Villa del Barone

Basic information

Villa del Barone has been newly refurbished in 2008 but its roots are as a country manor dating   back to 1870. It is located on the northern slopes of Mount Etna and nestles   within an active wine and olive estate of 27 acres, 15 of which are vineyards   completely surrounding the villa. These vineyards contribute to the beautifully   scenic landscapes visible from the villa; the Volcano, the dark soil, volcanic   lava flows and the nearby villages perched on mountain tops also add their part   too. Villa del Barone is very strategically positioned. The Picciolo Golf   Course and the picturesque villages of Castiglione di Sicilia, Linguaglossa and   Piedimonte are just 10 minutes drive away, while the beaches of Taormina and   Giardini Naxos can be reached in less than 30 minutes.  Villa del Barone features a swimming pool with perfectly tended lawns around it   and a hard surface tennis court. It is composed of the villa itself and an   attached annex with two more bedrooms. Notable are the villa’s antique wine   cellar and olive oil storage facility (located at semi basement level), and a   newly built roof top terrace which is the ideal venue for evening dinners and   al fresco drinks. Villa del Barone is very tastefully furnished in a sapient   combination of modern and antique style. The Villa has air-conditioning   throughout and on request guests can be pampered by attentive local cooks and   other staff. Nearby villas Alloro and Nocetta (both of which sleep 4) can   accomodate extra guests up to a total of 20.   For smaller groups (maximum 8 persons), why not take a look at Villa del Barone   B.
