Villa in Capo D'orlando with 5 bedrooms sleeps 10

Villa Zenzero – Your private estate in the Sicilian hills
Capo d'Orlando, North-Eastern Sicily – Full description (approx. 2000 words)
Perched on the green hills of Capo d'Orlando, where the hills gently slope down to the Tyrrhenian Sea, Villa Zenzero is a timeless residence that embodies the dual essence of Sicily: its aristocratic grace and its wild naturalness.
Built in the 18th century and carefully restored to harmonise history with modern comfort, Villa Zenzero is a 450-square-metre estate designed for luxurious living, slow rhythms and curated experiences.
From the moment you pass through the gate and drive down the driveway lined with citrus and carob trees, you feel like you are retreating and reconnecting with yourself. It is not just the view of the sea stretching towards the Aeolian Islands or the silence among the olive groves, it is the architecture itself that welcomes you. High ceilings, historic fireplaces, sunny terraces and period tiles create an atmosphere where comfort is both understated and abundant.
