Villa Zara

Spacious and refined, with magnificent gardens, a conservatory, belvedere, pool and tennis court, it is the epitome of stylish Sicilian country living, and comes with staff, including an inspired chef.
The owner is a passionate gardener, and has created a magnificent landscaped garden, featuring pines, oleanders, acacias, carob trees, agave and yucca palms, along with aromatic Mediterranean plants such as bay, lavender and myrtle.
There is also a much-prized ‘palmeto’ an impressive garden devoted to the cultivation of palm varieties from all over the world, and an exotic desert garden with a collection of cacti.
Crossing the garden you arrive at a comfortable conservatory furnished with ample and very comfortable sofas and a beautiful lava stone fireplace.

The main house has been recently restored. Great pains have been taken to retain architectural features typical of the area, while at the same time incorporating every modern comfort. The house is on two levels, with ten bedrooms.
All are decorated with traditional furniture and vintage crafts.
The upper floor also has a library, a perfect place to relax while sipping a tea or cocktail, or to browse through the many magazines and exquisite books provided by the owner.
There is a belvedere on the upper floor with a stunning view of Etna, an ideal place for meditation, yoga or for a few moments of sheer tranquillity.
A magnificent swimming pool, a sauna and a tennis court add the final touch to a stay in this splendid and luxurious villa.

The villa is located on the plain of Catania in the triangle between the towns of Scordia, Lentini and Palagonia. The villa’s central location means that it is in easy reach of several places of interest.
