This villa is located 620 m above sea level, nestled among panoramic peaceful hills and a mass of pines, palms and olive trees near the slopes of Mount Etna. A pizzeria and trattoria serving delicious meals in typical Sicilian style is just 500 m away, as are a small supermarket, bars and restaurant, in the town of Presa. The nearest beach is just 10 km away, or a 20-minute car journey.

Guests arriving by car from Catania Airport should take the bypass (link road) to the Catania Nord toll-booth, the starting point of the Catania-Messina motorway (A18). Take this motorway and exit at the third turn off (Fiumefreddo di Sicilia). At this point, guests should call the owner again on the above number so that he can accompany them to the house.
