About this house rental
Villa Due Leoni is a charming villa on two floors with private pool and garden situated on a lemon estate halfway Catania and Taormina and at only 1 km from the sea and the village of Riposto, where you can find fresh fish every day.
The garden has been transformed into a real paradise with palm trees, perfect lawns and an orchard with all kind of fruit trees. From the terrace and the pool (10 x 10 meters, 140 cm deep) you can enjoy a stunning view on the coast and on Mount Etna, often puffing. The pool is open all year round.
Villa Due Leoni consists of:
- Ground floor: a huge living space with dining table, sofa bed, lounge and fireplace, separate kitchen and toilet. From the living and the kitchen you can access the garden.
- First floor: three double bedrooms, a large corridor / bedroom with two bunk beds (four sleeps), two full bathrooms, and a huge terrace with view of the Etna and the sea. Stairs connects the terrace to the garden below. The terrace has a veranda with a big dining table.
HH, Norway, October 2016: "This villa is truly on top of what we have experienced so far. Idyllically located in lemon plantation, Mt. Etna towering to the west and the Mediterranean sea to the east. The unspoilt village Riposto within easy reach by foot with several restaurants and local shops. Within short driving distances you even reach some of the most "necessary" attractions."
All in all, Villa due Leoni is a peaceful and authentic Sicilian villa, ideal for friends and family who wish to explore the Eastern side of Sicily.
Please note that a caretaker lives in a separate part of the property and completely respects the privacy of the guests.
The following might be to be paid extra: Pool towels.

Giulia was fantastic in answering questions and booking. Giovanni, the host is so lovely, he greeted us on the day of arrival. There is a lot of personal touches making our stay incredible. The guide for things to do was really helpful - where to eat locally etc. Giovanni helped us with taxi's to get to day excursions and he checked in with us if we needed anything. It is a beautiful villa, very peaceful with incredible gardens. The lemon trees and views of Mount Etna make the stay really special. I will not tire of those views. We had plenty of sleeping options and dining options. My nieces loved having the pool to swim in after a day of activities. You can really spend some relaxing days at the villa and switch off. We were recommended the local market and had some delicious fresh fruit and veg and seafood!! I highly recommend this location for a peaceful relaxing getaway. Giovanni, makes the stay really personal and nothing is ever too much trouble. I am sure we will visit again

It’s a charming and quirky house. Lots of history and you feel like you go back in time as you drive down the driveway. The house is surrounded by beautiful gardens and lemon groves. Lots of care and attention is taken to the gardens and terrace/ pool area. House is great for big groups/families. The outside space on the terrace has everything you need. The interior of the house is like stepping back in time, from a decoration point of view and also the appliances in the kitchens (2 kitchens, one upstairs and one downstairs). Whilst the kitchens had everything we needed it is a little tiresome using a 20/30year old gas oven to make toast on a morning….. Giovanni was wonderful, very attentive, responsive and brought us gifts to the house from the local area. Brilliant added touch!

This was a wonderful experience. Our host Giovanni was unbelievably helpful and friendly. This was his families home, and he showed great pride. He brought us his estate wines and lemons, and was available to answer any questions immediately.The Villa itself was gorgeous, well equipped, and spending time at the pool during the hot summer was a delight. We were a car ride from Taormina, Ortigia, and minutes away from the Riposto waterfront and it's excellent restaurants. A perfect place to be a tourist and still have some resort-like down time. Thank you Giovanni for being a five star host with a five star property.

The house was more rustic than expected, and it would have been nice to know a caretaker liver on site. Not a problem, but it would have been nice to know. View of Mt. Etna was stunning, and the pool was maintained well. Surrounding area was a bit intimidating, and the entrance gates took some work. But overall, a nice place and very attentive hosts.
