The villa is laid out over three storeys and equipped with fantastic amenities and spaces. On the lower ground floor, you will find a range of rooms set up purposefully for guests to indulge in some leisure time. On this level, there is a room with a bar, a pool table and a library where guests can gather for drinks in the evening.

The main living area is located on the ground floor and is a large open-plan room with seating gathered around a fireplace, plus a long dining table for sharing delicious Italian meals. Head up the stairs to the first floor to discover the four bedrooms. Two of these bedrooms boast double beds and en-suite bathrooms, while the other double bedroom shares the family bathroom with the final bedroom which can be set up as a twin or double room.
Outdoors, the villa is enveloped by lush grounds with long lawns shaded by established trees. Out here, there is a wealth of seating dotted around the garden, with al-fresco dining areas and pretty fountains. There is also a private swimming pool for cooling off on hot days.

- Guests should be aware that there are a number of open staircases in the home, so those with little ones or with restricted mobility should be conscious of this.
- The closest village is just few kilometres away, though a car is needed to visit the city of Catania and the stunning coast.
- A nearby property hosts occasionally events, music can be heard during the day and at night. However, for guests staying at Villa Filiberto, privacy is guaranteed as much as possible and quiet hours will be observed.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa FilibertoSitting at the bottom of the incredible Mount Etna, close to some of Sicily’s most vibrant towns and cities, Villa Filiberto is a brilliant place to stay, where you can explore the natural surroundings, visit the pristine beaches which line the coast and spend the day discovering historical attractions and monuments in the Catania.
The closest large city to the home is Catania - 15km away. Villa Filiberto is located within a leafy residential area close to peaceful walking and cycling routes, family-run vineyards, and a scattering of sleepy villages. The Roman village of Trecastagni is the closest at just a few kilometres away, but you can also visit plenty of others, such as the charming village of Viagrande, which offers a beautiful butterfly house and a Mount Etna museum in addition to the usual shops, cafes and restaurants, Viagrande is a great place to stop for an afternoon stroll and a coffee.
If you would like to go sightseeing or shopping, Catania is the place to go! This vast city is just 15km away and is packed with attractions and amenities. Though the city has ancient roots, as you walk through the streets and squares, you will notice the stunning Baroque buildings built in the 16th century when an earthquake destroyed the original city. Some of the city’s surviving historic sites include the town hall, the Diocesan Museum and the medieval castle. As well as its lively centre, Catania is also home to some of the closest beaches. There are serviced beach clubs, natural swimming beaches and family beaches on offer here, one of the favourites with locals is La Playa which is 18km away from the villa.

Wooooooow
Really recommended. Super nice and beautiful rooms, nice Sicilian food… perfect!
-
The property was lovely, beautiful grounds and well equipped home
Kitchen could have a bit more cooking equipment and dish-wares and the stove is quite touchy.
The pool was too cold to use unfortunately.
Everything else was great.
Very close to the road up to Etna and easy to reach the HW.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Thank you. -
One of the most amazing villas that we've stayed for a vacation.
Beautiful property and surrounding, very responsive and accommodating host.
