It is surrounded by a beautiful garden (approximately 4500 sqm) with tropical and rare plants, where you can spend pleasant moments swimming in the pool, having sun or making barbeque at the summer kitchen!

You can admire the famous ceramics outside and inside the house. The property is equipped with a wide range of outdoor furniture to offer guests a comfortable stay, even for large groups of people. An outside bathroom and a shower are at guests’ disposal.The villa consists of three floors but offers two separate entrances – the main part offers a large lounge, a kitchen, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

Both parts are in communication with stairs and at the same time can be separated units with proper entrances.

This wonderful villa is located a kilometer from Fiumefreddo, a beautiful town of Catania-Taormina area. The beach is just 2000 meters away. We are in the eastern side of Sicily, the homeland of Etna volcano (15 km away) with its inactive volcanoes (the sons of Etna), caves, forests, lava grounds. Taormina, known as “the pearl of Sicily”, one of the worldwide masterpieces of beauty is just 10 km away, an evergreen location that has attracted people since the ancient times. Archaeology, myth, a sort of Arab architecture style, amazing landscapes, a blue sea, and such a noble atmosphere, gives Taormina a unique charm. Few kilometers away from the downtown, here it is one of the most beautiful place in the world: Taormina mare (Mazzarò, Spisone, Isolabella), with so many lido (private beaches) where one can enjoy a meal by the sea. Other two great locations (very good for fisheries and beaches), are Letojanni (5 km) and Giardini Naxos (1 km), the latter with the ruins of Naxos, the first Greek settlement in Sicily (VIII b.C.). Last but not least the lively Catania (15 km) with its Piazza Duomo (the heart of Catania) and the Via Etnea, the main street of the town, a pedestrian walking full of shops, cafe’s and wonderful buldings in Baroque style.
Having a breakfast or drinking a cocktail looking towards the Mediterranean Sea is always a magic experience.
