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.

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!

Fantastic villa for our extended family holiday
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.

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.

a great house with lots of room, but...
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.

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.

Amazing house in an amazing location
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.

Amazing space! Lovely property run by a lovely family
What an absolute delight this property was. We were four separate families all travelling with grown up children, 17 of us in total. There was so much space and independence for each family. The villa is on 3 levels with living space divided into 4 areas plus large communal spaces. The outside pool and surroundings were wonderful, with glorious views down to the sea and to Etna puffing away to the left. The owners, Enzo, his son Andrea and all their family, were perfect hosts. Very accommodating to any requests we made and very quick and courteous in replying both before and during our visit. In fact we arranged for Andrea's wife to cook and deliver a beautiful Italian banquet, including wine, for us on one night, for a very reasonable price of €25 per head. The villa is approx 25 mins away from Catania and within 5 mins walk of the local village (Trecastagni), which had a good few restaurants and small convenience stores. Our main shop each day was done at Lidl's, a 10 min car journey. We stayed during the last week of July and although air conditioning is only in one room (we didn't need to use it), the property remained cool throughout, with fans in all the main rooms, if needed. We would recommend a day trip to Taormina and a visit to its stunning amphitheatre for some wondrous history and amazing views, you won't be disappointed. Park in the main car park before you enter the town and walk (5 mins) or use the free courtesy bus into town. We had an unbelievable time at the villa and couldn't recommend it highly enough. Thanks to Enzo, Andrea and their family.

Great villa for a big family / group of friends
Spacious villa with large grounds and a fabulous swimming people owned and managed by a very friendly and helpful family. We all loved our week here and enjoyed the villas' layout and individual style of each floor and living area. Our only disappointment was that the kitchens (there are at least 4) are all quite small and the electricity supply is not sufficient to have more than one oven on at any one time.

Great blend of privacy and room to gather as a group
Very well maintained property in a good location, but you must have a car to move around. Convenient to shopping and good access to highways, 20 (no traffic) to 30 short minutes from the airport. Dealing with the property managers prior to arrival was very easy and the owners greeted us warmly upon arrival. Everything was in top shape, including the yard and beautiful swimming pool, in this very spacious and well appointed house (actually four “apartments “ in one property). We used a daily cleaning service and it worked out perfectly for us. I highly recommend this property for multi-family vacations, or large group of adults. It offers space and privacy, but also plenty of room to gather as a group. Thanks Enzo and Andrea for the hospitality!

Good to excellent - a large, well-equipped property - spacious, with fantastic views.
We stayed here with cousins and friends from all over the UK and from Australia. Excellent facilities with 2 kitchens on the ground floor and I each on the next two floors. Towels and linen provided. Lovely garden and pool (if a little cold in May!). Close to the village centre and plenty of places to see and visit. Stunning view of Etna and of the Sicilian coast. You need a car to go sight-seeing or to get to the beach. Local restaurants can be expensive but buy local products and cook at home - much cheaper and totally delicious. Fresh pasta is a must! We had a great time there and would recommend it to groups and families.

Fantastic space and views
This was a special holiday for our large family of 22 and this accommodation did not disappoint - plenty of room inside and out. Great garden, well maintained, room to hide from the sun or to worship the sun! Perfect pool for all the family. Great views out to the Ionian Sea with Etna looming in the background. Just watch out for the cannon firing on Sunday morning, no ones under attack, just the Church's way of getting people up and to church! This is an older house and a few glitches here and there, but Enzo was very helpful and provided prompt assistance with any needed maintenance. This house now holds many fond memories in our hearts. We are so glad we found it.

Outstanding villa in the foothills of Mount Etna
This villa is outstanding and the owners have thought of every need. It really was a aluxury experience. The villa has beautiful views of Mount Etna and out to the ocean. The local village has a lively square with plenty of restaurants, supermarket, bakery, butchers and ice cream parlours. The villa is a great base to explore the region. The villa facilities are really excellent with wvery thing you can imagine catered for. The pool is spacious and refreshing. There are several kitchens and living rooms. We were one family of 7 children and 10 asdults and we had more than enough space with ensuite bathrooms and lovely bedrooms. We visited in mid August when the temperature was +30c, the rooms were well ventilated and the villa was a perfect temperature. It was easy to find the villa about 35 mins from Catania airport with most of the drive being on the motorway. Washing machine, dishwasher and lots of kids toys to entertain the youngsters. We would walk up into the main square from the villla (10 mins walk) and eat at one of the restaurants there. The villa is about 30 mins drive from the cable car for Mount Etna so that was an easy trip. We also visited Accis Castello, the beach at Catania, Acci Trezza and Taorminha - all easy drives from the villa. We had excellent communication from the owners who were only too eager to help make our stay perfect. This is a villa not to miss. A great holiday.
