Historical country house near Taormina & the sea. Stunning view of Mt Etna

The spacious sitting/dining room with its ornate fireplace and traditional furnishings lead onto the oval terrace. Pine trees surround the terrace on which there is a working stone font - the ideal setting for an evening aperitif watching the flaming Etna volcano as well as dinner on those balmy evenings. The bedrooms are all simply but comfortably and colourfully decorated with shutters leading out onto the front garden. Alternatively, when the Sicilian sun becomes too overbearing one can cool off in the large pool behind the house. Palm, avocado and olive trees around the pool provide some shade over parts of the terrace where again some stunning views to the sea and the Mount Etna can be appreciated. We believe lovers of Sicily and also those new to the many fascinations of this island will love the opportunity to stay in this traditional classic home within such easy access of so many popular destination.

Our Sicilian Vacation
A beautiful property in a terrific location. The host Valeria was most helpful and responsive to our needs as was her representative Alessio. We had a wonderful time and would be happy to make many return trips!

We had a wonderful time here at the Villa. Valeria was a wonderful host, responsive to queries and always on hand if needed. The property itself was excellent and we loved spending time on the terrace and by the pool. We had a BBQ one evening and it was great sitting in the twilight eating outdoors both there and on the terrace. The rooms were lovely with the upper bedroom having a balcony and the lower rooms onto the front drive. The beach at Giardini Naxos is a 45 minute walk or 10 minute drive away both of which we did. the Best supermarket near by was the Deco, less than 10 minute drive away. it was a great place with which to explore Taormina, Etna and Syracuse, all of which we did. We would love at some point in the future. Highly recommend.

A unique and elegant property
This villa is old, authentic, and charming, decorated with lovely furnishings and family oil portraits, set on a large citrus farm about a mile from Trappitello, with spectacular views of Mt Etna from the large patio. A few steps from the house is a sparkling swimming pool, clean and well cared for like everything else on this property. The owner Valeria was welcoming, made sure we were comfortable, and gave us vegetables and fruit from the farm. She also recommended the services of Andrea and Natale Pagano, who reliably provided all the transportation we needed during our 11 day stay. It was such a pleasure to return the the cool and quiet of the villa after long days of touring Mt Etna, Syracusa, Taormina, and Naxos. I'm very happy that we chose this lovely villa for our stay in Sicily.

Living like an Italian
Valeria, the owner could not have been more wonderful. The property was enchanting. I was traveling with my son, 2 grandchildren and my best friend and her husband, so the layout of bedrooms was perfect. If your group was all couples it might be chalanging because the first floor bedrooms consisted of 2 private rooms and 2 rooms which had to be walked through to get to the stairs. The Commen areas were wonderful, we imagined how wonderful it would have been to grow up there. We all rallied for coffee and breakfast in the well equipped kitchen, threw open the shutters to hear birds and look at an amazing vista. We would take our breakfast on the terrace with Mount Etna views (very relaxing). Sightseeing all day, and having one of the many incredible Italian dinners we retunied to gather in the salon for reviewing our days activities and an after dinner drink. On request Valeria arranged a home made meal for us one evening, which was lovely, very inexpensive, and an abundance of courses. It was wonderful coming home to the smells of pasta Norma cooking, one our favorite memories. I would suggest doing this early in your trip because of the amount of food for left overs. Both of my grandchildren were into photography, the house and property gave them an amazing canvas. I think the only negative were the linens, the towels and sheets needed to be kicked up a notch. Saying that we were not looking for anything too Americanized so we were ok with it. All in all we loved it! Thanks Valeria....

Lovely property, nicest host
The property is lovely and we really enjoyed the pool. While it is old, it is not run down. Valeria is lovely and a pleasure to deal with. She was responsive and quick to deal with minor issues. The location is wonderful and easy to get to Taormina or Catania or Siracusa or Noto. The terrazzo with views of Etna was great. Well equippedkitchen and modern reno on the bathrooms. Trapatello has all the amenities for buying food etc. Great restaurants within thirty minutes, usually fifteen. Highly recommend. Five bedrooms w large common areas.

charming traditional Sicily experience
We loved our stay here. The house is very traditional which was exactly what we wanted and as described. The terrace in particular was a delightful place to sit in the evenings especially as it was very very hot during our stay. Valeria was very helpful and sorted out small problems with air conditioning etc. We booked the cook on two nights and can't recommend enough - they produced two wonderful meals - well worth it and much better than eating out which was very pricey in August for 9 of us. If I was to suggest one improvement it would be better pillows. Not sure if my family is very fussy but all found them pretty uncomfortable! Lovely location - would have liked to walk more if it hadn't been so hot. Very convenient for beaches and Taormina. Thank you for great holiday!

Gorgeous villa and friendly people
We spent two weeks in this gorgeous villa during the July heat. Although we spent some time visiting Etna, Taormina and the surrounding area, our favourite days were simple enjoying the beauty, peace and tranquillity of the villa. stunning
