LE PALME GARDEN

Description from the owner

The "Palme Garden Villa" is located in an unbelievably beautiful Botanical Garden planted over a 100 years ago, no more than 50 meters away from the sea. A strikingly peculiar place where this Bungalow is litterally submersed into an amazingly luxuriant tropical vegetation. Therefore, it is cool and allow a life "al fresco" even at the top of the season. Since they are a few steps away from the long stretch of fine sandy (and sunny) beach of San Giorgio, going for a swim is something you can do easily, on foot, simply wearing your bathing suit and a towel.

The bungalow can comfortably accommodate up to 4 + 2 persons; it has a front te...rrace where our guests can relax, have breakfast, have a candle-lit dinner or simply sit and watch the jungle effect created by the overgrowing vegetation.

Inside the house, there is one main double bedroom with a queen size bed and a built-in wardrobe, one second bedroom with 2 separated single beds and a buil-in wardrobe, and 2 more single beds into the lounge, wich has also a dining area. The kitchen has stainless steel work top, wooden cabinets and all necessary equipment such as fridge and freezer. The bathroom is with shower. Telephone linked to switchboard, TV set and safe provided. Parasols and sun deck chairs available on our private area of the beach. This is not only a lovely place where to stay but, also, a friendly environment where people will do their best to introduce you to all this beautiful and varied country has to offer.Read more

Additional Location Information

The estate is located approximately 60km west of Messina on the Tyrrhenian Sea, in that part of the Gulf of Patti enclosed within Cape Tyndaris and Cape Calavà. Set amidst renowned scenic country, it makes a superb base for exploring all our beautiful Island has to offer. It faces the Aeolian Islands; Vulcano is only 11 miles away and, easily reachable by means of small speedboats. Our seawater is warm and clean; the shore is sandy with gently rising water. Peculiar to this area of the Sicilian coast is the sequence of rocky capes embedded into beautiful sandy shores, all sloping down into blue, crystal clear waters. Rising steeply at the back of the coast are the Nebrodi Mountains (Nebrodi Natural Park) which are the main reason why this province is so green and cool; not only they offer great protection against the African all-oppressive hot winds coming from the South, but, also, the great quantity of water sources existing allow vegetation to grow thickly. All this improves dramatically the micro climate of the area. Olive-trees and, other typical Mediterranean plants offer rich and striking view, extending from the salty fragrance of the seashore, right up to the pastures of Mount Etna. Historically, in this area there are some of the most ancient Greek and Roman Sicilian sites such as the Greek Theatre in Tyndaris or the Roman Villa in Patti (with mosaic floors no less important than the ones in Piazza Armerina). There are also two beautiful Norman Castles, in Milazzo and in Montalbano Elicona, belonging to Frederic the Second and quite a number of Saracen Towers along the coast. Do keep in mind that lots of different cultures passed through this land, as conquerors : Arabs, Byzantines, Normans, Spanish and French. Taormina, Cefalù, the Island of Stromboli and Mount Etna are all within a range of 100kms, while Palermo and Catania are one and a half hour away by motorway. Therefore a stay at the Baglio or at the Palme is an ideal, relaxed and easy way to discover a good part of "Our Sicily" and of its beauties.
