Castelmola Villa | Pool villa in peaceful location. Breathtaking views of sea, Mt. Etna & Taormina

3 Bedroom Villa in Castelmola, Taormina

'A magical retreat' as featured in The Telegraph (UK).
Welcome to your exclusive retreat in Sicily… Set 'away from it all' on a fabulous hill top position overlooking the sparkling Ionian Sea in the Mediterranean, the villa boasts breathtaking and unrivalled views stretching across from Mount Etna to the surrounding area of Taormina on the east coast of Sicily.
The villa is a traditionally built stone detached property, with air conditioning and its own private 'infinity edge' swimming pool and garden. Completely independent, the villa assures you total privacy. A large panoramic terrace and shaded patio, with a barbecue and woodfired pizza oven, offer ample ‘al fresco' dining space from which, at near 500 meters altitude, you will truly feel on top of the world.
Inside, furnished and equipped to a high standard, the villa provides and caters for the expectations of the discerning modern traveler, whether you are holidaying as a couple, family or with friends. The villa can accommodate up to 8 people (6 adults and 2 kids/teenagers), and has one family bathroom and a smaller bath/toilet.
The charm and attraction of the villa span from having the space and privacy to do whatever you please, at your own pace… to visiting the areas of Taormina, Castelmola and Giardini-Naxos, and local beaches all within a 25-35 minute drive. For sightseeing, Mount Etna, the Alcantara Gorge, Syracuse, the Aeolian islands including Stromboli, the villa provides an excellent and comfortable base in a rural and quiet location.
Whether it is tranquility, culture, sun, beaches, sightseeing or living 'la dolce vita' you are looking for, we welcome you.
Saluti,
Michael & Marianne
IMPORTANT: Info about the road to the villa: The villa is located 500 m above sea level, and is reached in 25 min. from the seaside town Giardini Naxos by a narrow, and in few places steep and quite bad asphalt mountain road. The road is not fenced. Some guests do not want to drive the road after dark, and are thus not able to go out for dinner, while others are totally fine with the road, And the reward is one of the best views on the island, once arrived at the villa. We offer optional "Meet & Greet" service on arrival day, for a smooth drive up to the villa.
In general, please note it requires good driving experience and a confident driver to negotiate the roads and traffic in Sicily,

Summary: truly breathtaking location and facilities.The host, Michael was very helpful, detailed and friendly.The road up the hill may put off some nervous drivers but the rough road insured peace and quite.This was not the sort of place to pop down the hill for dinner so catering had to be thorough and well thought out.

Helen S. Sep 2, 2024 09:04:05 PM

Summary: We loved our stay at Villa Etna Mare. The setting is amazing with the most wonderful views of Mount Etna and the coast. The villa is very well equipped with a great outdoor cooking area. The drive up to the villa is quite a drive! but the instructions from Michael meant that you knew exactly where you were and therefore didn't miss any turnings! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it. Michael, the host,was very helpful with any questions we had too about the local area.

Summary: We cannot express enough how much we enjoyed our stay at Villa Etna Mare. The accommodation is in an unbelievable spot. The views are just extraordinary. The bedrooms are comfortable. The kitchen has everything one could want. The outside area — not only the pool and chairs but also the patio / terrace dining room area are ideal for enjoying the relaxed holiday experience. The owners are exceptional in looking after the villa and its guests. We first stayed in the villa over a decade ago and this was our reprise. For sure; we won’t let it go so long between our stays this time. Indeed, we will be back! What can we say but we highly, highly recommend Villa Etna Mare. Absolutely Sublime!

Summary: Having just returned from our third stay in Villa Etna Mare, I can confirm that no matter how many times you ascend the hill to the villa it will never become less awe-inspiring. It is a truly unique outlook that will take your breath away upon arrival. Villa Etna Mare provides absolutely everything you need as a comfortable base to explore Eastern Sicily but it’s so good, and in such a great position, that you could simply lounge away multiple days enjoying the scenery. Everything you could need is present within the villa and all of a great standard; a rustic Sicilian feel with an incredibly well-appointed outside space to wile away the hours. Michael and Marianne are outstanding hosts, with a great knowledge of the area that they are more than happy to share with guests. The pre-trip information received via email, and correspondence throughout is incredibly helpful allowing people to build the perfect trip to Sicily. We will undoubtedly be back for a fourth time soon!

Summary: We spent very pleasant vacation in Casa Etna Mare. The view on the Etna and the swimming pool were excellent. Michael is a very nice and reactive host, always ready with advice. The only regret we have is the access road to the villa : 82 slopes and very bad road at the end. This made it impossible to go out by night. You really nead to have a good car and not a too low one. Should be mentionned more clearly in the advert.

Elaine W. Sep 7, 2023 02:42:00 AM

Summary: The views from the villa are truly spectacular! The villa has everything you could possibly ask for. Michael is an amazing host and very attentive. We would definitely recommend the “meet and greet” especially if arriving after dark as the road takes a little familiarisation. However the view from the villa is worth journey up. The pool was very welcome and pizza oven was great fun. We would recommend this villa to anyone, it’s a wonderful escape from everyday living. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Summary: We’re just home from a fabulous 2 week break at Villa Etna Mare. Michael was a superb host, always on hand and super responsive to our many questions to provide valuable advice to ensure we maximised our holiday. The final stretch of road to the villa is in poor condition and did put us off going out in the evenings. However given the views and tranquility from the villa we were more than happy to stock up on provisions, dine in and enjoy the vista.

Timothy S. Aug 5, 2023 10:52:06 AM

Summary: Great view...Mediterranean Sea all day long and Etna too. What a great property to just lay back and relax and take it all in. The property is exactly as advertised. The bedrooms stayed cool with each one having its own air conditioning unit. There is a constant breeze all day long which blows through the house keeping it relatively comfortable. The pool toys provided were a nice bonus for the children. We enjoyed our days lounging by the pool and evenings out wining and dining in the local towns nearby (Castelmola, Taormina, and Giardini Naxos). We slipped away for a day trip to the white beaches just south of Syracusa (~1.45 hrs) and also an overnight stay in Cefalu (amazing town and water). This house was simple and comfortable with a beautiful evening/night view of the sea and lights below through a large oversized glass window sliding door. The owner made it really easy to live in the home by providing just about every useful kitchen utensil you can think of. The washing machine works great as does the dishwasher. The extra refrigerator space was nice too. If given an opportunity, we would definitely stay here again.

Heather M. Jul 17, 2023 10:18:50 PM

Summary: Amazing house is an absolutely breathtaking location with views that are priceless! Michael is an extremely responsive and proactive host who gave us great recommendations for touring Mt Edna and restaurants by the beach!! The views are very much worth the windy drive up and time lounging by the pool! I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Stephen G. Jul 12, 2023 09:18:12 PM

Summary: The views from the villa were spectacular. The pool and gardens were lovely. The house itself was comfortable and appropriately equipped. However, you should note that the road to the villa is difficult to navigate - it's very narrow, steep and winding, with limited barriers and the condition of the road itself is very poor. If you are not a very confident driver or if your group includes people who do not do well with heights, this could be a deal-breaker. Furthermore, the realistic journey time from Taormina to the villa is 35 minutes plus. The journey time to any shops is 20 minutes plus. That does have the effect of being a very peaceful, tranquil place to be, with the great views, but you should bear that in mind when renting this place. What is maybe not 100% clear in the listing as well is that of the two bathrooms, one is a family bathroom upstairs, but the other (shower) room is downstairs and is also the downstairs toilet with limited additional space. So there is really only 1 main bathroom where you can put all your toiletries etc, so bear that in mind for your family group dynamics. Overall, we loved our time gazing out at the view, but given the challenges of reaching the location, would not return.
