Villa Scauzzina on the lakes of Ganzirri

Lying on the famous Lakes of Ganzirri and the legendary background of the Strait of Messina that once saw the passage of Greek galleys and the mythical Odysseus, a stone's throw from the volcanic Aeolian Islands, a few minutes from the city center, from the highway one hour from the charming Taormina, from the airports of Catania and Reggio Calabria, immersed in a unique landscape, in an oasis of greenery and peace, stands Villa Scauzina.
This is a Sicilian residence that extends over 5000 square meters of flat land, dating back to the mid-800 and strictly restored.
The dwelling overlooks several external panoramic terraces overlooking the Lahi of Ganzirri and the Strait of Messina; below, the swimming pool is set on 1000 meters of soft lawn, in the rich vegetation of palm trees, oleanders and olive trees, between beach chairs and shaded areas offered by equipped umbrellas and gazebos.
There is also the possibility, upon request, to taste the genuine traditional Sicilian dishes, cooked on site by the landlady.
The servants and the laundry service can be made available.

Villa et localité d'enchantement... à découvrir
Cette propriété resplendit de par son caractère historique et de son aménagement d'antan, tout en offrant des fonctionnalités d'une villa actuelle et une répartition très intimiste des espaces. Notre famille a été ravie de passer 14 jours dans cet environnement paisible, typique et véritablement enchanteur dans cet havre de verdure, avec double vues imprenables de la vaste terrasse richement aménagée sur le lac et la mer avec les palmiers en interface ... et en vis-à-vis de la côte calabraise en filigrane et les vues sur la côte messinese. Emplacement idéal également pour les visites à ne pas manquer notamment Taormina et les iles éoliennes. Parfois, un peu chahuté le soir, par les bruits des animations voisines mais très calme et ressourçant au demeurant. L'espace piscine dans son hameau verdoyant est relaxant et totalement à l'abri du reste en contrebas de la maison. A découvrir par les amants de moments privatifs en Famille, de typicité et d'authenticité locale.

Tolle Lokation mit phantastischem Blick
Wir (5 Erwachsene zwischen 20 - 54 Jahren) waren für 1 Woche in der Villa Scauzzina. Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Vermieterin. Sehr geschmackvolle dem Stil des Hauses entsprechende Ausstattung. Es fehlte uns an nichts. Sehr gute Möglichkeiten von Messina aus die Gegend zu erkunden. Wobei wir auch viel Zeit auf dem Anwesen verbracht haben. Für jede Tageszeit steht eine entsprechende Terrasse zur Verfügung.
