About this property

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.

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.

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.

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.

On request it is possible to reserve a transfer (up to 7 people).

The private pool measures 9 by 4 meters and it is completely fenced. The pool is open all year round.

Well appointed base for Etna exploration

Villa Nel Monte was a great property with lots of character and different spaces to enjoy. Hosts were communicative and welcoming. The location is a short ~20-30 min drive to key locations around Etna, and very close to vineyards. We chose it for it’s location a little out of Nicolosi, but it was an easy (although not on pavements) 10 min walk into the town for dinner, drinks, or late-night gelato! Domestic dogs do bark as you go by, but that’s normal for the type of area. The barking kept some of us up the first night, but I think we got used to it. The kitchen had everything we could need, including incredible welcome gifts including a homemade cake, olive oil, limoncello, and a huge basket of blood oranges in the fridge! The house came with a cat (outdoors) and its kitty friends, which my son loved, but someone with a cat allergy might find challenging if they want to spend a lot of time in the garden. Overall we had a great time and happily spent a whole day just at the Villa. With swings, see-saw, pool, table-football, etc there was plenty to keep everyone busy! Thanks to the hosts for a great stay!

This was the perfect spot for our family vacation in Sicily! The location was very central for quick trips to Taormina, Siracusa, Etna. The home is amazing … beautiful grounds, lots of gathering places in the gardens, on the decks, near the pool. The space is open and clean, comfortable and full of everything we needed. The bedrooms are all very comfortable, 3 large full bathrooms, and the kitchen is a wonderful place to cook. The large dining room table was the perfect gathering spot for our group at the end of the day. Guilia was in communication with us the whole stay, giving helpful recommendations and responding to questions. Her mother welcomed us when we arrived and left us with a yummy tart, a bottle of homemade limoncello and other treats. … and yes, there are sweet kittens on the property who made our stay even more special. What more could you need?? Do not miss this property if you are traveling to Sicily!

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.

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!
