Tucked away behind high walls and gates, this villa provides for all your needs. The private, covered outside eating area has a barbecue and is surrounded by a mature vine-clad pergolato, lawned gardens, palms, cypresses, and all manner of tropical plants. Here you can enjoy al fresco dining, complete with a bottle of Sicilian wine. Double gates allow access to this villa, and there is ample parking available.
From the tree-lined main avenue it is just five steps up to the front door, which leads into the hall. Villa Vita Bella has a kitchen/diner equipped with a hob, oven and fridge/freezer. The sitting room is large and airy with satellite television. There is one ensuite double bedroom and one twin bedroom, both with pretty iron beds. The bathroom has a half-bath.
The shared, furnished swimming pool measures 12m x 6m and has a depth 1.5m x 2.8m. However, the beach is only 3km away for more natural bathing or simply a change of scenery.
Please note: the friendly owner lives on site and occasionally uses the large marquee as a centre for various ceremonies such as wedding receptions and birthday celebrations.
Arrivals after 20.00 hours will be charged at 50 Euros. There is a cot hire charge of 50 Euros per week, and a final cleaning charge of 80 Euros, both payable locally.
It feels like a village within a village, tucked away behind high walls and gates. Then a feeling of privacy pervades, though the outside world, in the shape of San Gregorio with its shops and restaurants, is just a walk away. And finally an air of exotic seclusion, provided by a coolly mature vine-clad pergolato, lawned gardens, palms, cypresses, a swimming pool and all manner of tropical plants. Within this enclave, various buildings, amongst which houses and a chapel, lead off from a shady tree-lined avenue, as does our single-floor house. For a wealth of 'foreign' diversion however, Sicily's second city, Catania, with its airport and palaces, many made from Mount Etna's black lava stone, is but four kilometres away.
