Sicilian Retreat: Pool & Garden

A Relaxing Stay on Etna’s Slopes
Set within a charming villa, this bright and air-conditioned apartment offers a peaceful retreat on the second floor, with a spacious terrace, private BBQ, and views of lush gardens.

A small vegetable garden is available for guests, and little ones are welcome with a cot and high chair provided.

Discover Sicily’s Natural & Cultural Treasures
Ideally located in Santa Venerina, this stay places you just minutes from some of Sicily’s top attractions.
