About this house rental
A completely independent country home built within a 19th-century property surrounded by lush lemon trees: an enchanting place, nestled between the sea and the volcano, where you can rediscover the rhythms of rural life from days gone by.
Converted from an ancient millstone, this warm and welcoming villa has been furnished with style and originality, restoring and adapting furniture and objects typical of rural tradition.
This characteristic Sicilian house sleeps up to 9 guests.
On the first floor, there are 2 double bedrooms (one of which also has a single bed), two full bathrooms, and a large living room with a TV.
On the first floor, you’re greeted by an ancient millstone that lends a typically rural atmosphere to the space, which includes a dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, a loft (open space) of about 70 square meters with a large living area (equipped with two sofa beds), a mezzanine with a double bed, and a bathroom with a shower and a dressing room.
Outside, nestled among the lemon trees, there is a large swimming pool (4x10 meters) and a spacious Aeolian-style patio overlooking the Ionian Sea—it is the ideal place to spend hours of endless relaxation, soothed by the scents of the nearby citrus grove and the soft sounds of the surrounding countryside.
The owners are available to assist you during your stay.
Cost of the heating system during the winter: €1.50 per liter for gas usage.
If the rental agreement allows for the use of the pellet stove in the outbuilding, the welcome bag is free; subsequent bags will be paid for by the guest.
To prevent excessive electricity consumption, the total rate includes electricity for “normal use” (hot water, oven, hair dryer, AC, etc.) up to 250 kWh per week; any consumption exceeding this amount will be charged at a rate of 0.30 euros per kWh.
Upon check-out, the owner inspects the house and verifies the electricity consumption.
Property for tourist rental pursuant to Law 438/1998, without the provision of services.

Thank you Luigi for some lovely days at this very beautiful historic winery!
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2018
Thank you Luigi for a nice week in your very charming old, creativ and functional house. He was allways there for questions. The place was overall very clean and especially the terase a highlight (inkl. wifi, outdoor shower). We recived friendly and good advised for restaurats in the area and our visit of the area Etna South, trips to the citys on the north and south. We felt, that the house was prepared with a very hugh attention to details!
Noteworthy is the not concreted way to the house, which also with a little (not 4x4) car was possible by driving very carefully. Also during our stay in the end of july there was every evening partytime and loud sound from a event location near the house. This didn't interroupt our sleep, but could other people.. We recommend this beautiful house to people who want to discover the East-Side of Sicily, the Etna and how would not feel disturbed about the fact that the owner lives next house nearly. Grazie Luigi!

This is the epitome of a wonderful place to stay and base your visit to eastern Sicily. Luigi and his wife have taken great care in furnishing this charming home – using all first class linens, dishes, glassware and pots and pans. Where some will use a mish mash of left over items it is clear that Luigi has taken care and thought in furnishing this home. The view of the sea and Mt. Etna is spectacular; you can pick fresh lemons from the trees right outside your patio and enjoy the quiet of the countryside while being well within driving distance of all the sights. Luigi loaned us his GPS that he had loaded with the most direct route to Mt. Etna, Tourmina and Syracuse as well at the best place to get brioche and granita.
Luigi was available to give us insight into the area and we took advantage of the offer to provide a welcome basket (we made a great pasta diner from the basket) and breakfast basket (we hardly need to buy anything else), we also drank the wine from his vineyard every night as well as his lemoncello. And if needed there is a huge grocery store within 2 km from the house. The only draw back is that it is located on a remote and unpaved road so we did not feel comfortable coming back after night. This was compensated for by eating a larger lunch and cooking dinner at “home” using the well stocked cooking utensils and dinner ware so we never felt we were at a disadvantage.
This is a wonderful part of Sicily with many historical spots to see – Mt. Etna, Piazza Armenia, Syracuse, Noto, Tourmaina are all were well worth the visit.
We appreciate Luigi’s hospitality and would unreservedly recommend this charming place in the countryside.

This place is so wonderful that I almost don't want to write the review so it can stay our little secret! As you can see from the photographs the house has been carefully designed by the couple who live next door. The kitchen, house and bathroom already has everything you would want for a stay and is set up very well for self catering, we ate in every night we were there and had breakfast sat outside every morning which was lovely.
The hosts are warm and friendly, there when you need them but also allowing you to get on with your holiday. Thank you Luigi and Perla for being such lovely hosts.
The house is located in a semi rural location (you would need a car) but is very well located for exploring Etna and the coast. I really could not recommend this place more!
