Panoramic villa with private pool

Stylish contemporary villa in the heart of the unspoiled Alcantara Valley boasting a private panoramic pool.
Villa Alcantara is a superb retreat: exquisitely peaceful surroundings, fully air-conditioned and at only 10 to 15 minutes drive from the renowned beaches of Giardini Naxos and about 30 minutes from Taormina.

Perched on the side of a mountain, the villa offers a wide view on the luxuriant landscape. A modern arch design set on the edge of the 50 square meters terrace will help you frame a mental postcard of the surroundings that will be difficult to forget!

You access the bright living area from the terrace. Thanks to the wide sliding doors, the gorgeous spectacle of the nature around you will accompany your every daily gesture, while relaxing on the sofa or having breakfast on the dining table. The well-equipped kitchen and a satellite TV with a DVD player will make you feel right at home. On this floor there is also a practical toilet.

The sleeping area, with three double bedrooms, is on the floor below and it is connected internally by a marble stairway and externally by a second stairway leading directly to the pool. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a Jacuzzi. The other two bedrooms, (one of which also features a bunk bed), have access to a beautiful 'hammam’ style bathroom with natural light coming through the remarkable skylights. Finally, there is a laundry room and a handy outdoor shower, ideal in the summer returning from the beach.

Villa Alcantara is… totally the favourite set for exclusive holiday seekers!

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 house is fantastic! The pool is lovely, and the scenery amazing. A perfect spot to stay if you want to go on trips to various small villages on the east side of Sicily. Highly recommend :-)

Excellent place to stay for a family holiday. Private, peaceful and close enough to nearby towns and attractions. The pool especially was a standout. Hosts were communicative and provided helpful instructions and recommendations. Having a car is a must, but it is well worth the trip up the hill to the accommodation. Would definitely recommend!

Stunning home in a beautiful location. The design is really something to behold. The surrounding area is remote, wild and beautiful. The pool is lovely and the views are unmatched. A couple of good restaurants nearby and bakeries and grocery shops in the town below. It’s a great jumping off spot away from the noise of Taormina, but still easy to go for a visit. Also close to many excellent wineries on Etna.

10/10

Loved it! Giuseppe - the villa caretaker - was lovely, helpful and informative. The villa is exactly like the pictures - modern, great equipment and a fantastic pool and outdoor space with great views. The bedrooms - particularly the master - are spacious and cool (because they’re downstairs). The beaches, Taormina, The Gole Alcantara are all within a 20 minute drive, but there are so many places to visit and things to do - Etna is a must!

Property was good. Owners were great and responsive. View from villa is lovely. Locally there is just the nearby resturant that is very nice but we thought menu limited and also pricey. Most days we went into Tao which is fabulous. You just need to accept the 30 min drive each way.

Beautiful modern villa with the best view. Hidden path and small forest roads to go there, a Jeep would be to prefer. The indoor interior is basic but we had everything we could ask for. The outdoor garden is amazing with a large pool and several sun beds. Our stay at this house was just great, beautiful location close to nature and all the vineyards. Good communication with the host. Only thing we didn’t like was that the furniture and carpet was drowned in perfume, good to know if you are allergic. Thank you for a great stay in Sicily.

Stayed with our two adult sons and Nephew. Great base for touring .house is really special unbelievable views, wonderful to wake up to each day. Great sunsets from the deck. The nearby restaurant paradise does a wonderful job and it’s just a short walk down the hill. You really feel like you were in the country in a secluded space but you can easily be by the seashore for shopping and lunch. We would love to try the house in season. House manager was very attentive dishwasher broke and was replaced within a day on Easter weekend. We cooked Easter dinner at home and were able to enjoy some family time.

Ideallic house with breathtaking views. House is very well equipped and comfy. Far lovlier than the pictures can give credit. Great access to the Alcantara Gorge and a lovely restaurant close by. Giuseppe, the key holder, was very helpful and passionate about the local area. Road leading to the property is a little hairy but to be expected given the remote location. It is essential to have a car staying here as amenities are a drive away. Bit longer than 10 minutes to get to Taormina. Showers were a bit temperamental but again, this is to be expected in Sicily, especially for a property in the mountains. Giuseppe was always on hand and available to support. A wonderful stay and we would highly recommend it.

We had such a great holiday - I can't recommend it highly enough! The villa itself is just amazing. The architecture is stunning - a really unique place that offered peace and quiet along with great facilities and a perfect location. Situated a 5 minute drive from the main road up a dirt track (a vehicle with high clearance is recommended) it is isolated but with easy access to gaggi with several bars, cafes and shops and its just a 40 minute drive to beautiful Taormina. Giuseppe was a great host and I can thoroughly recommend spending the day with him visiting etna (he was very knowledgeable and took us on a great hike) and then wine tasting - well worth the money and a superb day. There is a restaurant at the bottom of the dirt track called paradise which is worth a visit and I can also recommend the pizza making class in Taormina. Thos property would be ideal for 2 or 3 couples or 2 families who want to be close to plenty of activities but have a tranquil place to themselves. We loved it!

Superbe, la maison, le lieu ..... quelle chence d'avoir pu séjourner dans cette maison idéale ! L'étage avec la piscine est commun on y vit tous ensemble, les chambres en sous sols sont lumineuses malgré tout et super confortable surtout la suite parentale avec la superbe salle de bain . On a adoré ce lieu paisible ..... Deux petites remarques, l'escalier esthétiquement magique qui descend au centre de la piscine nous à un peu effrayé avec les enfants, mais il est très visuel, peut être qu'un petit filet sécuriserait le risque de chute ....? L'accès par un chemin assez rustique interdit l'accés en voiture base, mais ces deux détails ne nous empècherons pas de revenir dans ce lieu de quiétude et cette maison très agréable à vivre. Guilia nous a gentillement proposé de rester une matinée de plus, car les hotes suivant n'arrivaient pas de suite ..... bref super adresse .... super acceuil .....

Etwas schwierige Auffahrt, mit VW Golf aber machbar. Hin und wieder Besuch von einem harmlosen und netten Pferd bekommen. Pool war sehr sauber mit Top Aussicht.
