About this property

Ancient villa on the slopes of Etna in the historic center of Trecastagni

On the slopes of Etna volcano, there is a wonderful villa ideal for your holidays.
This ancient building, which dates back to the early 1600s and completed after the 1669 eruption, is located in the historic center of Trecastagni and is halfway between Taormina, the volcano, the Ionian sea and Syracuse.
The property offers the opportunity to stay in a unique environment in absolute privacy and relaxation. There is a large well-kept garden and there is the possibility of organizing slow food and tasting through a good wine list, lunches or dinners in an ancient cellar created by reusing old barrels. The cellar has a large fireplace made using an ancient barrel. All this gives the structure a warm, unique and welcoming atmosphere. The ancient villa currently has two apartments. Each apartment has two double bedrooms. The first apartment has a sofa bed in the room with fireplace, plasma TV with satellite, and wi-fi. The second bedroom is represented by a large living room where there is a double sofa bed so that it can be transformed from a large bedroom into a convivial area. There is a large bathroom in the middle area between the two bedrooms. The rooms are furnished keeping period style and furniture using objects and paintings of absolute historical value and artistic value. The second apartment consists of a lounge, two large double bedrooms and a bathroom. In common to the two apartments there is also a typical kitchen equipped with all comforts. The whole structure is equipped with an independent heating system. Plasma TV, satellite TV, Wi-Fi. There is also the possibility of requesting an air port shuttle service, and a personalized guide for excursions to tourist areas and Etna.

Fast wie ein Museum
Sehr weitläufige Villa, großzügige Räume. Mit viel Liebe zum Detail ausgestattet. Schöner großer Garten. Hellhörig und durch die enge Strasse laut vom Verkehr.

Bezauberndes Ambiente
Einzigartiger Aufenthalt in dieser wundervoll eingerichteten Wohnung mit ganz viel Charme. Der Garten lädt zum Träumen ein. Beim nächsten Versuch den Äthna aktiv zu erleben, werden wir ganz sicher wieder dort wohnen wollen.

One magical night in Trecastagni
We had a fantastic experience! There were 6 of us traveling and exploring Sicily. We had already spent 3 nights in Palermo, 1 night the Valley of the Temples at Villa Athena, 3 nights in Ortigia, Syracusa and wanted to find an overnight near Mt Etna for our day excursion on the volcano. I came across this villa in Trecastagni and read the reviews. Everyone was so complimentary about the property and how beautiful and interesting it was. In the description it mentioned that a wine dinner could be arranged in the properties wine cellar. It seemed like a fantastic idea. I got in touch with the property manager Naomi and she put together a fantastic and truly memorable evening. The chef (Tommy) was so engaging and a superb chef that introduced to many traditional Sicilian dishes. The night was an unforgettable experience and the villa was so lovely and intriguing. I would definitely recommend it to anyone passing that way!!!!!
