Only in Sicily can you relax by the pool with uninterrupted views of both the sea and Mount Etna. Set within lush Mediterranean gardens, this villa feels more like a private resort, complete with a gym and its own spa. Designed to blur the lines between indoors and out, sliding glass doors flood the interiors with natural light and open almost every room onto a terrace. You may never want to leave – but if you do, the beach is just 3km away, and Taormina, Mount Etna and Catania are all within easy reach.

Home truths
A young couple lives in a separate area onsite – they take care of the house, garden and pool.
The rooms are spread across three levels, which may not suit those with limited mobility.
The fourth bedroom is on the lower ground floor alongside the wellness area – it has a minibar, perfect for a late-night drink or snack.
The pool and wellness facilities, including the hot tub, emotional shower and relaxation area, are available year-round. To use the sauna and Turkish bath, you will need to notify the onsite staff at least three hours in advance.
The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's a private garage on the premises.
