About this property

Pool villa in peaceful location. Breathtaking views of sea, Mt. Etna & Taormina

'A magical retreat' as featured in The Telegraph (UK).

Welcome to your exclusive retreat in Sicily… Set 'away from it all' on a fabulous hill top position overlooking the sparkling Ionian Sea in the Mediterranean, the villa boasts breathtaking and unrivalled views stretching across from Mount Etna to the surrounding area of Taormina on the east coast of Sicily.

The villa is a traditionally built stone detached property, with air conditioning and its own private 'infinity edge' swimming pool and garden. Completely independent, the villa assures you total privacy. A large panoramic terrace and shaded patio, with a barbecue and woodfired pizza oven, offer ample ‘al fresco' dining space from which, at near 500 meters altitude, you will truly feel on top of the world.

Inside, furnished and equipped to a high standard, the villa provides and caters for the expectations of the discerning modern traveler, whether you are holidaying as a couple, family or with friends. The villa can accommodate up to 8 people (6 adults and 2 kids/teenagers), and has one family bathroom and a smaller bath/toilet.

The charm and attraction of the villa span from having the space and privacy to do whatever you please, at your own pace… to visiting the areas of Taormina, Castelmola and Giardini-Naxos, and local beaches all within a 25-35 minute drive. For sightseeing, Mount Etna, the Alcantara Gorge, Syracuse, the Aeolian islands including Stromboli, the villa provides an excellent and comfortable base in a rural and quiet location.

Whether it is tranquility, culture, sun, beaches, sightseeing or living 'la dolce vita' you are looking for, we welcome you.

Saluti,
Michael & Marianne


IMPORTANT: Info about the road to the villa: The villa is located 500 m above sea level, and is reached in 25 min. from the seaside town Giardini Naxos by a narrow, and in few places steep and quite bad asphalt mountain road. The road is not fenced. Some guests do not want to drive the road after dark, and are thus not able to go out for dinner, while others are totally fine with the road, And the reward is one of the best views on the island, once arrived at the villa. We offer optional "Meet & Greet" service on arrival day, for a smooth drive up to the villa.
In general, please note it requires good driving experience and a confident driver to negotiate the roads and traffic in Sicily,

About the host

Hosted by Michael Fjording

Host profile image
We are Michael & Marianne from Denmark. Having travelled for many years, we have been fortunate to see some of the most amazing places on Earth. We have always looked for these special places to stay, where a magical atmosphere, great views and beautiful natural surroundings gave us a truly unique experience. And we have always been keen on sharing such experiences with others, which earlier lead us to write travel articles and publish several guidebooks.

Why they chose this property

When we, by chance, saw Villa Etna Mare, we were sold. The villa defined everything we had travelled the globe to find, and here we got the opportunity to call such a place "home". As always, we are eager to help fellow travelers get unique travel experiences, and renting out the villa is a great way to do just that.

What makes this property unique

Being able to enjoy the Mount Etna views from the villa is a privilege. The ever changing light, clouds, smoke and occasional lava or ash fountain means you are never getting tired of just sitting by the pool and look at this iconic natural wonder.
