In his lemon estate in the countryside of Taormina, Prince Gabriele Alliata di Villafranca has refurbished 5 self catering villa-cottages ideal for holiday rental from what was originally an old farm building, known as “Le Case del Principe” located between Etna and the bay of Taormina in the oriental cost of Sicily. They are named: Leone,Zeus, Trinacria, Polyphemus, Lunasole. 3 cottages sleep 2/ 4 people using the mezzanine, Polyphemus sleeps 4/6 people using the mezzanine , Lunasole sleeps 4/8 people using the mezzanines All rooms have been equipped with air conditioning units (hot and cold air). A spectacular swimming pool with Mediterranean gazebo and solarium is available for guests in the lemon grove 30 metres away from the cottages. Absolute privacy is assured thanks to a barrier of bamboo canes and greenery between one cottage and the next. Great care is given to the décor to create a cozy atmosphere and to the garden and greenery.

Details for Leone 1 Bedroom, Sleeps 4

The 50 Sq.m. cottages are named ZEUS, LEONE AND TRINACRIA and can accommodate max 2 adults and 2 children each one. Each one consists of : 1 double bedroom, a bath with shower, a sitting room with a small mezzanine with 2 beds for children 5/16, a kitchen corner, an exclusive patio with cane covering and creepers (5x5m.), an exclusive garden (5x5m.). All rooms are equipped with air conditioning units that can be individually regulated and provide both hot or cold air. Each cottage is equipped with its own cooking area, with working surfaces in marble, built in units and cupboards with cutlery for four people. Extra bamboo armchairs and garden tables are available. The furnishings are all of the most excellent quality and are mainly of Sicilian-Mediterranean inspiration, both the furniture itself, which is of 19th century Sicilian origin, and the tiling, which was made in Santo Stefano di Camastra, the original capital of Sicilian ceramics.

Taormina is the tops

Isa74 Brussels
Review Submitted: September 30, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We'd been wondering how to "do" Sicily: Syracuse for the culture, Catania for the volcano, Messina for the food and seaside, Palermo for the ... well, whatever; and plumped for Taormina for a bit of everything. We were so right ! Couldn't reccomend it more, its got absolutely everything. And what's more, it's a brilliant base for getting around to all the other places, its really well connected. Never imagined it would be so easy. Location really matters, we reckon, and this place is spot on.
Then the place was super too. New purpose-built conversion on a real citrus farm (a calm at night - and by day - you wouldn't believe) with masses of attention to detail. We really felt important. No worries about leaving the children, no worries about the pool, no worries about the WiFi, no worries about anything, in fact. Thinking back on it, we really did get a "taste" of Sicily, not just a stay in some anodyne place which could have been plonked down any old where. This was IT ! And whenever we went out for a meal nearby (good value, and by the way we can really recommend "Flora", up the hill) by some kind of magic there was always space for the four of us. Sicily really worked out well.
Owner's Response: I shall propose you to become a honorary citizen of Taormina !!!
