About this property

Villa on wine estate with private pool and views

A historical villa with a PRIVATE INFINITY-EDGE POOL and views of the surrounding vineyards, Mt Etna and the gulf of Catania.

Villa Eremo Sant’Emilia dominates its huge estate and offers to its guests a well-tended garden and plenty of space for outdoor dining and relaxation. At the villa it is possible to organise self-service dinners and a cooking class of typical Sicilian dishes, enriched with herbs picked directly from the surrounding land.

The private pool has a gradual entrance which is perfect for sun bathing and for children, and it boasts a hydromassage corner.

Villa Eremo Sant'Emilia consists of a main building and an annexe located about 100 metres away.

MAIN BUILDING:
There are 4 bedrooms with en-suite private bathroom. A second living room with TV can be transformed into a 5th bedroom with a double sofa-bed and a full bathroom outside its room.
All bedrooms and the living room come out onto a big terrace with view on the pool and the coast, ideal for outdoor lunches.
A fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher is next to the living room. Stairs lead to a reading room with another terrace and an even better view.
Both indoor and outdoor there is space for dining together around a table.

ANNEXE:
There are two bedrooms, a bathroom with shower, a living room with kitchen and a terrace with its own privacy.

The pool can be heated by SOLAR PANELS up to 5 degrees above the outside temperature allowing you to enjoy a swim even when it gets a bit colder. A few consecutive sunny days guarantees the optimum functioning of the eco-sustainable solar panel system that warms up the pool.

The private pool with infinity edge has a minbar and a corner with hydromassage.
It's open from 28 March until 7 November and it can be heated up by solar panels to 5 degrees more than the outside temperature.
The pool measures 8x20 meters and its depth increases up to 140 cm. The lowest part is ideal for children.

The following might be to be paid extra: Pool towels, Tourist tax.

Review for stay from 12 October 2024 to 19 October 2024
Without hesitation, I can say this was one of the most amazing stays/experiences I've ever had while traveling. There were eleven of us including children and the villa was absolutely perfect for our week-long holiday in Sicily. First of all, communication with the host was flawless and the hospitality was first class. The keyholder went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home, and we received little treats nearly everyday which only added to our satisfaction. If there was an issue, the keyholder made sure it was immediately taken care of without question. Regarding the villa, it is spectacular! You can get lost in it while exploring the hallways and towers -- the kids thought they were living in a real castle. While it's not in pristine condition, the little imperfections add to the homely feel of the place. The infinity pool and pool bar are also highlights of the villa, and they're perfect for lazy afternoons and enjoying the views of Mt. Etna and surrounding countryside.

It was really amazing! The contact was quick and easy and he was waiting for us to arrive so we could go straight into the villa. Everything was so pretty and clean. We were wirh 17 girls and they places a extra bed in a room what was fine. They cleaned up daily and helped us everytime we needed it is even without asking. Also they would recommended where we should go on our stay. On the day we left they let us stay until we had to leave for the airport and enjoy the pool for the last day! In short we loved it all! Thank you for this amazing trip

Die Villa hat definitiv einen charmanten, altmodischen Touch, der zur Atmosphäre beiträgt. Die Ausstattung war genau so, wie erwartet - nichts fehlte. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die erstklassige Betreuung durch das freundliche Team vor Ort. Der Pool mit seiner atemberaubenden Aussicht hat alle Erwartungen übertroffen. Insgesamt ein gelungener Aufenthalt, der durch die Kombination aus Charakter, Ausstattung und Service positiv in Erinnerung bleiben wird.

Sehr schöne Anlage mit einem Ausblick an dem man sich nicht satt sehen konnte. Ein weitläufiges Gelände mit viel Ruhe. Der Pool war ein echtes Highlight, nur etwas zu kalt. Die Duschen waren etwas dreckig, aber alles in allem eine sehr gute Erfahrung!

Review for stay from 12 July 2023 to 20 July 2023
Had a really great stay here. The villa is lovely and much bigger and better than the photos depict. The outdoor space was amazing, we were glad there were lots of Sun loungers and the umbrella/shade in the grass. The view was stunning, best thing I’ve ever seen for a accommodation views. Host very helpful prior to arrival with all the questions we had. Our flights got cancelled and they were very accommodating to our change of plans. Some suggestions: Could have better photos and a floor plan that really highlights the size of the inside, the kitchen / dinning / living area for example. Worth noting there are people working on site in the vineyards and driveway during your stay. The pool bar could do with an outdoor fridge Overall an amazing stay here so thank you!

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour en famille (14 personnes, 8 adultes, 6 enfants). Pour un grand groupe, il y a le château et une petite maison chaleureuse à 50m. Les extérieurs sont magnifiques avec de beaux jardins et une superbe piscine à débordement (trop froide pour nous en avril). Nous avons aussi pris un repas à la maison, préparé par Francesco : un festin gargantuesque de spécialités Sicilienne !!

Amazing pool
Great location - no wifi in the annex also no coffee maker. No kettles. Kitchens could be better equipped - overall we had a great time. Outdoors is so pretty but they could use more outdoor furniture to make better use of the property.

La maison est très bien pour un groupe d'amis! Nous avons passé de merveilleux moment. A savoir, que la maison est située dans les hauteurs donc il fait toujours un peu plus frais que sur la côte! Seul bémol, le chien enfermé dans une cage toute la journée... les aboiements peuvent gêner mais c'est surtout de le savoir enfermé qui nous a embêter. La piscine est très agréable. Chaque chambre à sa petite salle de douche ce qui est très confortable. La vue est incroyable!! La maison se situe dans les vignes, pas de voisinage, vraiment top! Merci!

Review for stay from 13 June 2022 to 19 June 2022
The pool is the main feature of this home, which has an amazing view and is super clean (they clean it quite regularly and did so even throughout our stay which we really appreciated). It overlooks the vineyards and has an infinity edge! The annexe house is a super cute home to be in. However, the main house is a lot older than it looks in the photos which we weren't expecting. It is a very old home that is quite worn down with old showers, but the view outside and surrounding areas make up for it. There are lots of bugs in the area as you're quite high in mountainous areas (view of Etna is amazing!) so take bug spray! Also, towels are changed weekly so bring your own towels if you stay longer, as we had to keep washing them over for pool use and shower use. Overall, the view is amazing but do bear in mind that the house is old. Also, they require ID checks on day of check in. This was difficult and an annoying thing to do for 17 of us who arrived so make sure you have this ready before the trip.

Wow: Mehr fällt mir einem beim ersten Anblick nicht ein. Die ganze Anlage ist traumhaft schön, der Blick sowohl zum Ätna als auch nach Catania atemberaubend und alles ist sehr schön gepflegt. Mit unserer großen Gruppe aus zwei Familien mit insgesamt sieben Kindern war diese Unterkunft genau richtig. Das absolute Highlight war der gigantische Infinity-Pool, von dem die Kinder noch immer jeden Tag schwärmen. Ideale Ausgangslage für Ausflüge zum Ätna und dem Osten Siziliens - und es gibt einige tolle Weingüter in der Umgebung!

Our family of 12 had a fantastic stay at Eremos Sant Emilia. It was perfect for us. The pool and the garden were a highlight, absolutely stunning with great views of the towns and sea below and Mount Etna above. The house has everything you need, with 4 spacious bedrooms in the main house and 2 in the Annex. There were also plenty of living spaces, which was appreciated with such a big group. The family that run the Villa were great, very helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend.
