Located at the foot of the Mompilieri crater and towered by the immensity of the Etna, Villa nel Monte enjoys the tranquility of an ancient and unspoiled landscape, pampered by the luxury of its interior and its private pool.
The villa is born of the precious connection of art and knowledge of a father, skilful restorer, and his son, architect with innovative and eco-sustainable ideas. The result is a sophisticated, modern and at the same time profoundly Sicilian villa, ideal for those who are looking for an authentic holiday without renouncing style and comfort.
You can access Villa nel Monte from a spacious and bright living room with sofa bed, a modern kitchen and access to the terrace and the panoramic garden. Upstairs you will find three bedrooms, all equipped with windows and air-conditioning. Two bathrooms with shower are one in the living area and the other in the sleeping area. A third bathroom and a fourth bedroom are located in the independent annexe, just below the terrace and closer to the pool.
At 5 minutes walk from the house is Nicolosi, a vibrant village known as the 'Porta dell'Etna' that offers numerous restaurants, shops and sports facilities and is a must for those who wish to explore the largest volcano in Europe. In other words, you will have everything you need and more without ever having to take the car. Also, directly from the villa, a very nice path enriched by fruit trees leads to the top of Mount Mompilieri with a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Catania.
When you are ready to leave Nicolosi and the wonders of Etna, with 20 minutes drive you can reach Catania with its baroque buildings, the ancient fish market, the shopping streets and a fine sandy beach. With just one hour drive, you will find Taormina, a world-class and elegant town, considered by many to be the pearl of the Mediterranean, and Siracusa, a fascinating and timeless town, with a romantic promenade and an ancient Greek theatre that cannot be missed.
Whether you want to enjoy the Sicilian summer from a cooler and more privileged location or dream of skiing in winter on the snow of Mount Etna, Villa nel Monte is without a doubt one of the best holiday homes in this part of Sicily.
Other details to note: In a room on the first floor, the single bed is a 160 cm children's bed. The price includes a set of linens and bath towels per person. On request, it is possible to arrange a transfer (for up to 7 people). However, we recommend that all our guests rent a car for their stay in Sicily.
The private pool measures 9 by 4 meters and it is completely fenced. The pool is open all year round.

Awesome place. You even have your "own" little Volcano next to the house. The house is one of the best I have stayed in. Literally, everything you can think of is provided including some food items and homemade Limoncello to start the vacation. Love to come back!

We had a completely fabulous stay for a family holiday at Giulia’s place! It was a beautiful location, in a great spot close to a lovely little village. There was lots of room for all of us, and we felt right at home straight away, in part due to the home-made treats Giulia had left for us which were all delicious! We had a bit of trouble with the internet while we were there, which we believe was a fault with the network, and Giulia and the team did their best to try and rectify this, though sadly we didn’t manage to use any WiFi throughout our stay which wasn’t ideal (but not our hosts’ fault!) As other reviews mention, there are dogs at neighbouring properties which are constantly loud, but again not something the team can help and once we put our earbuds in we were no longer bothered about it, so pack earplugs ☺️ The cats at the property were also delightful, and we would have taken one home if we could!! Overall we had a wonderful stay, and would recommend it to everyone.

A beautiful home through and through. Well-appointed with thoughtful touches from baby bibs to outdoor table linens made our stay truly feel like home. The grounds are so well kept and elevate the ambiance. The location was ideal for day tripping to different areas around Sicily and perfect for walking into town for dinner. Our family of 8 was comfortable and enjoyed our week's stay - would return!

Lovely stay, any questions we asked of the host were answered very quickly to messages. Nice welcoming touches of homemade cake made by the host which was delicious, and we were left some other goodies which was a lovely touch! Villa comes with its own collection of cute cats and three young kittens. They were very lovely and friendly but kept trying to get into the villa, however there are insect doors to keep them out. The location was very good and the villa and garden were beautiful and well looked after. We’d highly recommend staying in this villa.

This was one of the best Air B&B experiences I have ever had. The host was extremely kind and responsive. The space was large enough for all of us to have our own space but still be together. The outdoor amenities were beyond my expectations and the surroundings were beautiful! I would definitely stay here in the future!

The host and her daughter Lidia went above and beyond to help us out with our requests for information etc. Highlights for us were the tour of Mount Etna with Lidia and visiting the many beaches Sicily has to offer. Great house and great location for exploring and dinners etc. Thank you for having us.

Fantastic villa with everything you could want for a relaxing holiday, clean plenty of outside space and a beautiful clean pool. Lidia was easy to get hold of and recommended a couple of tour companies for us, we used one of her recommendations, Etnalcantara, and the tour was good. Lidia's mother met us at the villa and showed us where everything was and how much to feed the cats! It really is a short walk into town for bars, restaurants and a small supermarket. Would certainly stay here again.

This house is absolutely wonderful. It has enough space, is very nicely furnished and the garden is very large. We immediately felt at home and enjoyed our time very much. We especially liked the open living area with the large table and the garden area. Everything was very clean, there were enough towels and there were a few cool drinks in the fridge. And this cottage has the sweetest roommate, namely a small cat, which is incredibly cuddly and trusting. We definitely recommend this accommodation. Thank you very much for the hospitality.

Katia and Toti are really great hosts for such a luxury place. They took care for everything, great equipment, very good self made food such as pie cake, saisonal fruits and Jam. They were reachable at any time and they kept in the background at the same time. The house is absolutely the same as in description and pictures. It is very stylish and tasteful furnished. Very child-friendly as well as our almost 3-years-old confirmed????

Many thanks to Katia and her daughter Lidia for the most amazing experience I have ever had in a rented holiday home. I travel a lot and I am used to rent luxury properties around the world, and I can confidently say that this property was by far the cleanest, best equipped I have ever experienced. The welcome was something else, a freshly baked home made cake and several local products were left for us to enjoy... Katia and Lidia were the perfect hosts, so kind and friendly. We had an amazing time and we will certainly be back. Thanks thanks thanks.

A very spacious and relaxing house. The pool is just great and is cleaned regularly. There are plenty of toys for children. The house is fully equipped and is in good condition. The garden is planted green and very large. But the hostess is the highlight of the house. A wonderful helpful and warm woman who is available around the clock for questions and support.

Our stay was amazing from the moment we got there. The house had everything we needed and some necessities left for us including a lovely cake. Plenty of room for 5 of us in the house. Felt very comfortable and homely. It also felt very secure. The outside was very well maintained with the lovely pool, lots of umbrellas and sun loungers. A lovely big outdoor table which we often used in the evening. The cats were very friendly and being cat owners we made friends easily! Nicolosi 10 mins walk with lovely restaurants and bars. With only a week there, it went very quickly as we went to Mount Etna, Taormina and Catania. Easily accessible with the car. We particularly enjoyed the days at the villa with the pool and peaceful surroundings. Guilia was great with any questions we had and Toti was around to make sure the pool was cleaned and cats fed. I would highly recommend this villa for a peaceful, private and relaxing holiday with family and friends. Thank you Guilia and Toti!

Villa Bel Monte is a beautiful villa. The owners were wonderful to work with prior to our stay as during our stay. We were greeted upon arrival. There was a homemade cake as well as fruit and beverages. The grounds are beautiful. The villa is very comfortable and easily accommodated 3 couples and 2 single adults. The location is in Nicolosi which is within walking distance of the villa and offers some outstanding restaurants, patisseries and grocery stores. The airport in Catania is about 25 minutes from the villa. The kitchen is well equipped and organized. The beds and showers were comfortable. We would not hesitate to rent at Villa Nel Monte again!!!

Villa Nel Monte is one of the best properties we have stayed in, as a family of six grown-ups. The large kitchen-diner lends itself well to family lunches and dinners. The annex allows the more sedate in a group to escape early in the evenings if they need to. Bathrooms and bedrooms have everything you need and are well designed. Seating areas outside and the private pool are excellent. The photos do not do it justice! If you are seeking a luxury Villa, fully equipped with everything you need, within view of the majestic Etna, this is the one for you. Host Lidia and her family also make sure you are comfortable and the welcome food and drinks are delicious! Also, very important, great aircon, and plenty of land surrounding the Villa to assure your privacy.
