About this villa rental
EXCLUSIVE SPACE FOR YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY ALONE - CONTACTLESS AREA, FAR FROM CROWDS, ENSURES BEST SAFETY AND COMFORT HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE.
Immerse yourself in an aristocratic Sicilian Villa... Enjoy the view of an expansive citrus nursery, let the 252 days/year Sicilian sun kiss your skin on a large terrace with Etna volcano to your right and the Mediterranean sea to your left, enjoy the shade in the English garden while kids and friends play by the fun private pool and BBQ area, let the hot Jacuzzi bubbles massage your senses, opt to dine typical Italian cuisine in the cozy and spacious traditionally Sicilian furnished home, and explore all of Sicily thanks to the strategic 10 min distance from highway. Whatever your desires, the Villa is the best exclusive space for your unforgettable holiday with your friends and family!
EXTRA INFORMATION ABOUT THE VILLA: This exclusive former aristocratic property is a recently renovated Villa that hosted a winery. Nowadays, the property is immersed in a 10,000 square-metre citrus grove and plant nursery. Catania has the most hours of sunshine of ANY city in Europe, making our Villa an ideal destination all year, where to enjoy lovely Spring, Summer and Autumn days. Located near Riposto, the property is 30 minutes drive from Taormina and Catania and only 1 km from a lovely pebble beach. The property exclusively available to the renters is endowed with a private swimming pool, a garden, a beautiful terrace, 4 big en suite bedrooms and sea-facing kitchen and living room.
The tall lofty trees provide plenty of shade for relaxing in on hot days or you can cool off in the swimming pool if you prefer. By the pool there's a dressing room and bathroom too. Another corner of the garden houses a large stone patio with dining table, table tennis, BBQ and a fridge. An external staircase leads to the first floor where the spacious interior consists of a kitchen, dining table and a sofa corner with comfy couches and armchairs and an adjoining terrace with great views of the sea and Etna beyond, a gazebo and dining table. Three double bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and a small toilet are on this floor too. A spiral staircase leads up to a loft, where there's a large child-friendly bedroom with three single beds and a bathroom. On the ground floor – with a separate entrance – are the housekeeper's apartments who take care of the garden and can provide 24/7 assistance in case of need. Next to these are the storerooms and the old winery ("palmento")- no longer in use, it serves as a "private museum" on the past of Sicily.
The villa is exclusively to the usage of the renters, including all its premises (the garden, the swimming pool, the patio, the terrace and all the internal area).
We will be available to give tips on the area, trips and other services.
The house is easily accessible from the main Sicilian highway (Messina-Catania), exit Giarre or Acireale. It is an approx. 30 minutes drive to Taormina, Catania, Mt. Etna and not far from other popular destinations including Acitrezza, Alcantara, Aeolian Islands' departure port, Agrigento, Siracusa, Ragusa, and the paradisiac beaches of the South East of Sicily.
The villa is available for rental on a weekly basis.

I wanted to share my experience at the villa I recently stayed in. It was truly exceptional – the best I've had so far. The villa was impeccably clean and offered stunning views. The pool was also a fantastic addition.Furthermore, the hosts were incredibly helpful, and their restaurant recommendations led us to some absolutely lovely places to eat.Thank you, Vera, for a wonderful stay. I would rate it 10 stars!Sincerely,Warren

I stayed at the villa with my sons and daughters-in-law in celebration of my 60th birthday. Vera and Francesco greeted us and showed us around the beautifully preserved villa and immaculate property. We enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi and especially loved eating meals on the veranda with spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea and Mt. Etna. The hosts had a delicious fruit platter as well as water, juice and coffee upon our arrival. I highly recommend this villa and hope to return again in the near future. Grazie mille!

After much planning and anticipation, we made it to Sicily for a two week trip to explore our heritage, and to experience the the people, sights - and of course, the food!
We began in the Palermo area with a swing through Enna culminating in our visit to the Etna area and our stay at Villa Praiola which was a highlight.
Communications with our hosts prior to arrival were prompt, detailed, and friendly. Upon arrival, we were greeted like family. After a complet walk-through & tour, and a very interesting account of the villa's history, our hosts left us with a lovely fruit basket and a supply of staples to get us started.
The villa was spotless. Everything is in excellent working order. The kitchen is well-stocked for cooks.
During the booking process, our hosts recommended a local chef who made a very special dinner on the last night of our stay.
Situated inside an agricultural area just outside of the small town center, the villa is easy to find and access. All around - including a portion of the villa property, are wholesale nurseries which makes for a unique setting. Except for a few periodic work trucks, and a lighlty used road to which the villa backs, it is peaceful and spectacularly situated between the sea on one side and Mt. Etna in the distance on the other. The grounds are full of lemon trees, and the pool and hottub were well maintained and ready for use.
I can highly recommend Villa Praiola if you want to make some wonderful memories in Sicily!
