bagolaro

Our luxury villas in Italy for rent have always a story to tell. Located between Catania and Taormina, Viagrande is a folkloristic village in Sicily. In the residential area of this village, there are some villas surrounded by greenery, among these, there is Bagolaro, a contemporary vacation rental home near the marvellous Sicilian coast.
Bagolaro is a stone built house dating back to 1600 expanded with a modern structure and a large swimming pool. This pleasant mix of history with modernity is enclosed in a beautiful, tidy garden, shaded by cypress trees and other impressive trees, with the volcano Etna visible in the background from some windows of the villa.
The villa still preserves part of the seventeenth-century structure; stones, stairs, floors and a beautiful ceiling in the living room, decorated with frescoes in bright colours. Bagolaro is divided into two floors. The first floor houses a bright modern kitchen with a pleasant outdoor area suitable for eating out. The four bedrooms have different sizes and the villa is equipped with modern bathrooms.
A modern glasshouse overlooks the pool. It is a multifunctional space, suitable for outdoor dinners, events and as a shaded place to shelter from the summer sun. This glasshouse is connected to a professional kitchen and a very striking old wine-producing cellar transformed into a lounge room for wine tasting.
Bagolaro has a good location to visit the famous Taormina and its archaeological site where you can admire the Greek theatre located in the most panoramic place in Sicily.
During the warmer months, hiking with trekking on the Etna volcano is a real experience. Another pearl of Sicily is Syracuse, a charming baroque city with important archaeological sites, situated on a one hour drive from the villa.
