This beautiful villa is situated in the countryside, amidst beautiful surroundings, in a lush lemon plantation, between Mt. Etna and the sea. The centre of Taormina is just 4 miles away.

Etna, nearby attractions include the Alcantara Gorges, the Greek and Roman city of Siracusa with its fascinating remains, and the Baroque town of Noto.
The villa was originally a 19th century manor house, tinted red with volcanic clay and surrounded by a mature Mediterranean garden, filled with lavender, hibiscus, palms, fig trees and centuries old olive trees, and with views over the stunning Sicilian landscape. A beautiful swimming pool is bordered in lava stone and has a spectacular view of Mt. Etna. Meals can be taken on the lawn in the shade of large sun umbrellas.
