About this villa rental
The villa lies in the countryside Estate in Taormina: Between Etna and the Sea
Set within an expansive family estate producing organic lemons, oranges, and olive oil, this villa-château offers a secluded retreat that remains strategically connected. It is located just 2 km from the coast and 7 km from the heart of Taormina.
The Grounds
The property is defined by its mature gardens and the surrounding citrus groves. The layout is designed for outdoor living:
Etna Views: The volcano provides a constant backdrop. On active nights, guests can often watch the eruptions directly from the garden—a rare vantage point.
Al Fresco Dining: A large gazebo (seating up to 30) allows for group meals overlooking the volcano, complemented by a dedicated barbecue area tucked into the lemon grove.
Pool & Solarium: A private swimming pool is set within the greenery, offering a quiet space for relaxation.
The Residence (Capacity: 16 Guests)
The estate has been restored to balance its historic charm with modern essentials: air conditioning, heating, Wi-Fi, and private fridges in every bedroom.
Main Villa
Ground Floor: Five double bedrooms (Queen or twin configuration), each with an en-suite bathroom. This floor also features a spacious living room with a stone fireplace and a large farmhouse-style kitchen.
First Floor: A twin bedroom with a convenient half bath, a library, and a private terrace facing Mount Etna.
The Guest Annex (Dependence) Located adjacent to the main house, this self-contained unit includes two double bedrooms, each with its own private en-suite bathroom. It also features a small kitchen/living area and its own private gazebo and garden area.
Location & Logistics
The Best of Both Worlds: This property is unique for its location; it offers the total peace and serenity guaranteed by the surrounding greenery and vast countryside, yet it sits only a few kilometers away from the vibrant energy and "effervescence" of Taormina.
Setting: The estate is located in the same region featured in the series The White Lotus, characterized by its mix of rugged landscape and coastal elegance.
Convenience: While the estate offers total privacy, the high-end boutiques and restaurants of Taormina are a 15–20 minute drive away.
Custom Services: To elevate the stay, a professional Sicilian cook and daily maid service are available upon request.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property with incredible views of Mount Etna. We were fortunate to have perfect weather, which made the most of the outdoor-focused space. Our kids loved the pool, and it was a perfect place to unwind after exploring. Our favorite moments were morning coffee and evening wine on the terrace, enjoying the stunning scenery.A few things future guests should note: the bedrooms are divided into three separate units, each with its own entrance and lock, and they are not connected. One unit has four bedrooms and a loft, another includes one bedroom and the kitchen, and the third has two bedrooms. This setup may be challenging for families with younger children. The key system was initially confusing but became manageable.The property is also a working farm, with staff present Monday through Friday. This surprised us at first, but they were respectful and did not disrupt our stay.A highlight was dinner with Maria—an amazing experience we highly recommend. The location is excellent, about 20 minutes from Taormina, with a grocery store nearby. A car is strongly recommended.Overall, our multi-generational group of 16 had a fantastic stay and loved our time in Sicily. Highly recommend Chateaux Lemon!

Our family just returned from Chateau Lemon, and "trip of a lifetime" is the only way to describe it. If you are looking at the photos and thinking it looks beautiful, please know that the pictures do not do this property justice.The grounds are absolutely breathtaking. We spent our mornings wandering through the lush lemon groves and among the vibrant flowering trees all while staring at an incredible, unobstructed view of Mount Etna. It felt like living in a postcard.The accommodations were wonderful and impeccably clean. We had a large group of 14, and the layout fit all of us easily without ever feeling crowded. The location is also hard to beat—it’s perfectly situated and an easy drive to both Giardini-Naxos and Taormina, giving us the perfect balance of secluded luxury and easy access to the local sights.What truly sets this home apart is the service. Mathilde, our on-site host, was amazing. She was attentive and helpful every step of the way. Even when we ran into a bit of bad luck with a flat tire, she was right there on hand to help us sort it out! The most memorable part of our entire stay was the dinner prepared by Maria. I cannot recommend this enough—it is a must-do! We ate incredible, authentic Sicilian food under the vine-covered veranda with Mount Etna glowing in the background. It was magic.Our family is so grateful for the memories we made here. This property was a huge reason why our trip was so special. I recommend Chateau Lemon 100%!

We had a fantastic stay. Communication was excellent in helping arrange transportation when needed and a couple of delicious meals served on site cooked by Maria. The property is charming and beautiful and very spacious for the twelve people we had in our group. We had the most wonderful time!

This villa was the perfect place to spend with family. It was the highlight of our trip to Sicily. Beautiful scenery, 2 pools, and highly recommend their breakfast and dinner options. Maria’s homecooked Sicilian meals were the best food on the entire trip. Nice and close to Taormina and Mt. Etna day trips. Excellent communication made check in and stay very enjoyable. Laundry onsite was a bonus.
