Villa Scozilia is located on the slopes of Mount Etna and enjoys fabulous views across the countryside to the coastline and Taormina. Set in immaculate gardens, it is a joy to wander the grounds and enjoy the wonderful pool and tennis court. The nearby village of Presa can be reached by foot and has a small grocer store and pizzeria (many guests never get any further, Villa Scozilia is a little corner of paradise). Compared with touristy Taormina and Giardini Naxos, the small villages of the slopes of Etna have a real feel of Sicily.
Mimosa is part of the main house and entry is into the living room / kitchen. The kitchen has hobs, oven, fridge and freezer. The living room is large and has a dining table. There is a double bedroom and a twin/double bedroom and two bathrooms, one with a shower and one with a small bath. Directly in front of the Mimosa there is a large terrace which is fully equipped for outdoor eating and enjoys views across the pool and fantastic views towards the coastline and Taormina.
Within the grounds there is also a superb tennis court for the guests use (cement surface), rackets and balls available.
If you do decide to venture out, there is plenty to see and do. Drive to the top of Mount Etna and explore this amazing volcano. Drop down to the coastline and have a day on the beach, nip into Taormina and marvel at the Greek amphitheatre. However we believe that Casa Scozilia is so comfortable and the grounds so inviting that most of your time will be spent at ‘home’ with a good book and a bottle of wine.
The charming owner meets you upon arrival and she has a house in the grounds, she stays during the weekend and lives and works in Taormina during the week.
I have been really impressed by the professional yet personal service that we have received from all of the staff at Essential Italy - in 26 years of booking family holidays, I have never experienced such a first rate, comprehensive service. Thank you, once again, for all of your help with our booking, including the car hire (everything was what we’d asked for) and the English to Italian translations for my son’s peanut and nut allergy (absolutely invaluable). Please pass on our thanks to Ian, too, for taking the time to visit us and for the very welcome bottle of wine!
