Overview
If you find your happiness where the sun shines, Villa Elorina could be your perfect holiday home.
Aside from the fact that it's tucked away in the South-Eastern tip of Sicily, if you're on a quest to find a beautiful outside space, this is it. A pretty pastel yellow villa set amidst bountiful citrus trees, manicured lawns with sun loungers and a delightful dining set-up await you. In the very centre of it all, an inviting swimming pool will keep the whole family entertained for hours.
All on one level, Villa Elorina is great if you are travelling with smaller children who aren't quite ready to navigate stairs. This villa is made for easy living with an open plan living and dining area, that are perfect for keeping an eye on the kids while you cook up a fresh Italian feast, or socialise with friends.
Recently renovated, you'll find the elegant rooms are delicately decorated with traditional wood furnishings, warm rugs and sumptuous sofas and armchairs. This theme is evident all throughout this holiday home. Sleeping eight people in five bedrooms, the villa features three doubles, one of which has an en-suite bathroom and dressing room, and two singles. With three bedrooms in all, there should not be any fuss over whose turn it is!
After hours spent sunning yourself around the villa, or enjoying some much needed quality time with your family, you may want a change of scenery. Fortunately, that change could be breath taking if you visit the nearby Plemmirio nature reserve. Gifted with a seabed of a thousand different shades of green and blue, sandy coves and an impressive rocky promontory, the reserve will challenge you not to get your camera out.
Syracuse possesses an untouched timelessness. This historic city is world famous for its ancient Greek and Roman ruins. Walk around its dazzling white Baroque piazza at any time, but especially at sunrise, as it is an extraordinary experience that will leave a lasting impression. Just to meander around the medieval streets lined with bars, cafes and restaurants is a treat. All that's left is to take a dip in that azure Ionian Sea.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa ElorinaIf you were cast away on an island, you may want that island to be Sicily, a beguiling place of contrasts. From bewitching Baroque hilltop towns to sun-blessed beaches, ancient Greek temples, Roman theatres, astounding food and an iconic volcano - it's certainly one of Italy's top draws.
Here, in the south-east of Sicily you'll discover the most stunning examples of those Baroque cities. Enter Syracuse, home to one of the greatest ancient Greek theatres that's still in use today, a Roman amphitheatre, picturesque piazzas, sandy beaches and olive-green seas. Or, the beautiful town of Ragusa, renowned for its jaw-dropping buildings and wonderful Piazza Duomo, brimming with bars and restaurants (a few Michelin star ones at that). And then there's Modica. What can we say? Aside from its world renowned chocolate, the churches, palazzi and bewitching buildings that line the narrow streets of Upper and Lower parts of the city are joyous.
Acireale, another Baroque town. Overlooking the Ionian Sea, its fascinating architecture, a world renowned carnival, historic churches and that fact it's near the magnificent Mount Etna - are real pulls.
Sightseeing done, head for the beach. Crescent shaped sandy bays, rugged coastlines, rocky coves and long stretches of white sand await you - with enough water sports to keep the whole family entertained. Or you could enjoy an arancino or two; the local street food in Sicily is unsurpassing.

A lovely stay!
Thank you so much for a lovely stay!
The house was amazing. It was so good we stayed almost the whole vacation at the house and spent lots of hours in the beautiful garden and pool.
We would definitely recommend to family and friends. -
Wonderful villa
Wonderful villa: tastefully decorated, spacious and very comfortable. A well kept garden with a nice pool and terrace . The location is excellent: secluded property, yet only a short drive to Ortigia (Syracuse); there are supermarkets and a few family friendly restaurants nearby and it is a good base for visits to the Cavagrande Del Cassibile, Noto etc. The host was very friendly and forthcoming. Highly recommend.

Great house!
Great house to rent (also in the winter time ...well heated and warm atmosphere). Excellent organisation. Just be aware of the lack of view... but close to Siracuse which is a dream town and nature around.. I highly recommend.

A great week
Our two families enjoyed a fantastic week in this lovely 5-bed villa, easily the grandest, most spacious villa we have ever rented. Inside the large rooms are very well furnished and decorated, providing lots of character and atmosphere. The large kitchen is very well equipped with lots of storage space. Outside the pool is set in a lovely grassy garden with plenty of trees and shrubs to provide complete privacy. There is a large airy pergola providing shade for a dining area, where we enjoyed many breakfasts, lunches and dinners. The villa is accessed by quite a busy road but is set well back along a driveaway. With a hire car (recommended) the villa was a great base for trips to nearby Syracuse and Ortigia, as well as further away to Noto and Etna. The host was very helpful providing information and recommendations whenever we asked her. All in all, a great week with many happy memories.

Elegant home
Villa Elorina is a beautiful, elegant home which far exceeded our expectations. The villa was in a perfect location to access Siracusa, surrounding small villages and beaches. The bedrooms were large and well appointed. The gardens and outside area overlooking the pool is magnificent. The owner was very thoughtful, providing a well stocked fridge and pantry. We will definitely return next year. The best villa we have ever rented.
