Step back in time at this beautifully refurbished historic villa near Capo d’Orlando on Sicily’s north coast, while still enjoying the benefits of contemporary comfort. Perfect for two families or a group of friends, the high quality 5-bedroom villa is surrounded by luxuriant gardens, with a heavenly lagoon-style pool and hot tub, and sea views across to the Aeolian Islands.
The villa is a wonderful retreat for all the family. A pool, board games and an idyllic hide-and-seek garden are guaranteed to keep the kids happy. Parents, meanwhile, can enjoy the luxury of finding breakfast laid out each morning (on request), and basic cleaning services provided.
Unsurprisingly, the highlight of the 3.5-acre tree-filled parkland is the pool area, with its delightful natural setting amidst trees and rocks, a lagoon-style pool with gently shelving water, and a jacuzzi. Elsewhere in the garden, you can pick fresh fruit and vegetables from the trees and vegetable garden, stroll through wisteria-clad walkways and retreat to a choice of terraces and hideaway nooks and crannies immersed in the greenery. The two principal terraces, on the ground and first floor of the villa, both have sea views.
The spacious villa is set on two floors. Original stone walls and arches have been retained, but all the bathrooms and the two kitchens are completely modernized. There are guest toilets on both floors. With a beautiful original fireplace and excellent central heating, the villa is a welcome retreat during the winter months, while air conditioning keeps it cool during the summer.
Ground floor: This is the main sleeping area, with 4 of the 5 double bedrooms. All are ensuite and 3 have direct access on to an outdoor patio. As guests inevitably spend most time outdoors during the summer months, the living space – a living room and kitchen - on the ground floor is more compact.
First floor: A wonderful retreat during cooler months, the first floor comprises a large living/dining room with access to an expansive terrace, and a very spacious modern kitchen. The ensuite master bedroom is on this floor.

The area
The villa is a short drive from Capo d’Orlando, an attractive seaside resort with a long sand and shingle beach and a traditional promenade that extends alongside the beach, with a cycle path. The town is small, but has a good selection of restaurants, bars, shops and gelaterie. Visit Capo d’Orlando’s iconic lighthouse, at the northern end of the main beach, and take a sunset stroll to the ruins of the 17th century Castello di Orlando.
You’ll find a good selection of local beaches, some with lido-style facilities, which are generally quieter than Sicily’s most popular beach resorts, such as Cefalù. Amongst the best are Spiaggia San Gregorio which has crystal clear water and views of the Aeolian Islands, and Testa di Monaco.
Public ferries run from nearby Milazzo to the Aeolian Islands. Alternatively, for a memorable day out, ask us about chartering a private boat tour of several of the islands.
For an alternative glimpse of Sicily, head away from the coast and into the Nebrodi mountains. Visit the picturesque villages of San Marco d’Alunzio or San Fratello or check out some local activities such as wine tasting or hiking excursions.
