About this property

Villa Due Leoni is a charming villa on two floors with private pool and garden situated on a lemon estate halfway Catania and Taormina and at only 1 km from the sea and the village of Riposto, where you can find fresh fish every day.

The garden has been transformed into a real paradise with palm trees, perfect lawns and an orchard with all kind of fruit trees. From the terrace and the pool (10 x 10 meters, 140 cm deep) you can enjoy a stunning view on the coast and on Mount Etna, often puffing. The pool is open all year round.

"[T]his villa is truly on top of what we have experienced so far. Idyllically located in lemon plantation, Mt. Etna towering to the west and the Mediterranean sea to the east. The unspoilt village Riposto within easy reach by foot with several restaurants and local shops. Within short driving distances you even reach some of the most "necessary" attractions”. HH, Norway, October 2016

Villa Due Leoni consists of:
- Ground floor: a huge living space with dining table, sofa bed, lounge and fireplace, separate kitchen and toilet. From the living and the kitchen you can access the garden.

- First floor: three double bedrooms, a large corridor / bedroom with two bunk beds (four sleeps), two full bathrooms, and a huge terrace with view of the Etna and the sea. Stairs connects the terrace to the garden below. The terrace has a veranda with a big dining table.

All in all, Villa due Leoni is a peaceful and authentic Sicilian villa, ideal for friends and family who wish to explore the Eastern side of Sicily.

Please note that a caretaker lives in a separate part of the property and completely respects the privacy of the guests.

Absolutely beautiful very large property

Our family of 5 stayed in this beautiful property for 8 nights in the beginning of June. The house was extremely large and scrupulously clean. It had a wonderful outdoor terrace where we had the pleasure of eating all of our meals overlooking the beautiful Mount Etna on one side and the ocean on the other. Our children were constantly in the pool. The owners were wonderful and very hospitable bringing us big plates of fruit and wine but also really respected our privacy. Absolutely lovely people. Would highly recommend this property. You wont be disappointed!

Wonderful large holiday home

We stayed at the villa for a week in mid January. It is incredibly spacious and well appointed. The terrace has spectacular views of Mt Etna on one side and the Mediterranean on the other. There are two kitchens, with one leading onto the terrace which was very handy. It was reasonably cool whilst there and we loved using the fireplace, with the additional gas heater keeping us warm. It was a very large house for two of us, and there is plenty of room for a family. The owners were extremely generous, even taking us to the supermarket on our first evening. We truly loved staying there.

Schönes Anwesen mit Pool

Das Haus liegt malerisch inmitten eines Zitronenhains. Die weitere Umgebung außerhalb des sehr großen Grundstücks ist etwas lieblos.

Villa Due Leoni

The house was more rustic than expected, and it would have been nice to know a caretaker liver on site. Not a problem, but it would have been nice to know. View of Mt. Etna was stunning, and the pool was maintained well. Surrounding area was a bit intimidating, and the entrance gates took some work. But overall, a nice place and very attentive hosts.
