spacious place to enjoy evenings with the family. The house is beautiful, full of a rich history and really elegant. Moreover, the host is very discrete, however close enough to be there whenever we needed her. Also, she is a very pleasant person, with amazing stories, who truly provided us with an amazing experience. Overall, the villa gave us a real feel of a true Sicilian experience, something we will always remember and we already planned to come back and discover more of Sicily's treasures.

Everything as advertised.

Just want to say that the villa was beautiful. Very clean, very old and very good views from the patio. We watched mini eruptions of Mt Etna on two nights. The grounds have lots of beautiful flowers making it a pleasure to stroll around. We had three younger people with us so the pool was used on a daily basis. It was clean and very refreshing. Chef Maria was recommended to us by Valeria, she was amazing. We asked her to cook for us on two nights and the food was beyond good. She does not speak English, but we communicated through the wonders of Iphones. We would strongly recommend her. Also on the recommendation of Valeria, was the taxi service of Andrea and his father. There was nine of us staying at the villa and they never disappointed us. To and from the airport and every where else in between, even shopping for food and the great Sicilian wines. Andrea even helped bag the groceries. The only thing that was a little different at the villa was the downstairs bedrooms, you had to go through one to get to your bedroom, but we managed because we were all up early so as not to miss the day. Everyone was more perfect than the day before. We only had one week in Sicily, being there for our son's wedding in Taormina and the Villa Sant Andrea on the beach, so we did not get to see enough of Sicily. If we did return, we would definitely stay at the villa again. Thank you Valeria for everything. Ken, Jessica and family

A unique and elegant property

This villa is old, authentic, and charming, decorated with lovely furnishings and family oil portraits, set on a large citrus farm about a mile from Trappitello, with spectacular views of Mt Etna from the large patio. A few steps from the house is a sparkling swimming pool, clean and well cared for like everything else on this property. The owner Valeria was welcoming, made sure we were comfortable, and gave us vegetables and fruit from the farm. She also recommended the services of Andrea and Natale Pagano, who reliably provided all the transportation we needed during our 11 day stay. It was such a pleasure to return the the cool and quiet of the villa after long days of touring Mt Etna, Syracusa, Taormina, and Naxos. I'm very happy that we chose this lovely villa for our stay in Sicily.

An incredible villa and a hugely helpful host! The villa is even more amazing than it looks on the pictures! Such a beautiful setting - incredibly peaceful and near to the beach and Etna! Amazing view of Etna too. We did not tire of sitting on the many verandas admiring the view. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all of a very high standard and the living area too. Would thoroughly recommend and would love to come back every year!

Sizilien von seiner besten Seite

Wir waren mit 3 Paaren und 3 fast erwachsenen Kindern im Juli 2018 in diesem schönen Haus. Die Anfahrt war dank guter Beschreibung einfach, wir wurden herzlich empfangen. Das Haus ist wunderschön, die Zimmer verteilen sich auf 2 Etagen, so dass auch für die jenigen, die Ruhe möchten genügend Rüchzugsorte vorhanden sind. Die Zimmer und Bäder sind sauber und wurden innerhalb des Zeitraumes 2 mal gereinigt. Die Terrasse mit Blick auf den Ätna ist ein Highlight, der Pool sehr gut zum schwimmen und entspannen geeignet und sehr sauber. Wir waren bisher schon 5 mal in der Region in den Sommerferien - die Unterkunft hat uns am besten gefallen. Valeria (die Gastgeberin) spricht sehr gut Englisch und ist sehr hilfsbereit und zuverlässig. Weiteres Highlight: die Möglichkeit im Haus kochen zu lassen, die gebuchten Menüs waren überragend, besser als in allen Restaurants vor Ort. Kurzum: Traumurlaub - wir kommen gerne wieder!. PS: ein paar scharfe Messer für den Tomatensalat zwischendurch fehlen in der Küche - ansonsten fehlt es an nichts, vielen Dank.

Living like an Italian

Valeria, the owner could not have been more wonderful. The property was enchanting. I was traveling with my son, 2 grandchildren and my best friend and her husband, so the layout of bedrooms was perfect. If your group was all couples it might be chalanging because the first floor bedrooms consisted of 2 private rooms and 2 rooms which had to be walked through to get to the stairs. The Commen areas were wonderful, we imagined how wonderful it would have been to grow up there. We all rallied for coffee and breakfast in the well equipped kitchen, threw open the shutters to hear birds and look at an amazing vista. We would take our breakfast on the terrace with Mount Etna views (very relaxing). Sightseeing all day, and having one of the many incredible Italian dinners we retunied to gather in the salon for reviewing our days activities and an after dinner drink. On request Valeria arranged a home made meal for us one evening, which was lovely, very inexpensive, and an abundance of courses. It was wonderful coming home to the smells of pasta Norma cooking, one our favorite memories. I would suggest doing this early in your trip because of the amount of food for left overs. Both of my grandchildren were into photography, the house and property gave them an amazing canvas. I think the only negative were the linens, the towels and sheets needed to be kicked up a notch. Saying that we were not looking for anything too Americanized so we were ok with it. All in all we loved it! Thanks Valeria....

charming traditional Sicily experience

We loved our stay here. The house is very traditional which was exactly what we wanted and as described. The terrace in particular was a delightful place to sit in the evenings especially as it was very very hot during our stay. Valeria was very helpful and sorted out small problems with air conditioning etc. We booked the cook on two nights and can't recommend enough - they produced two wonderful meals - well worth it and much better than eating out which was very pricey in August for 9 of us. If I was to suggest one improvement it would be better pillows. Not sure if my family is very fussy but all found them pretty uncomfortable! Lovely location - would have liked to walk more if it hadn't been so hot. Very convenient for beaches and Taormina. Thank you for great holiday!
