Home description
This fine villa is located in the northern part of Sicily. Precisely in one of the most enchanting and suggestive part of the region, where sandy beaches meet imposing cliffs which skillfully wind along the coast, as only nature could do, eventually diving into the clear waters of the Thyrrenian Sea. The building is made unique by the surrounding natural scenario, which provides an almost idyllic atmosphere. Being situated very close to the beach (only 50 mt), it allows, from its terrace, a breathtaking view of the crystalline sea and of the Aeolian Islands archipelago.
The house, plunged in a wide garden (about 5000 sq. mt) amid olive and eucalyptus trees, offers large spaces in the shade where to spend pleasant moments in the utmost quietness, enjoying at the same time the surrounding suggestive scenery. From the large garden one can have direct access to the shiny sandy beach, lightly touched by the warm and clear waters of the sea. An ideal frame to this oasis of peace and rare beauty are the mountains belonging to the Parco Naturale Dei Nebrodi, covered by a thick Mediterranean vegetation. In the evening, on the terrace, possibly dining by candlelight, one can feel a unique sensation: the sea breeze from a side, and the rumbling of the waves from the other.
Not far, and therefore reachable with a short walk, there is the lively small town of San Giorgio of Gioiosa Marea, in the past a fishermen's village. Here you will find several bars, pizza parlors and restaurants where you can taste the typical specialties of the island.
The villa is provided, besides, with fine and extremely tasteful antique furniture, which make the atmosphere particularly warm and comfortable. Inside, the property is divided into two semidetached houses with separate entrances: the largest has, in the ground floor, an entrance hall, a living room, a dining room with kitchen and a bathroom with shower - while on the first floor there are two double bedrooms, one twin bedroom and a bathroom with shower. The second has, in the ground floor, one large living/dining room with kitchen and, on the first floor, a double bedroom, a twin bedroom and a bathroom with shower.

The Sicily region
The particularity of Sicilia is the numerous interests it presents. Indeed, this mysterious and entrancing island, does not simply offer sea, sun and art, but absolutely everything, in abundance, to fulfill all the expectations of the tourist. Counseling a season in Sicilia has no sense, because the climate is uniquely mild even during the periods, in other places, the cold winter reigns. It is not a surprise that Homer called it « The Island of the Sun ». The Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans and Arabs have scattered numerous and fantastic treasures of art whose diversity and richness are unique. « Without seeing Sicilia, one cannot get a good picture of what Italy is. It is in Sicilia that the key of everything can be found. » (Goethe 1787).
