Villa Teresa boasts elegant, spacious interiors that have been lovingly furnished by its owners who built it from its foundations. Outside is a fabulous private pool, immersed in mature, beautifully designed private gardens of 3.500 square meters offering views of Mt. Etna and of the Ionian sea. The property has been entirely renovated in 2018\. The main entrance takes you in a spacious glass porch from which you can enjoy a view over the pool and the Volcano. One side of the porch, which is closed and provided with hot/cold conditioner, accesses a kitchenette and a dining area equipped with a 12-seat table. A second dining area is just outside the porch, under a shaded gazebo equipped with a large barbecue and a wrought-iron table. A lounge area with Afrormosia parquet, equipped with leather couches and a LCD TV 42" accesses the main kitchen on one side and the sleeping quarters on the other: three spacious, comfortable double bedrooms (one of which with en-suite bathroom), and a triple bedrooms, a nursery room equipped with cot and a laundry room equipped with washing machine and changing table. Additional single bed and baby bed are available upon request. Two double bedrooms access a private terrace with views of the Ionian sea as far as Catania and Taormina. Two bedrooms access the open side of the porch, equipped with a wooden table and a wicker sofa, overlooking the swimming pool. Each of the four bedrooms is equipped with independent hot\\cold air conditioner and screen doors. Villa Teresa has a maximum sleeping capacity of ten adults and two infants (0-3 years). GARDEN & POOL The villa is set in its own private, landscaped garden dotted with fruit trees and fragrant flowers that make it perfect for a relaxing stroll. The private pool, measuring 15x12 metres, is equipped with high quality deck chairs and parasols. Pool cleaning and grass watering are carried out, according to need, early in the morning or late evening in order to assure total privacy and exclusive use of the garden and pool. THE TOWN Villa Teresa lies only 500 metres away from Santa Venerina, a town of 8.000 inhabitants famed for the production of sweets, wine and liqueurs. In the village, just 5 minutes walking distance, there are good restaurants, supermarkets and shops. This quiet, landscaped village offers a number of relaxing activities which can be booked from the property: wine tours, massage, tennis and horse riding. You can also book guided tours to Mt Etna, Taormina and the marine reserve of Aci Trezza. The owners, who live in a neighbouring property, will be available for any tips on the area during your stay. THE SURROUNDINGS Santa Venerina is an excellent base from which to explore eastern Sicily, thanks to its very strategic position halfway between Catania and Taormina. The village is 5 minutes drive from the highway A18 Catania-Messina from which (in an average time of 20 minutes) you can reach the most beautiful places of Eastern Sicily, such as Taormina, Alcantara Gorge, Catania, Acicastello, Acireale, Etna, Giardini Naxos... The charming baroque town of Acireale is only 15 km away from Santa Venerina. It is situated next to the 'Riviera dei Ciclopi', a unique coast with a crystal clear sea and lava stacks (Faraglioni) which is believed by Greek mythology to correspond to the stones thrown by blind Polifemo to Ulysses.The Riviera traditional resort towns of Acicastello and Acitrezza have long been a magnet for local day trips and offer arguably the best Granita to be found anywhere and lots of good seafood trattorias. Catania, with its rich architectural heritage, its vibrant markets, restaurants and shops, is only 30 minutes away from the village. The east coast Ionian Riviera has some of Sicily's most picturesque pebbly and sandy beaches including those of Isola Bella, Giardini Naxos and Letojanni (below Taormina). Santa Venerina is just 25 km from Gardini Naxos and 30 km (20 minutes with the highway) from Taormina, which draws more visitors than any other town in Sicily, thanks to its splendid position, its elegant shops, and its Graeco-Roman theatre with a unique view of Mount Etna. Torre Archirafi, Pozzillo and Santa Maria la Scala are pleasant seaside villages near Santa Venerina. The nearest beaches can be found in Praiola, Stazzo and Pozzillo (8 km). Santa Venerina is also an excellent starting point from which to explore Mount Etna and its surroundings. The towns and villages that dot the flanks of Etna, such as Zafferana Etnea, Trecastagni and Randazzo, are well worth stopping off for a visit to their seventeenth century churches built in lava stone or for a spot of lunch in restaurants offering delicious local products. The village is only 4 km away from Zafferana Etnea and 10 km from Rifugio Sapienza, the main ski area, where you can take the Etna cableway, up to the main craters. The sun of Sicily holds the record in Europe and maintains a mild climate throughout the year. Spring is the ideal time to enjoy the culture and nature that this island has to offer. It’s well worth making a trip just to experience the Easter processions, bringing together folklore and tradition in an incredibly mystic way. The interior is spectacular, with the mountain slopes exploding in colour, while on the coast the first bathers start taking to the beaches. In autumn, throughout October and mid-November, the sea water is still warmed by the summer sun, and the daytime temperature still reaches 30°c during the warmest hours.In many towns around Etna there are festivals dedicated to local products such as wine, mushrooms and sweets. The villa is suitable for winter, Christmas and New Year. The weather between December and March can often be mild and sunny, but the villa offers good heating systems, wi-fi and plenty of indoor space just in case! ## Property amenities ### Ski - Close to skiing - Ski lift privileges ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Stereo - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Ski lift privileges - Table tennis - Tennis - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Spelunking nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Water skiing nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Unit size: 2,583 square feet ## Similar properties ![A heated pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101080000/101078800/101078763/d4b95fc2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villa Nerello - Randazzo ,Sicily Randazzo - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-24&endDate=2025-12-25&selected=101078763&PinnedHotelID=101078763&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/82820000/82815200/82815144/07f4e545.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villa Lovere - Three Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 6 Trecastagni - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-24&endDate=2025-12-25&selected=82815144&PinnedHotelID=82815144&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33580000/33579300/33579243/265b719c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Typical charming villa surrounded by nature and old trees Milo - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 23 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-24&endDate=2025-12-25&selected=33579243&PinnedHotelID=33579243&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100950000/100949100/100949016/676a2559.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villa Ravenna - Country house with pool Castiglione di Sicilia - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-24&endDate=2025-12-25&selected=100949016&PinnedHotelID=100949016&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111680000/111672900/111672884/5543ade2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Elegant villa in the green of a forest on main road ta Taormina and Catania Sicilia - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-24&endDate=2025-12-25&selected=111672884&PinnedHotelID=111672884&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/93000000/92550000/92543400/92543301/2ab051dd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A Sicilian guesthouse with Pool on Mt.

We rented for the entire month of September with both family including grandchildren and friends. Everyone was impressed with the villa. There was also ample parking for 3 cars. Nadia, our host, was very responsive to our needs including adding a baby bed for our infant. The villa was close to town where we walked for dinner several times. The villa is also a good base for exploring eastern Sicily. We would gladly stay there again. ##### Michael V. Stayed 28 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Francesco F.

From the pool erea, full view of mt.Etna and from the balcony a view of the sea.The location was also very good as you could walk to a couple of restaurants and many others with a short drive.Unless you want to sit by the pool every day,I would recommend a car.The host Fabio was fabulous with answering questions almost immediately.I would highly recommend. ##### Francesco F.

Comfortable beds, best parts were the porch dining areas and the beautiful pool. Gardens around the yard make you feel relaxed and private. Hosts were very nice. Not a walking community as there are no shoulders or sidewalks but we did walk to town regularly for dinner and my husband walked to bakery every morning for fresh pastries - not to be missed. Good base for visiting east coast of Sicily. Also drove out to Agrigento to see the Valley of the Temples about a 2 hour drive. Kitchen pretty well equiped enough for the few meals we ate in. Highly recommend! ##### Leslie Q. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Nikhil M.

All of us thoroughly enjoyed the grounds, villa and the amazing pool. The gardens are expansive, offering wonderful views of Etna and the surrounding countryside. Nadia is very helpful, with clear communication and a great host. The walk into Santa Venerina is about 10 minutes with many excellent restaurants. The local area has numerous other towns and the proximity to Etna, Catania and Taormina allows one to visit numerous historic places including some pretty good beaches and incredible hilltop towns. Mt Etna is only a 40 minutes drive and such a fascinating area to walk and explore. We booked an excursion with Etna Experience which was amazing. We really liked Sicily and will be back.

Nadia and her father were very helpful and gave us a tour of their gardens and picked fresh fruit for us. The house is nice, comfortable and clean and the pool and gardens are beautiful. Our kids loved the pool and we spent a lot of time just relaxing and swimming. The weather in October was great . The house is really handy for trips to Mount Etna, Taormina and other attractions. Its great to see Mount Etna smoking form the house ! Catania is also worth a visit. The village is quiet and not touristy but but we found nice restaurants 10 - 15 mins walk away. We had a great time and would recommend the house. Ian Janette Euan and Isla from Edinburgh Scotland. ##### ian L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Phil E. Sep 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic Villa Teresa The communication and help we got from Nadia both before and during our stay was fantastic. We had a 3 stop tour of Sicily so needed a transfer from Taormina to the villa and then to Catania. Nadia arranged this for us and it was perfect. Thank you. The villa itself was perfect for our group. 3 adult couples with double rooms, and 2 11 year old sharing in the main villa, and the five teen boys all sharing the additional annexe away from the villa. This was perfect for everyone and again Nadia was so helpful in organising the beds to make it work. The villa was very clean, with decent kitchen, but with more cooking space in the lean to plus small barbecue, this was more than adequate. The gardens were lovely and we'll kept and the pool was amazing! Really big pool that allowed young and old to share without being in each others way, with deep and shallow areas. Perfetto! The villa was very secure with electronic gates and enough room for three cars (albeit tight). The walk into Santa Venerina is about 10 mins to the nearest restaurant, which was absolutely fab, La Bisteccona (great tomahawk steaks) with some others a further 5-10 mins. There are two lovely cafes for granita and panne in the mornings. The walk itself is on a main road, so you have to be careful, but it really isn't too bad. The 13 of us managed quite easily, and it's generally flat. All in all, can't recommend this villa enough, amazing, enjoyable stay with fantastic hosts. Grazie mille Nadia! ##### Phil E.

We zaten eigenlijk iedere dag buiten in de mooie tuin en bij het heerlijke zwembad.Ook was er een fijne open veranda waar je kon zitten.Iedere avond aten we in een soort van dichte serre met uitzicht op de tuin. Buiten eten was toen wij er waren nog net iets te fris. De auto’s (2 hadden wij) kon je prima naast het huis parkeren.We gingen iedere dag wel op pad. Taormina, Savuco, Giardina de Naxos, Noto om maar wat te noemen.Alles met mekaar een hele fijne week gehad.Contact met de host (mocht er iets zijn) was prima en direct. Dank je wel. ##### Alca K.

Villa Teresa is located off a busy street, but is secluded with beautiful landscaping and conveniently sandwiched between Mt Etna and the Ionian Sea—with beautiful views of both! It was the perfect place for our multi-generational family of nine to stay for the week. We enjoyed the variety of day trips we could make from our location, and the freedom to choose whether we’d go out to eat or cook in the well-equipped kitchen. The doors and windows were well-made, but somewhat difficult to maneuver. Nadia and Fabio were quite attentive to our needs and ready to help with any questions or issues we had. We recommend buying the food parcel offered, as it was a great, inexpensive way to have a variety of food and drink available upon arrival (most stores are closed in the afternoon, making it hard to shop upon arrival). ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Steen Albert P., Roskilde Oct 11, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gedigen villa med dejlig have og pool - og særdeles serviceminded værtsfamilie Vi var 7 familiemedlemmer i tre generationer, der nød en herlig uge i den charmerende Villa Teresa og i den hyggelige have med pool. Vi blev mødt (trods flere timers forsinkelse) af en særdeles serviceminded værtsfamilie, der igennem hele ugen imødekom alle vore ønsker og på bedste vis løste de problemer, der opstod undervejs. ##### Steen Albert P.

Myself and my family had the most amazing two weeks at Villa Theresa. The villa is presented to an extremely high standard, and we felt at home as soon as we arrived. The property is also perfectly placed to explore Santa Venerina and surrounding towns. Fabio & Nadia are amazing hosts and made us feel very welcome. We are definitely coming back. ##### Rob Z.

The house was perfect for us! It was clean and had plenty of room for the nine of us. We especially enjoyed the beautiful pool and garden. The location was wonderful since we planned to visit Mt Etna and Taormina. Our host, Nadia always responded quickly with any concerns about the house, questions about the local area and recommendations for restaurants, etc. We were very pleased and would stay here again. Thank you, Nadia! ##### Joann F.

We (my family comprising of 5 young adults and my wife and i) had the best time ever here at this villa. The people are lovely, the villa is fantastic. Set out with all you need in lovley lovely grounds. I had a soft spot for Angelo who is Nadia& Fabio's Father who cleans the pool for you and is there(without you knowing it) if you need anything. He offered to take us around his large plot and show us it all but we just ran out of time to take him up on his offer, but i am going back to take advantah=ge of his offer and his undoubted wisdom about Sicily!! I would thourogly recomend this villa and Sicily in general, it gave us a safe ,clean base from which to expolre Sicily. TYou cannot ask for more. And in this crazy world right now Sicily is a really good bet!! ##### Peter P. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark P.

The house itself is fantastically well appointed with everything that we needed and more. Overall a superb stay in a wonderfully relaxing location - we will most definitely be back! ##### Mark P.
