About this property

Country villa with private pool, large garden

Villa Edera is located on the south-eastern flanks of Mount Etna just a few minutes outside the charming town of Trecastagni and easily reachable from both Taormina and Catania.
Designed and built by a prominent French architect, the villa has high vaulted ceilings, cool airy arches, colourful antique furniture and extensive landscaped garden.
The house is on three floors. From the main entrance, up a few steps, one accesses the entrance hall. This leads in turn to a dining room and then onto the extremely spacious living area, complete with fireplace and large French window accessing the beautifully tended gardens. The well-equipped kitchen opens onto a wonderful flower-covered patio area.
Room description: A ramp leads down to a lower ground floor bedroom with a single, a twin bedroom, bathroom with shower and in a guest bathroom. In the first floor there are three double bedrooms and one single. Two of the doubles have en-suite bathrooms (one with shower and tub, the other with tub only), while the third shares a bathroom with shower with the single bedroom. The gardens are beautifully Tended, with large expanses of perfect lawn, trees and Mediterranean plants and flowers Perfumed. The pool is wonderful and Surrounded by shady lawn areas.
Park and swimming pool: The gardens are beautifully tended, with large expanses of perfect lawn, Mediterranean trees and plants and perfumed flowers. The wonderful pool is surrounded by lawn and shady areas.
On the spot it is possible to have information on excursions, restaurants, bars, night life.
Villa Edera is situated in a panoramic position between Mount Etna and the sea, and is within easy reach of both. Taormina and Catania are both within about 30 minutes drive, and the nearest beaches are about the same distance away. The 18 hole Golf course Il Picciolo is an easy drive, and several of the traditional lava-stone villages on the flanks of Etna are well worth a visit. Many guests at Villa Edera, however, will be well pleased to relax in the stunning surroundings of the house, the gardens and the pool.
WE ORGANIZE BACK COUNTRY SKIING TRIPS ON MOUNT ETNA FROM DECEMBER TO APRIL

Beautiful Villa and Property
Our second visit as we also stayed at Villa Edera 14 years ago. Loved it as much the second time as the first and the addition of the pool was a wonderful bonus. It is huge! Architecturally lovely with beautiful grounds with trees, flowers and green lawns. Very comfortable living room and sitting room, big dining room and table that easily accommodated our multi generational group of 7. Great location as it was easy to get to Taormina, Catania and Syracuse plus other smaller villages. We thoroughly enjoyed our time . A memorable stay. Many thanks to our gracious host, Paul.

Wonderful and romantic Villa
We((9 adults) had a wonderful week in a wonderful house, even though weather was not so fine. The most friendly and helpful owner Paul compensated it with warmin up the heating. Thanks for carrying a lot of pellets immediatelly. From the beginning of booking the villa, we had a real good communication. The house was as pretty as in description. Clean, quiet, huge property with lovely fittings. We recommend it for great holidays in Sicily. Thanks a lot to the busy employees and especially to Paul!
