Panoramic villa overlooking Etna with swimming pool among the scents of a citrus garden

Beautiful house surrounded by orange and lemon trees, in a quiet area of Viagrande, it has large outdoor spaces equipped to let you enjoy your holiday in complete relaxation, amidst the colors and scents of Sicily. A large terrace of about 150 square meters enjoys an extraordinary view of Etna and the swimming pool. Partly shaded by two large umbrellas, it is furnished with a nice dining table with chairs, sofa, armchairs and deck chairs. The area around the swimming pool has a large, extraordinarily bright solarium that enhances the blue of the water and the sky. Equipped with showers, elegantly furnished and with attention to detail, the ideal place to relax on a chaise longue, have a drink or read a book.
On the side of the house, visible from the terrace and not far from the swimming pool, in the garden below, there is the barbecue with a large worktop, hob, sink, mini bar and table with chairs. All cleverly lit to be able to enjoy this space even on summer evenings. You will find various aromatic plants and spices, absolutely organic: oregano, mint, basil, capers, sage, bay leaf, red chilli pepper etc. to enrich the taste of what you eat and remind you that you are in Sicily, the land of perfumes.

Brilliant holiday!
All went very smoothly from start to finish. Carmelo was a fine host. Villa was absolutely lovely and well located for many day outings including Taormina, Syracuse, Aeolian Islands and Castiglione di Sicilia. The highlight for us was perhaps the guided hike to the upper slopes of Etna- amazing experience!

Viagrande Juli/August 2024
Unsere Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, obwohl wir mit beachtlicher Verspätung eingetroffen sind. Wir (Großeltern, Eltern und 2 Enkelkinder) haben uns in dem Ferienhaus sehr wohlgefühlt. Wir haben die ruhige Lage, den Swimmingpool (vor allem die Kinder) und die Annehmlichkeiten des Hauses sehr genossen. Am letzten Ferientag bescherte uns dann der Ätna einen gewaltigen Ascheregen, der sich aber bewaffnet mit Besen gut händeln ließ. Wir werden bestimmt wiederkommen!

Wunderschönes Haus mit Blick auf den Ätna
Das Haus und das Grundstück sind wunderschön.Alles ist modern und sauber. Der Pool war toll. Wenn man wollte hat man den ganzen Tag Sonne, aber auch Schatten. Man hat direkten Blick auf den Ätna. Die Tage waren sehr schön dort- immer wieder gerne!!!

Très jolie maison entièrement rénovée au calme avec vue sur l'Etna
Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans la maison de Carmelo et Allessandra. La maison est très agréable et très bien équipée, tout est neuf et de bon goût. La vue sur l'Etna est spectaculaire. Le quartier est calme et les commerces sont facilement accessibles en voiture. Les propriétaires sont très attentionnés et gentils. Je vous recommande cette maison les yeux fermés.
