Luxury villa for rent in Sicily luxury seaside with private pool for 12 people

"I don’t have words to express how she [Sicily] has welcomed us: with fresh green mulberry trees, evergreen oleanders, lemon hedgerows […] The air is mild, warm and aromatic, the wind balmy." – Goethe, Italian Journey (1816-1817)

Is there a better place to experience the authentic Sicilian countryside than in this charming villa ?

Perched on the slopes of Mount Etna, this recently restored stone farmhouse is set in lush gardens adorned with olive trees, and offers superb views over the Ionian Sea.

Cosy yet refined interiors fuse lava stone and warm, earthy colours which evoke the ancient symbol of Trinacria (Sicily’s former Greek name) while paying tribute to the volcanic site upon which the villa is built.

Take advantage of the tranquil setting and while away a few hours in the pool, or go for a stroll in Etna Park and marvel at the eponymous volcano, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

This region is home to the Ionian Coast’s glittering gems, from the awe-inspiring Greek amphitheatre of Taormina to the archaeological museum of Syracuse, to the Baroque Piazza Duomo in Catania, where infinite flavours of gelato are just waiting to be sampled.
