About this house rental

Authentically restored country-house oozing charm of an idyllic past amidst a delightful hilly landscape. Here you have a superb view on the Alcantara valley and a refreshing pool beneath the shadow of a fig tree.

The villa consists of a main building and an annex.
The main building is about 110 m² on 2 floors. On the ground floor there is a living room with adjoining fully-equipped kitchen. A staircase leads up to the sleeping area with 3 bedrooms and a bathroom with bathtub with shower and a washing machine.
The annex, which is about 40 m², provides you with an extra kitchen, a second bathroom and a fourth double bedroom on a mezzanine. You can access it from the outside, right next to the entrance of the main building.

Villa Idyllica is located right on the foot of a rocky hill. Following a path, you can reach its summit and enjoy an even superior view. It is also likely that you’ll see the four horses of the owner of Villa Idyllica running freely in this unspoiled scenery!

A garden full of Mediterranean vegetation surrounds the villa and, under a centuries-old olive tree, provides you with a great place for barbecues.

Villa Idyllica is ideal for a relaxing retreat and offers a genuine version of Sicily that is truly family-friendly. The first restaurant - the excellent Paradise Restaurant - is within walking distance (400 meters) and without spending much time in the car you can reach the stunning sandy beaches of Giardini Naxos, Taormina, the impressive gorges and ravines of the River Alcantara and, of course, Mt Etna and all the picturesque villages, as well as prestigious wineries and vineyards on its flanks.

SURROUNDINGS

The Alcantara Valley is one of the lushest valleys of Sicily thanks to the presence of the Alcantara River that supplies irrigation water to the many citrus orchards cultivated in the area all year round. Even during the hot and dry Sicilian summers, the Alcatara Rivers remains ice cold, providing to all its visitors with fresh relaxing moments. You can simply wet your feet and peacefully lying down on its beaches and on its rocks, or doing fun activities such us tubing excursions or exploring the river with its lava-stone walls and waterfalls by hiking or by riding a horse.

The Alcantara Valley is a truly strategic base from where to explore the Eastern side of Sicily. The charming town of Taormina, its vibrant coast and coast villages (30km of beaches from Fondachello to Sant’Alessio Siculo), Mt Etna and its authentic villages are all very close by.

If you are a wine-lover you cannot miss Castiglione di Sicilia, a nearby village known as ‘the city of wine’ (‘Città del Vino’) for its famous vineyards and wineries.

The private pool measures 3x6 m and it is 1.20 m deep.

A lovely rustic farmhouse in the countryside. Peaceful quiet and relaxing. The access road is uneven but this is the countryside. Mimmo was amazing We had a problem with our car and he spent his Sunday locating the part required and getting a local garage to open and repair for us . What a gentleman

We had a wonderful stay at this place, located in a beautiful natural area with no neighbors nearby. It was very peaceful and quiet, like a little paradise. We loved the horses, which added such a great vibe to our stay. The road to the villa seems rough, but it’s not as bad as it looks. We had a station wagon and still managed to get there without any problems. Mimmo and Francesca were very friendly and answered all our questions quickly. The bed was super comfortable, and I felt just like at home. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves nature and peace.

The villa was everything we had hoped for. An authentic home in a stunning location. A place we could relax and reconnect with our family and enjoy the beauty, warmth and good food that Sicily has to offer. Mimmo was on hand to solve any minor issues very quickly and his beautiful horses kept us company throughout the day! We fell in love with the rustic charm and truly enjoyed every minute we spent there. Thank you
