This beautiful villa, owner’s summer residence, is ideal if you want to stay away from commercial properties. The villa is available every year, for weekly or monthly rental, from October to mid May. It can accommodate up to ten guests, but you will be charged only for the number of bedrooms you use and the number of guests in your party and will have the exclusive use of the residence.
Its unique style and comfort will surprise you to an unforgettable holiday. The villa develops on two floors and is exquisitely furnished with antiques and family heirlooms. Custom-made beds and 100% cotton linen will insure you the best comfort while you sleep. In the evening you will relax in the shade of the secluded subtropical garden. You will feel free to move in and out to the covered patio and the luscious garden from the intimate and comfortable living room, furnished with 18th century furnishings, as well as from the large kitchen.
For your added security and convenience, we have installed a safe in the house.
This villa is located in the heart of Casteldaccia, a quaint village on a Sicilian hill, two km from the sea and 20 min. easy drive to Palermo.
The location offers all the best. Placed in the centre of the town, the villa overlooks an intimate garden, while at the same time it offers you a taste of local life and easy walks for your shopping. Excellent is the local production of wine. Don’t forget to taste the world renown 'Corvo, Duca di Salaparuta', the pasta Tomasello, exported in USA and Canada and the extra virgin cold press olive oil 'Giara'.
Freeway connection, located 200 meters away, will allow you to quickly connect, explore and discover remote areas of the island.
