Charming villa with pool, blossoming garden & view

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.

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.

A wonderful stay!

We had an amazing stay at the villa. We were a group of 9 - 6 adults and 3 children under 6. The house was perfect. Giovanni, the owner was so welcoming and accommodating. He checked in with us throughout our stay to make sure everything was perfect and it was! We spent most of our time in the outdoor areas- the beautiful patio, gardens and pool. This house is perfect for a group! Thank you Giovanni, for an amazing first stay in Sicily!

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Due Leoni! The property is beautiful and we spent most of our time outside enjoying the gardens, the pool and the patio with stunning views of Mt. Etna. The home was clean and perfect for our group of 9 - 6 adults and 3 children. The modern appliances and AC were great. Giovanni was so welcoming and accommodating at check in and throughout our stay. The location is great to explore Silicy from Noto to Siracusa/Ortigia, Catania and Taormina. There are great local restaurants and we enjoyed a visit to a local beach. Highly recommend this property!

We had the most amazing time staying at this fantastic villa. Mr & Mrs Foti and family were warm, welcoming and kind, nothing was too much trouble. They even provided the most delicious home made wine and fresh fruit and vegetables. The pool was a real highlight and the villa itself was beautiful. Would definitely return.

Unique family-owned Lemon Orchard Farm opened to us with all its charming objects, painting, china and wonderful terrace with 360-degree view on beautiful garden, lemon trees, sea and the Etna volcano. Perfect for a relaxing winter vacation: we enjoyed the Sicilian sun during the day, the cozy fireplaces in late afternoon and tons of freshly squeezed lemon, orange and grapefruit juice all week long.

Thank you for a great stay! The terrace and pool were amazing. As was the hospitality, with several kind free gifts, fresh vegetables from the farmer, nice organic white wine, plumbs and lemons. We had some great excursions to mount Etna, Taormina, Alcantara and some nice dinners in the neighborhood. Thanks again!!!

What a beautiful place! We were two families with 5 children 8-14 years old, and it was just perfect all over. Really an oasis, very lush and extremely well kept gardens with lots of flowers, impressive lemon orchard and just so very tranquil. Impressive house as well with lots of history and rustic charm. Very comfortable! The owners were extremely friendly and helpful and really wanted to make us feel at home. Lovely, clean pool and great views. We highly recommend this place!

Villa Due Leoni

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.

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.

Fantastisch!

Die Villa ist traumhaft gelegen in einer Zitronenplantage, blitzblank sauber. Giovanni war ein perfekter Gastgeber, äußerst zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Er hat uns per WhatsApp auf dem Laufenden gehalten, Wein und Zitronen vorbeigebracht. War immer zur Stelle, wenn wir ihn brauchten oder Fragen hatten. Ein ausgezeichneter Service! Die Villa selbst ist aus dem 18. Jahrhundert, liebevoll möbliert und bietet alles, was man mit einer Gruppe von 8-10 Personen braucht. Blitzblank sauber, Video überwacht, mit Terrassen und einer perfekten Außenküche und einem sauberen Pool. Wirklich einzigartig und wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder. Danke, Giovanni!

Notre a expérience a été globalement exceptionnelle. Le lieu est singulier, romantique et bien placé. L’accueil est généreux et efficace. L’hospitalité et les conseils de Giovanni sont précieux. Nous y avons passé les 10 derniers jours de décembre en famille. Tout le monde était enchanté, on s’est même baigné plusieurs fois dans la piscine ! Une seule petite complexité : les 2 cuisines. On passe un peu de temps à aller chercher dans l’autre, ce qui manque dans l’une et vice versa. Question d’organisation et d’habitude ! Nous y retournerions, en été cette fois, avec joie !

Perfect Place

This villa was everything and more. It is private and close to all! Plenty of room and the pool is so inviting!! You can pick your own herbs to cook with. Relax by the beach than come back and jump in the pool! Rooms are large and open. The host was extremely hospitable. He stayed in communication with us during our stay I would highly recommend this villa.

Beyond our expectation!

Omg this house and the hospitality by the host was top notch. Our experience has become a memory for life, living in the middle of an ecological garden where lemontrees surround you is beyond our expectation. Imagine waking up in the middle of the garden of Eden. The localisation of the property is very strategic if you want to visit great beaches, Taormina and the surrounding cities. The host was one of a kind, making sure that our visit would not lack anything. We are allready planning our next visit.

Très bon séjour chez Maria Grazia & Pippo. La maison est très belle et le jardin absolument magnifique ! Nous sommes partis en famille à 9 avec des enfants et avons pu profiter pleinement de la maison et de la piscine. La vue est très belle, l'Etna d'un côté, le jardin de l'autre. Hôtes réactifs en cas de soucis ou questions. Les 3 vraies chambres sont confortables et disposent d'un balcon très agréable avec jolie vue sur le jardin. Les lits superposés sont eux dans un couloir traversant. La literie est très bonne. A savoir : le gardien vit dans la maison, ce que nous ne savions pas. Il est charmant mais je pense qu'il est important de préciser que du personnel vit dans la propriété et que d'autres personnes passent aussi quotidiennement. Mais en conclusion, la villa est très agréable et les hôtes aux petits soins. Nous avons même eu du vin de leurs propres vignes ! Grazzie !
