Overview

Located in an area of great natural beauty, this newly restored independent villa is a haven of calm and serenity. Crossing its gates you will think the time here stopped a while ago. The façade of the property remains in fact unchanged retaining the structure of a typical wine making facility. The interiors have been completely renovated with a contemporary eye, and this juxtaposition creates a nice and dramatic contrast. This three-story villa can accommodate a total of 8 guests, and also includes a separate annex ideal for weddings or large group celebrations.

The villa is located in a tranquil outskirt area only a 5 minute drive from the town. The beach establishments and Taormina are 30 minutes away. Its quiet location is ideal for those guests whom want to spend time relaxing at the house, touring this old wine region or visiting the eastern side of Sicily. However you envision your vacation, you will appreciate the great quality and comfort offered by Villa Maude.

LIVING SPACES

First Floor

From the courtyard, climbing approximately 20 steps, you will enter the sun-washed double living room with dining and sitting areas. This spacious room, with its central glass fireplace, vaulted fresco ceiling, white floor against grey walls, warm wooden table paired with canary yellow polypropylene molded chairs, boasts a timeless and fashion-forward look. The plush, white sofas act as the focal point in the space, along with the beautiful windows bringing in a lot of natural light. The modern glass fireplace and the floating shelving adds an artistic and youthful appeal. A bright and fully equipped kitchen with a central cooking island and large picture window, serves the dining room. A guest bathroom completes this floor.

OUTSIDE FEATURES

The villa boast a 30,000 square feet manicured garden where a generous infinity edge salt-water swimming pool, complete with sunbeds and umbrellas, is the belle of the ball. Just next to it, a beautiful sun room with glass walls, a great space to enjoy when tired of sunbathing or willing to just lounge in the shade. An additional lovely terrace with an ancient well is located next to the kitchen, and it is an ideal place for having morning breakfast and dinners under the stars.
