Villa with Private Pool & Stunning Views on the Coast & Etna - 22 Sleeps!

Immense three floors villa with different indoor styles to satisfy any taste. Exceptionally bright livings combine effortlessly with amazing outdoor spaces such as two stunningly panoramic terraces, a nice shady garden from where to enjoy a splendid view of the volcano Etna and a stylish palette-shaped pool, ideal for adults as much as for children, and open all year round.

If you are travelling with a big group search no further. The villa can comfortably host up to 22 people while ensuring everyone's privacy and everywhere WiFi.

Villa del Cavaliere Grillo is located just outside the village of Trecastagni, a cute village 15 km from Catania and 10 km from the coast of Acireale). The villa is at the end of a dead end street where you can safely park your cars.

The ground floor of the villa consists of two apartments connected together by a huge living room that leads to the pool.
Both apartments have each three bedrooms, a living room with access to the pool, two bathrooms and very well-equipped kitchens with dishwasher meant for the primary cooking (the villa has other 2 more kitchens).
On this floor there is also a 5th bathroom.

You can access the first floor from either an internal staircase or an external one.
It will open in front of your eyes like a huge cosy space with several wooden features, a fireplace and access to a poolroom and to the panoramic terrace that continue all around the villa.
On this floor you also find 2 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and a basic kitchen with access to the terrace.

On the second and last floor you’ll have an open kitchen with access to a second terrace, two double bedrooms (one with an additional single bed), two bathrooms and a comfortable living room.

In Villa del Cavaliere Grillo you will have plenty of space to relax and eat together inside and outside. For your entertainment there is a pool table, a table tennis, an elastic band trampoline and a basketball hoop.

The village of Trecastagni, perched on the south-eastern flanks of fascinating Mount Etna, is a perfect gateway for exploring not only the looming volcano but also its many interesting towns and villages. There are a great number of excellent walks in the area and many very good restaurants. Coming down from the mountain there are many visits to be made: Taormina, Catania, the Alcantara Gorge and, slightly further afield, Siracusa. Nearby: visit Acireale and the fisherman's villages Santa Maria La Scala and Aci Trezza (10 km) both have pebbled beaches and a small port with vividly painted boats and good restaurants. In summer the villages become a seaside destination for the islanders who enjoy diving off the wooden platforms into the cool Mediterranean waters.

N.B.
We advise all our guests to rent a car for their stay in Sicily.

The private pool is open all year round. The longest part of the pool is 18 m, while the largest part is 8 m. The smaller side of the pool is 80 cm deep therefore it is perfect for children. The rest of the pool goes from 1.20 m to 1.80 m deep.

The villa was spacious and provided ample opportunity to socialize in the common areas or enjoy quiet time with a book elsewhere within the villa or on the grounds. The pool and grounds were outstanding. Our group of 18 adults thoroughly enjoyed our 8 night stay there and thank our hosts Andrea and his wife for a most memorable time.

A great place for large parties. Lovely pool with views of Etna and the sea. Car hire was worth doing particularly if you want to swim in sea and for some of my less mobile friends getting to restaurants.

We had an amazing time at the villa. It was so spacious and had amazing entertaining areas. The garden and outdoor area was also much larger than expected! Andrea was very friendly and gave us a helpful tour of the villa during checkin. Would definitely come back again in the summer to make use of the pool!

Fantastic house for a family reunion for myself and seven brothers and sisters plus partners and close friends. Close enough to the village of Trecastagni to walk for coffee, groceries and dinner. Would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a large home to accommodate a big group. Thanks for an amazing stay!!

My family of 17 ppl stayed here for a week and it was the best location, views and setting for us all to reunite with plenty of space and appartments that could be sectioned off or open - a huge pool area to enjoy! The hosts did an amazing job in meeting us for check in and had great communication ensuring our stay was comfortable. The town with shops and restaurants were only a short walk away making it very easy to get around - highly recommend staying here and with a car you can drive around to all the tourist spots very easily.

We had such a lovely stay in this Villa. Communication was perfect and very friendly, and the house is very spacious. The pool area and the view from it was the highlight. I can recommend this Villa to be taken for a larger group. You have your own space, but can always come together in the community areas like the pool. Had an awesome 30th birthday there.

the house is great, truly great with lots of space and a gorgeous pool. with 3 kitchens, i could cook for my group with ease. my only objection is that it was so hot and with no screens on the windows, we could not open anything without mosquitoes eating us alive, so i would recommend screens so we could open windows safely. otherwise, a great house and a great place.

A wonderful place to stay
The villa is superbly situated within easy walking distance of the lovely little town, with its bars, trattorias and food shops. The villa is very spacious, delightfully furnished, and ideal for a large group (there were 13 of us). It felt like a much-loved real home, not just a holiday house. It has magnificent views down towards the coast and up towards Mt. Etna. The gardens are secure and well-maintained, with plenty of shade from mature trees. The pool is large and clean, and ideal for a good swim each day. The owner, Andrea, was welcoming and charming, and he and his lovely wife provided us with two excellent meals of typical Sicilian food. We all felt very relaxed, and would love to return.

We were 22 people and this house have great space both in- and outside. Pitty that it does not have a big kitchen, now it is four small. The two bedrooms on the top floor is rather warm. Only one bedroom has aircondition the rest have good fans. It is great with so many bathrooms The pool is great and the view is fantastic !

We came to stay for a work away week with a group of 14 adults. There was plenty of space and lots of bedrooms so never felt cramped. A highlight was the view and outdoor space. There is an amazing view from the terraces and pool looking out. The kitchens and living space had all of the amenities needed for the stay with well stocked kitchens in terms of utensils. The wifi connection was good across the ground floor too. It was a quick walk into the town with local restaurants and lots of supermarkets an easy drive away. Check in was very easy and Enzo was a great help over our trip with any questions. Would definitely recommend staying.

Review for stay from 23 December 2023 to 30 December 2023
The villa was excellent, just as described and pictured, for our December trip with a group of 15, ranging in age from 9 to 80, with lost of space to either congregate or to find privacy. -The host/owner met and oriented us to the workings and history of his house. He and his wife provided an excellent buffet dinner on our first night, with plenty of delicious food left over. -The walk into town takes somewhat more than 10 minutes, and is gradually uphill all the way which did not deter the younger folk. -With a car there is easy access to Etna, Catania, Taormina and Syracuse, closer attractions, groceries and restaurants. -A minor disappointment, told to us in advance: the swimming pool was not working. The younger folk, determined to swim, were able to get a dip in the Mediterranean. A minor seasonal (?) annoyance was intermittent smoke from a nearby pit of smoldering bush and tree trimmings. -Overall, a great place to stay with a group - highly recommended!

Great choice for a family trip
Eighteen of us enjoyed 10 days in this lovely, welcoming home. Ages ranged from 6 months to 82 years and we loved the way the home can be segmented into mini-apartments for sleeping babies and adults needing quiet time. At the same time the two large apartments on the lower level are roomy enough for all 18 to visit or enjoy a meal together. The pool was a big hit with the children. At one end is a shallow niche for younger kids and older kid have lots of room to swim and play. There is comfortable seating for the adults around the pool in either shade or sun. Because our family includes a number of avid soccer players we were thrilled to find lots of room in the yard for futball as well as a basketball court. Balls as well as toys for the smaller children were provided. This is a very child friendly home and even included a crib for the baby. Adults have many comfortable spaces to visit in either large or small groups. We enjoyed the location. On the square in Trecastagni is an inviting fruit and vegetable market and also a “bar” serving delicious varieties of gelato. We found several restaurants for eating in or take out and also enjoyed a dinner prepared by the host and his wife. From this location we were able to enjoy day trips to Taormina, Enna, Siracusa, Catania, and Agrigento. I am happy to recommend this home to others. The host is pleasant to deal with and the accommodations comfortable as well as beautiful.

Family reunion
This House gave us the most perfect way to celebrate all 17 of us, ranging from 72 years old to 8 years old. The house was comfortable and clean the yard was magnificent. The pool, the swing, the grass yard to play soccer on, the basketball, court and ping pong table, entertained the children every day. We enjoyed Andre and his wife who cooked us two of the most delicious dinners also. The grandchildren tell us this house was the best part of their vacation. We all loved this beautiful home away from home. Thank you!

We stayed at the end of May with family ranging from children, teens, parents and grandparents and all really loved this Villa. The house is lovely and pool is large and clean with stunning views. The teens enjoyed the table tennis, pool table and basket ball court. Near to a nice village with some good restaurants. Guilia and Enzo were really helpful and friendly hosts. We all really enjoyed it and would recommend it.
