2) Villa Taormina (available on request).
Villa Taormina is set in a vast park of citrus groves between Monte Tauro (Taormina) and
the finest historic dwellings in the eastern coast of Sicily. The main house dates from 1700 and oozes traditional charm with its terraces, views and sculptured facades. It is set on two floors. On the upper floor, the entrance hall, kitchen, living, reception and dining rooms, all of which furnished with antiques and with through access to a large terrace with views of Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea. Also on this level are a double bedroom and two bathrooms. On the lower floor, 3 double
bedrooms, a single bedroom and 2 bathrooms. All the lower floor bedrooms have direct access to a large terrace through superb floor length windows. Thanks to their long French windows, all rooms in the house are light and well-ventilated, but the breadth of the walls and the outstanding shutters mean that with proper management the house (such as most traditional Sicilian houses) does not require air conditioning, even in August. The gardens are delightfully landscaped in traditional Italian style and contain many remarkable artefacts. The large pool is set in a prominent place, giving it a great view of the house and the landscape beyond. The gardens and terraces have several areas which remain cool and shaded throughout the day, and during summer both lunch and dinner can be taken outdoors in these amazing environments.

3) Villa Selinunte (available 26 July - 02 August).
Villa Selinunte is a new villa; its design is combining both traditional Sicilian architecture
and sophisticated modern décor. The villa, on two levels, is built from local 'tufo' (limestone). It features a very airy, gallery-like living/dining room on the ground floor, with tall glass doors opening to the garden. An interior balcony overlooks the living area and leads into the bedrooms; all of the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and air-conditioning. The villa is surrounded by a verdant garden and numerous acres of citrus groves, which produce oranges and mandarin
-oranges throughout the winter months. A dining loggia overlooks the design swimming pool and the annexed sun drenched terrace. Although apparently well off the beaten track, Villa Selinunte is in fact only ten minutes' drive from Selinunte, a huge area of stunning Greek ruins and an hour's drive from lively, glamorous Palermo.
