Villa en Sicile avec piscine à louer, en face des Iles Éoliennes

Très jolie villa avec vue sur la mer et sur un beau verger où nous avons pu cueillir oranges, citrons, prunes, mandarines, raisin, tomates... pour le plus grand bonheur des adultes et des enfants. Intérieur vaste et agréable avec air conditionné dans toutes les chambres sauf celle des enfants. Nombreux coins aménagés avec confortables transats autour de la maison ce qui permet à chacun de trouver un petit coin tranquille. La gentillesse et disponibilité des propriétaires ont permis de passer un excellent séjour familial, sans oublier la délicieuse cuisine locale préparée par Virginia, vive, pétillante et cuisinière hors pair. Très belle piscine avec un muret haut qui protège des risques d'accident pour les jeunes enfants. Seul petit bémol, la proximité de l'autoroute qui passe devant la maison mais dont on parvient à faire abstraction avec le chant des cigales et les cris de joie des enfants dans la piscine!

Huge beautiful property - best swimming pool we’ve ever had at a villa, tennis court and gardens were great (we picked whatever was ripe from the orchard, if you went later in the summer you would have abundance!). Local bakery is great, beach is 10 minutes walk away. Barbara and Maurizio couldn’t have been more helpful, wonderful hosts. All in all a very impressive property, we loved it!

We were a party of 14 and no complaints. Hosts Maurizio and Barbara attended to our every need from giving us directions and info on things to do and places to visit to procuring tickets in advance for our excursions! Father was charming .. he showed up and gave us a tour of the grounds and helped us pick fruit and vegetables on the grounds. Villa has everything one would want for a fabulous stay only regret is we couldn’t stay longer! If you want a luxury stay book this villa! Grazie di cuore dai Villagers.

The villa was very impressive with spacious rooms and grounds. It is on a hill with great views over the sea.

Our party of 10 ranged in age from 8 to 87 so it was great that there was plenty of space so that we didn't feel like we were getting on top of each other.

The orchard and garden were perfect for hide and seek, tag, and other games. The temperature of the large pool was "bracing" (it was October) but that didn't stop us spending time in it and the hot tub and sauna were great!

The beach was only a 10 minute walk, we had a lovely day playing in the sand and swimming in the sea. We also went to Mt Enta and Taromina both well worth the visit; we also enjoyed some lazy days around the villa.

Maurizio and Barbara were very welcoming and stayed in touch to check everything was ok.

Spectacular oasis in the midst of amazing beauty, culture, history, and cuisine, with a phenomenal host and guide – Maurizio – who is passionate about the area and all it has to offer. Our family of three generations – including ages 17 through 89 – had high and varied hopes for our gathering in Sicily and they were delightfully exceeded.

The villa is a lovely, comfortable and intriguing place that invites and accommodates group gatherings as well as independent wandering and quiet time – all with spectacular views of the extensive gardens, sea, sunsets and the Aeolian Islands. We availed ourselves of so many of the villa’s wonderful features, including the many gathering spaces inside and out, the refreshing pool, the fabulous pizza oven with our pizza master chefs, and the abundant and well-tended garden providing delights of fresh lemons, oranges, kumquats, plums, pears, among other fruits not yet ready and awaiting other guests. The villa also provided a much welcome retreat after a full day of adventure in the surrounding area – and we took great advantage of its great location near the variety of destinations offered.

During our two-week stay, every day we were treated to a new adventure – almost always recommended by Maurizio. We enjoyed delicious local dining and wine tasting, visiting fascinating historically significant towns, land marks, museums, and archeologically rich sites, as well as enjoying breathtaking views from huge stone monoliths, diverse island destinations, and small towns and large churches perched against the rugged landscape.

Maurizio, as well as his father, and all of the wonderful network of people who are as passionate about this beautiful part of Sicily and providing quality experiences, service, and local products, are incredibly gracious, kind, and generous with their time and assistance with enabling a most memorable trip. They are rightly proud of this wonderful villa and the surrounding areas, and we have come away feeling enriched, renewed, and relaxed with an abundance of memories and hopes to return some day soon.

Grazie Mille
