villa vita bella

General

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 traditional Sicilian 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 about four kilometres away.

Location

A large marquee in the grounds is sometimes used as a centre for various ceremonies such as wedding receptions and birthday celebrations. The friendly owner lives on-site. Furnished shared swimming pool measuring 12m x 6m and 1.5m x 2.8 in depth and the nearest beach is 3 kilometres away if more natural bathing is sought. Covered eating area. Double electric gates allow access. Ample parking. Own private, and covered, outside eating area and barbecue.
