Description

Welcome to La Villa, a stunning country house set in a magnificent Mediterranean garden in the grounds of an organic fruit and vegetable farm. La Villa is the kind of place everyone dreams of for a journey to Sicily. The luxurious house, is located in the middle of an unspoiled area of 10 hectares.
La Villa offers private garden and verandas, private swimming pool and terraces all for the comfort of our guests. La Villa is a perfect place for you to relax in idyllic surroundings while a mere 4 minutes drive away from the sea, the beaches and all that Giardini Naxos and nearby Taormina has to offer visitors of all ages.
Our Certified Organic garden is all around the Villa with natural herbs and trees, like lemons, bitter orange, mulberry trees, fig trees, almonds and a monumental agave.
The unique pool borders a grotto of lava-stone sourced from an eruption of Mt.Etna in 1000 B.C. It is surrounded by a characteristic prickly pear hedge, and offers a large solarium with pool beds and chairs. Our guests are welcome to pick and sample fruit straight from the trees in our orchard, visit the vegetable and herb garden where the fragrance of fresh mint and basil fills the air. These are some of the myriad memorable moments that make a stay at La Villa a magical experience.
You won't want to return home!
La Villa is has two floors with 440 sq. m. inside and over 4000 sq. m. outside. Next to the pool the you will be able to enjoy the patio of La Torretta (The Turret) entirely made of local stone and totally immersed in greenery.
La Villa faces the sun all the morning and afternoon. From the rooms and the verandas you can see the garden, the countryside and a spectacular sunset behind Etna.
La Villa offers sleeping accommodations for up to 12 people in 4 double bedrooms, and 1 single bedroom. On request 3 additional beds are also available. One double room is on the ground floor (Palm room) and three are on the first floor.
