The
Property
Villa Levante is a lovely country house located on Sicily's
eastern coast, between Catania and Taormina, less than
a mile from the beach. The Villa, that once was an oil
mill where olives were crushed with a huge wooden press,
is surrounded by a citrus grove and olive trees. But the
most beautiful area that you can enjoy is the gorgeous
swimming pool framed by a flourishing tropical garden.
Nearby is a lava-paved terrace, a patio with a large stone
table and an original wood grill excellent for al fresco
dining.
The house has been in part restored and is furnished with
antiques that have been in the family for generations,
so you can still feel the charm of an old Sicilian country
house everywhere.
Features
Once the ground floor was designated for livestock, so
even today the living quarters are upstairs.
First floor: a very large living room
with a wooden cathedral ceiling, a separate majolica-tiled
kitchen with a wood-fire oven, four double bedrooms open
onto a terrace that revolves round the house. The master
double bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom with tube
and two washbasins. Two twin bedrooms share a hall bathroom
(with tub and washing machine), and another twin bedroom
that has its own en-suite bathroom with shower, opens
onto a long furnished balcony overlooking the vegetation
and the pool.
