About this property

Sicilian country house with panoramic views

Authentically restored country-house oozing charm of an idyllic past amidst a delightful hilly landscape … here you have a superb view on the Alcantara valley and a refreshing pool beneath the shadow of a fig tree.

Villa Idyllica is located right on the foot of a rocky hill. Following a path, you can reach its summit and enjoy an even superior view. It is also likely that you’ll see the four horses of the owner of Villa Idyllica running freely in this unspoiled scenery!

The villa consists of a main building and an adjacent annex.
The main building is about 110 m2 on 2 floors. On the ground floor there is a large living room with adjoining fully-equipped kitchen, including oven and microwave. A staircase leads up to the sleeping area with three bedrooms and a bathroom with bathtub with shower and a washing machine.

The annex, which is about 40m2, provides you with an extra kitchen, a second bathroom and a fourth double bedroom on a mezzanine. You can access it from the outside, right next to the entrance of the main building.

A garden full of Mediterranean vegetation surrounds the villa and, under a centuries-old olive tree, provides you with a great place for barbecues.

Villa Idyllica is ideal for a relaxing retreat and offers a genuine version of Sicily that is truly family-friendly. The first restaurant - the excellent Paradise Restaurant - is within walking distance (400 meters) and without spending much time in the car you can reach the stunning sandy beaches of Giardini Naxos, Taormina, the impressive gorges and ravines of the River Alcantara and, of course, Mt Etna and all the picturesque villages, as well as prestigious wineries and vineyards on its flanks.

SURROUNDINGS

The Alcantara Valley is one of the lushest valleys of Sicily thanks to the presence of the Alcantara River that supplies irrigation water to the many citrus orchards cultivated in the area all year round. Even during the hot and dry Sicilian summers, the Alcatara Rivers remains ice cold, providing to all its visitors with fresh relaxing moments. You can simply wet your feet and peacefully lying down on its beaches and on its rocks, or doing fun activities such us tubing excursions or exploring the river with its lava-stone walls and waterfalls by hiking or by riding a horse.

The Alcantara Valley is a truly strategic base from where to explore the Eastern side of Sicily. The charming town of Taormina, its vibrant coast and coast villages (30km of beaches from Fondachello to Sant’Alessio Siculo), Mt Etna and its authentic villages are all very close by.

If you are a wine-lover you cannot miss Castiglione di Sicilia, a nearby village known as ‘the city of wine’ (‘Città del Vino’) for its famous vineyards and wineries.

The private pool measures 3x6 m and it is 1.20 m deep.

Nous avons été conquis par la Villa Idyllica, nous y avons passé de beaux moments en famille. Nous étions 4 adultes et 4 enfants. La maison est spacieuse, calme , avec vue sur la montagne, une belle piscine, les cheveaux... Les hôtes,Mimmo et Francesca sont des personnes très sympatiques et disponibles. Merci pour ce magnifique séjour, nous avons tout aimé et nous allons y revenir :-)

Review for stay from 12 August 2023 to 19 August 2023
Beautiful beautiful house with sea and mountain views not far from Taormina and beaches. Very friendly and welcoming host Mimmo. Excellent mattresses. The road to the cottage is easy to do, also with a normal car. The pool is on the small side but that is no objection for us. Highly recommended, and really value for money.

Review for stay from 05 August 2023 to 12 August 2023
The prefect place for a relaxed and private holiday. Beautiful surroundings, cosy house with pool. Mimmo, the owner was a great host, or rather a friend; just one word and he would arrange everything in a minute. Go there if you need something special to take care of yourself and your loved ones:)

Review for stay from 02 July 2023 to 08 July 2023
The house was amazing and in such a great and peaceful location which was exactly what we were looking for with our group for a well deserved work detox! The room were spacious and we had everything we needed. Mimmo and Francesca were great with communication and always here to answer any of our questions. I would 100% recommend this beautiful house and would love to stay there again!

Blissful!
The perfect place to totally chill and unwind, which was just what we needed. Lovely characterful farmhouse, fab location, close to Taormina, the most beautiful town ever! Loved the horses who came to greet us each morning and the cats who visited us. Mimmo was the perfect host, there when we needed, and even brought us vegan cookies, which was such a lovely gesture and much appreciated! We stayed for a week but would love to return and stay longer!
Stayed 7 nights in May 2023
