Country villa with private pool, large garden

Villa Edera is located on the south-eastern flanks of Mount Etna just a few minutes outside the charming town of Trecastagni and easily reachable from both Taormina and Catania.
Designed and built by a prominent French architect, the villa has high vaulted ceilings, cool airy arches, colourful antique furniture and extensive landscaped garden.
The house is on three floors. From the main entrance, up a few steps, one accesses the entrance hall. This leads in turn to a dining room and then onto the extremely spacious living area, complete with fireplace and large French window accessing the beautifully tended gardens. The well-equipped kitchen opens onto a wonderful flower-covered patio area.
Room description: A ramp leads down to a lower ground floor bedroom with a single, a twin bedroom, bathroom with shower and in a guest bathroom. In the first floor there are three double bedrooms and one single. Two of the doubles have en-suite bathrooms (one with shower and tub, the other with tub only), while the third shares a bathroom with shower with the single bedroom. The gardens are beautifully Tended, with large expanses of perfect lawn, trees and Mediterranean plants and flowers Perfumed. The pool is wonderful and Surrounded by shady lawn areas.
Park and swimming pool: The gardens are beautifully tended, with large expanses of perfect lawn, Mediterranean trees and plants and perfumed flowers. The wonderful pool is surrounded by lawn and shady areas.
On the spot it is possible to have information on excursions, restaurants, bars, night life.
Villa Edera is situated in a panoramic position between Mount Etna and the sea, and is within easy reach of both. Taormina and Catania are both within about 30 minutes drive, and the nearest beaches are about the same distance away. The 18 hole Golf course Il Picciolo is an easy drive, and several of the traditional lava-stone villages on the flanks of Etna are well worth a visit. Many guests at Villa Edera, however, will be well pleased to relax in the stunning surroundings of the house, the gardens and the pool.
WE ORGANIZE BACK COUNTRY SKIING TRIPS ON MOUNT ETNA FROM DECEMBER TO APRIL

A beautiful family house in tranquil and private grounds just as the photos show you!
We all loved our stay at Villa Edera. We were a family group of 11 aged 73 to 5 years. The house catered for us perfectly giving us spaces to be together and spaces to find peace. We all loved the gardens, ideal for children especially the football nets. Picking lemons and apples was a joy. Spying on the Bats in the shed! The pool is lovely and much needed in the extreme heat! The kitchen has all one needs with an adjacent patio and large table for evening meals and BBQs. Staggered breakfasts were had on the patio outside the huge living room and lunch was under trees on a King Arthur size Round Table! Local shopping is easy on a daily basis to get everything fresh and there is a great supermarket La Zagara a few km away. The Villa is close to many beautiful towns and villages. We took the cable up Etna which is a must. Fascinating. We visited Siracusa, Taormina, Zafferana Etnea, Castiglione di Sicilia and the gorges of Alcantara. Paul was extremely helpful before our arrival with my endless questions and indeed whilst we were there and made everything very easy for us. Thank you both for a wonderful visit!

The property is beautiful and very well maintained. Paul, the owner was helpful and most attentive.
This property is somewhat isolated if you do not have a car. The beds and sitting rooms were very comfortable. My only suggestion is to improve the hot water situation, it takes a long time to heat up and was never really hot. Overall, it is a lovely home with beautiful gardens, very peaceful.

Beautiful Villa and Property
Our second visit as we also stayed at Villa Edera 14 years ago. Loved it as much the second time as the first and the addition of the pool was a wonderful bonus. It is huge! Architecturally lovely with beautiful grounds with trees, flowers and green lawns. Very comfortable living room and sitting room, big dining room and table that easily accommodated our multi generational group of 7. Great location as it was easy to get to Taormina, Catania and Syracuse plus other smaller villages. We thoroughly enjoyed our time . A memorable stay. Many thanks to our gracious host, Paul.

Wonderful and romantic Villa
We((9 adults) had a wonderful week in a wonderful house, even though weather was not so fine. The most friendly and helpful owner Paul compensated it with warmin up the heating. Thanks for carrying a lot of pellets immediatelly. From the beginning of booking the villa, we had a real good communication. The house was as pretty as in description. Clean, quiet, huge property with lovely fittings. We recommend it for great holidays in Sicily. Thanks a lot to the busy employees and especially to Paul!

Prachtige villa met enorme tuin
Dit familiehuis is een echte aanrader. Gelegen aan de voet van de Etna, een half uurtje van Catania. Het huis is groot en gezellig ingericht, met overal bloemen uit eigen tuin. Heerlijk zwembad en zelfs een voetbalveldje. De eigenaar is gastvrij en behulpzaam. Met twee gezinnen een heerlijke week gehad.
