Here you have a superb view on the Alcantara valley and a refreshing pool beneath the shadow of a fig tree. Villa Idyllica is located right on the foot of a rocky hill. Following a path, you can reach its summit and enjoy an even superior view. It is also likely that you’ll see the four horses of the owner of Villa Idyllica running freely in this unspoiled scenery! The villa consists of a main building and an adjacent annex. The main building is about 110 m2 on 2 floors. On the ground floor there is a large living room with adjoining fully-equipped kitchen, including oven and microwave. A staircase leads up to the sleeping area with three bedrooms and a bathroom with bathtub with shower and a washing machine. The annex, which is about 40m2, provides you with an extra kitchen, a second bathroom and a fourth double bedroom on a mezzanine. You can access it from the outside, right next to the entrance of the main building. A garden full of Mediterranean vegetation surrounds the villa and, under a centuries-old olive tree, provides you with a great place for barbecues. Villa Idyllica is ideal for a relaxing retreat and offers a genuine version of Sicily that is truly family-friendly. The first restaurant - the excellent Paradise Restaurant - is within walking distance (400 meters) and without spending much time in the car you can reach the stunning sandy beaches of Giardini Naxos, Taormina, the impressive gorges and ravines of the River Alcantara and, of course, Mt Etna and all the picturesque villages, as well as prestigious wineries and vineyards on its flanks. 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 private pool measures 3x6 m and it is 1.20 m deep. \===== ACCOMMODATION DESCRIPTION ===== The main building is about 110 m2 on 2 floors.

Blessed with plenty of space, a pool and two sweet horses, the property is a great place to chill for a week and only 20 mins from Taormina and 40 mins from the Etna hike. Bear in mind that the property requires a drive down a steep dirt track for access so a small, mobile car is recommended! Great stay! ##### George M.

An amazing relaxing place with fabulous views. The house was great and the garden also with shaded areas and a welcome pool- Mimmo and Francesca are lovely and responded immediately to small queries- we loved the horses who appeared when we arrived back from a days trip. The surrounding villages are worth exploring , lovely bakeries, butchers, fish shops, and some great restaurants. The Paradise restaurant just up the road was a favourite.

It is the perfect place to relax and especially to enjoy holidays with kids. The house is not only beautiful but also spacious and perfectly equipped. We enjoyed breakfast at the pool with fresh orange or lemon juice from the trees in the garden, loved to watch the horses and the stunning view over the valley and anjoyed nice BBQs including night swims. We had such a great time that we just loved to stay there all day but the house is also quite close to the Alcantara river and not too far from the beaches so there are a couple of things to do near by. I can totally recommend this place and would love to come back another time! ##### Kirsten F. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Ariston & Palazzo Santa Caterina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Ariston-Palazzo-Santa-Caterina.h54117.Hotel-Information) > > [Isola Bella Infinity Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Isola-Bella-Infinity-Suites.h31731914.Hotel-Information) > > [Acacia Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Campofelice-Di-Roccella-Hotels-Acacia-Resort.h2102724.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Hotel Terre di Eolo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Patti-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Hotel-Terre-Di-Eolo.h17928807.Hotel-Information) > > [Baglio la Porta di San Gerardo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Vito-Lo-Capo-Hotels-Baglio-La-Porta-Di-San-Gerardo.h11675581.Hotel-Information) > > [Sicilia's Residence Hotel Art & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aci-Catena-Hotels-Sicilias-Residence-Hotel-Art-Spa.h5334773.Hotel-Information) > > [Eurostars Monte Tauro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Eurostars-Monte-Tauro.h913571.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Calette Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cefalu-Hotels-Le-Calette-Garden-Bay.h858621.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Kalura](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cefalu-Hotels-Hotel-Kalura.h1617800.Hotel-Information) > > [Al 33 Giri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cefalu-Hotels-Al-33-Giri.h46222804.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Olimpo Le Terrazze](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Letojanni-Hotels-Hotel-Olimpo-Le-Terrazze.h2032211.Hotel-Information) > > [Costa Verde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cefalu-Hotels-Costa-Verde.h897883.Hotel-Information) > > [Almar Giardino di Costanza Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mazara-Del-Vallo-Hotels-Giardino-Di-Costanza-Resort.h1095179.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Daphne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Giardini-Naxos-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Daphne.h1766367.Hotel-Information) > > [VOI Arenella Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Syracuse-Hotels-VOI-Arenella-Resort.h1633512.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Sonia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castelmola-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Sonia.h1498740.Hotel-Information) > > [Nautilus Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Coast-Hotels-Nautilus-Hotel.h36871038.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Palladium Sicilia Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Campofelice-Di-Roccella-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Sicilia-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2032217.Hotel-Information) > > [VOI Marsa Siclà Essentia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scicli-Hotels-VOI-Marsa-Sicla-Resort.h3748979.Hotel-Information) > > [Calanica Residence Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cefalu-Hotels-Calanica-Residence-Hotel.h2130274.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mediterranee](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Mediterranee.h1455759.Hotel-Information) > > [Mangia's Pollina Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pollina-Hotels-Pollina-Resort.h20451228.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ashbee Hotel - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-The-Ashbee-Hotel.h4209909.Hotel-Information) > > [HOTEL VILLA CARLOTTA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Villa-Carlotta.h1397632.Hotel-Information) > > [Taormina Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Taormina-Park-Hotel.h1713485.Hotel-Information) > > [Cefalù Sea Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cefalu-Hotels-Cefalu-Sea-Palace.h44392828.Hotel-Information) > > [The Signature Level at Grand Palladium Sicilia Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Campofelice-Di-Roccella-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Garden-Beach-Resort-Spa.h42025780.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Angela](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Villa-Angela.h1583026.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Miramare](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Miramare.h1207656.Hotel-Information)
