Villa Eremo Sant'Emilia

Bon

The house was clean and easy to navigate. The situation was perfect for chilling, Mount Etna behind us and the sea in front. 40 minutes from Catania allowed us to feel the hype and when we didn’t we stayed pool side and enjoyed the view.The house was well presented and the little annex was perfect for overflow of visitors.

This home in Trecastagni was beautiful! It fit our family of 11 comfortably and had amazing views of Etna, Catania and the surpunding vinyard. Plenty of space to park and incredibily peaceful. Would definitely stay here again!

Such a wonderful stay! The location and views were unmatched. We got given really clear instructions and offers for local explores. The house was great and comfortably fit 13 adults. I would 10/10 recommend.

We stayed at Villa Eremo Sant'Emilia as two families, and it was absolutely wonderful. The property is stunning — spacious, peaceful, and with breathtaking views of Mount Etna. The pool is fantastic, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring, and there’s plenty of room for kids to play and adults to unwind.

A special mention goes to Salvo, the host, who was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. He welcomed us warmly and made sure we had everything we needed, which made our visit even more enjoyable.

The location is excellent as well — out off the main track but a great base for visiting nearby towns and attractions around Sicily (Etna, Catania, Taormina, Syracuse, Noto and more). We truly enjoyed every moment and would love to come back. Highly recommended for families or groups looking for comfort, beauty, and convenience all in one place!

Really good for big groups. A lot of social areas and relaxing atmosphere. In the surrounding towns very little tourist so a real italian holiday. The chairs and outdoor table was a bit old. When closing the shutters the bedrooms got really dark and it is a stone building so cold if you keep the doors closed during daytime. Good service and help when needed.

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.

Villa’s location was incredible, absolutely spectacular views in every direction. Lots of space out and inside. It was also cool to get to live in a real villa for a while, in this case the word hasn’t been used lightly. There were grape vines growing all around the villa, we got to taste the wine they were making there, it was really good. Pool area was beautiful. All around it was a great experience, I recommend it a lot.

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

We hebben 6 dagen genoten met het gezin van het huis, het zwembad en de locatie. Sleutelhouder Salvo was geweldig, heel makkelijk bereikbaar en regelde alles snel. Zo ook een heerlijke kookworkshop in de villa.
Enige minpunt: er zijn geen parasols aanwezig.

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.

What a dream place !!! We came with my family for my wedding and we were so impressed by the place. I was looking for something sicilian style and it was exactly like this. The Inside is not the most modern but you have everything you need (maybe the showers can be fixed). The rest is super clean and well done. The outside is unspeakable, the pictures don't do justice. The place is huge and the pool area is outstanding with the view on the sea and the city down. Obviously you need to have good weather as this place is made to spend your time outside. You can walk around as well, the property is very big. The only small comment is the gates opening (there are 2). We had only 2 remotes for 14 people and had to go all the way to the gate (it is a good 5min walk from the villa) to go open. There was the possibility to ask the gardener but we did not want to bother him every time. Nevertheless I would come back without any hesitation

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 !!

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!

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.

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.

Réponse de l'Agence:

Thank you for your review. I'm glad you had a nice stay! The villa comes with a set of bathroom towels for each guest. Pool/beach towels are not included. Bathroom towels should not be used for the pool or for the beach. The ID check is required by the law. I understand it can be long for big groups. That's why we ask guests to send their documents a day in advance so to speed up the check-in process.

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!

Tolles Anwesen und sehr schöne Lage inmitten der Weinberge. Die Villa selbst hat 5 Schlafzimmer mit jeweils eigenen Bädern, einen Waschraum, Aufenthaltsraum mit Super WIFI, einem schönen Wohn- und Essbereich. Das Highlight ist natürlich der Pool und der gesamte Garten, der viele schöne Ecken zum Verweilen hat. Der Blick auf den Etna hinter dem Haus ist auch top. Durch die Berglage war es oft diesig und wolkig, obwohl das Wetter eigentlich gut angesagt war - kann nicht sagen, ob das immer so ist. Ansonsten alles top, würden immer wieder hier absteigen.

The setting is fantastic. A few updates to kitchen utensils would help. The pool was a little on the cool side but what a great spot to enjoy a glass of wine and a book or just take in the view! The wifi internet was interrupted/damaged by a thunderstorm and on the third day the dishwasher stopped working. The owners were very quick to resolve these issues and went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. One small issue ( which is out of the owners' control) is there are a lot dogs on neighbouring properties who tend to bark through the night. Ear plugs took care of this.

Eremo Santa Emilia old monastery is a wonderful place with its own soul and one of the most gorgeous and breathtaking views you can imagine in Sicily. It is spacious, each of the room has a separate bathroom and the door outside; the kitchen is well equipped, there are several places where you can enjoy your meal outside. I recommend ordering the dinner- we had welcome rustical one and also seafood dinner, what with their local wine makes a wonderful evening with stunning view over Catania. Swimmingpool is perfect for kids, it also has a jacuzzi for adults. The outside garden is another great thing- the grass is so perfectly kept so we could play with young kids without worrying that they could hurt themselves. The Trecastani shops and restaurants are within 3-5 min drive. It is also a good localization for trekking at Etna- we did it several times for sunrise. Overall the place is much better than it looks on the photos and we recommend it truly!

If you're looking for a stunning location with amazing views and amenities, this is it. I stayed here for a family holiday of 10 people and it fit us just right. I would recommend the local winery Vini Eudes for a tour - it's a ten minute walk from the property. I would also recommend hiring a car if you stay here as there is very little public transport. 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for a spacious property for a secluded getaway.

The villa is in such a beautiful location with stunning views of both Mount Etna and the coast. It is quite isolated so a car is a must. That being said, the villa is very well equipped for cooking, laundry etc. so as long as you're well stocked you'll be fine!
