About this villa rental
Nestled in a lush 3,000 m² orchard at the foot of Mount Etna, this charming villa promises an unforgettable stay. Combining nature, relaxation and breathtaking views, this residence is ideal for those who want to escape from everyday life without sacrificing comfort and the beauty of the breathtaking views of Taormina and the Mediterranean Sea.
The House
The interior of the Vecchio Palmento, an ancient wine mill that has been skilfully restored, opens its doors to a refined 100 m² holiday home, perfectly embodying the combination of modern comfort and Sicilian authenticity. Guests can enjoy a spacious living area with a fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, a cosy bathroom with a shower, toilet and bidet, and two adjoining loft sleeping areas. The first has a comfortable double bed, while the second has a sofa bed that can accommodate two more people. Obviously, the property is ideal for a single couple.
Central heating and air conditioning (except in the kitchen) ensure maximum comfort in all seasons.
Outside, the villa boasts two panoramic terraces on two levels, connected by a charming spiral staircase. The upper terrace of 100 square metres offers a patio with a barbecue area, dining table and relaxation area, perfect for outdoor entertainment under the starry Sicilian sky. The lower terrace, measuring 40 square metres, invites you to relax completely with a mini-spa equipped with a panoramic hot tub, offering unique moments of peace between chromotherapy, aromatherapy and the surrounding nature. (Hot water for the hot tub is available on request.)

The proximity of the motorway also makes it easy to visit other places of interest such as Syracuse, Noto and many other villages rich in art, history and traditions.
For food and wine enthusiasts, Piedimonte is the starting point of the Etna Wine Route, perfect for discovering wineries, authentic flavours and typical Sicilian dishes.

The property is dripping with charm inside and out. The views are magnificent and the hot tub is an added treat. The owners are very involved and helpful. There is a lot of attention to detail. The location was ideal to tour this side of Sicily .

Clean, comfortable beads, working A/C when needed, affordable rental with wonderful views of Sicily’s East Coast, and Calabria. The Sunrise was breathtaking. Loved the history of the house.
We are a family of 3, stayed 6 nights during the hot summer, but it did not feel that hot, the weather is nicer staying up in the mountain, and surrounded by olive trees, grapes, and silence. We loved looking at the stars at night while enjoying the hot tub. We cooked every day, grocery store not far with everything we needed, very reasonable prices. Owner Aldo was kind and welcoming, always fast to respond and help.
Our best meal out was Brick Oven Pizza for dinner at Bar Caffe Nuovo in the town of Gaggi, recommended!!
Thank you so much Aldo and Rosa!

Sehr schönes Haus, genauso wie beschrieben. Es ist sehr gut ausgestattet und sehr gemütlich. Der Ausblick ist wunderbar. Waren in der 2. Oktoberhälfte da und wir haben es genossen, mit dem Kamin zu heizen und auch ansonsten ist es absolut ausreichend warm.
Außergewöhnlich nette Vermieter, guter, angenehmer Kontakt.
Sowohl die Wanderwege rund um den Ätna als auch das Meer sind mit dem Auto innerhalb von 15 Minuten zu erreichen.

Angenehmes Haus mit wunderschöner Terrasse mit Weitblick aufs Ionische Meer und die Umgebung. Am Abend das knisternde Feuer im Kamin. Im Herbst ist das Haus etwas kühl
