    Description

    A charming country house located in a rural and beautiful setting with wonderful views over the Sicilian sea and the Aeolian Islands. Set in three acres of peaceful countryside and surrounded by olive groves and fruit trees, Villa Anna enjoys a secluded hillside setting, offering the ultimate in privacy and relaxation. One kilometre away from the picturesque village of Serro, the villa is an ideal base for exploring the attractions of Eastern Sicily and only 5 minutes drive from the beautiful beaches of Ortoliuzzo and Villafranca Tirrena.

    Immersed in the green of Sicilian hills and boasting the superb panorama of the Tyrrhenian coast, Villa Anna is a secluded country house providing the perfect way to mix countryside and sea (only 2 km away). The villa is perfect for a family holiday "away from it all": life here follows the gentle, sweet rhythm of the seasons, an ideal environment for those looking for peace and quiet, breathtaking sea views and somewhere to unwind after a hard year’s work.

    The villa is on two levels. The front entrance takes you into a spacious open hall including dining and sitting areas with wood burning fireplace. Off this living area is a good-size and fully equipped kitchen, with access to the shaded veranda and the garden. The ground floor also features a double bedroom with queen size bed and a bathroom with shower. Some stairs take you to the first floor which is home to a sitting area with sofa-bed, a double bedroom with queen size bed, a bedroom with twin beds and a bathroom with shower. The two bedrooms boast spectacular countryside and sea views. The interior is fully furnished with a warm and simple decor. Air conditioning is fitted in the three bedrooms and in the living area.
    The secluded outside space includes a barbecue area and a wooden pergola (with direct access to the kitchen), which is ideal for al-fresco dining while taking in the breathtaking views across the garden, the countryside and the sea. The front garden, filled with Mediterranean plants and trees, features a sunny sitting area with spectacular views and dramatic sunset over the Tyrrhenian sea (on a good day, all seven Aeolian Islands can be clearly seen). The surrounding private grounds of over 8000 square meters are filled with olive groves and fruit trees including a vineyard…. there is always fresh fruit to be picked, whatever the season!

    Note: the villa enjoys a secluded location and car hire is therefore strongly recommended. Ample and secure parking is available within the estate.

    Location description

    Villa Anna is set in a quiet haven yet close to the spectacular beaches and attractions of eastern Sicily. Just 5 minutes drive (2 km) down the hill are the coastal towns of Villafranca Tirrena, with its sandy beaches, shops and restaurants, and Ortoliuzzo with its beautiful sandy beach. Here you can sunbath or swim in the crystal-clear warm waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea which make swimming pleasant from mid-April through October. The villa is within easy driving distance from the breathtaking sandy beaches of Milazzo (25 mins drive) and Tindari (35 mins drive), with its extraordinary sandy “tongues” (a sandbank stretching 1.5km into the sea which is now a nature reserve). Just past Tindari is the charming seaside resort of Capo d'Orlando, with its magnificent sandy beaches and turquoise waters, while the stunning Aeolian Islands are only a short hop on the hydrofoil from Milazzo, making it ideal for a day trip.

    Apart from the beaches there are numerous attractions within easy driving distance of the property including the stunning medieval town of Taormina (40 mins drive), Tindari (35 mins drive), one of the most interesting archaeological sites in Sicily, with its magnificent Sanctuary and Greek-Roman remains, the Nebrodi nature reserve (1 hour drive) with its wonderful walking routes and unspoiled hill towns. Also very easily accomplished are day trips to the charming Cefalů and to Mount Etna volcano, which are a little over 1 hour's drive away. A visit to the small hill-top village of Serro (a 10 mins walk from the property) will give you a unique opportunity to sample rural Sicilian life as it has been lived for centuries.

    Owing to its ease of access to the motorway (2 km), the villa is ideally located to explore eastern Sicily, including Tindari with its lakes, Sanctuary and Greek-Roman remains, the picturesque fishing village of Cefalů, the charming Milazzo and Capo D’Orlando with their stunning beaches, the medieval town of Taormina, Mount Etna volcano, the Aeolian Islands, the hill towns of the Nebrodi nature reserve and the UNESCO-protected baroque towns of Siracusa, Modica, Ragusa and Noto… thousands of years of history in one island!
