Villa Palmento La Rosa

A traditional mill house at the foot of Mount Etna converted into a gorgeous four-bedroom villa: Palmento La Rosa is the perfect choice for groups looking to experience both the timeless, natural side of Sicily and the vibrant city of Catania. Tucked away among rolling hillsides and grape vines, the house is truly a tranquil retreat which offers its guests a chance to reset and relax under the sunshine. The private garden is a vision of serenity; perfectly landscaped with trees and flowers, and features a swimming pool and charming al fresco dining area. Step inside and you’ll be delighted by the original architectural features, including the old millstone, traditional fireplaces and rustic beamed ceilings. There are several seating areas and even a pool table for you to while away the afternoons, and a fully-equipped kitchen complete with the full range of modern appliances and amenities.

Villa size: 300 m² (984 sq/ ft.)  |  Holiday Home License: Holiday Home Licensee IT087034C2DUBEZ7L9″

Bedrooms: Each of the four bedrooms at Palmento La Rosa is designed in a charming, timeless style, which perfectly matches traditional aesthetics with modern luxury. Each morning you’ll wake up to the gentle kiss of natural sunlight as it dances through your window, under high beamed ceilings and on soft linens and pillows. Each of the rooms centres around a deluxe double bed, and features generous storage space and a small seating area so you can fully make yourself at home. Finally, for your utmost comfort and convenience, all four of the bedrooms have their own ensuite bathroom, with a shower.

Outdoors: Surrounded by luscious grape vines and verdant hills rolling down to the ocean, from the moment you step out into your private garden at Palmento La Rosa you’ll feel completely at one with nature. While you relax out here under the glorious sunshine, perhaps from the comfort of a deck chair or sun lounger, take in the aromatic country air and the truly tranquil ambience. There are several district areas in the garden, from the luxurious pool deck to the romantic al fresco dining area, so you can choose between convivial living among the whole group or quiet time by yourself among the beautiful trees and flowers.

Indoors: The interiors at Palmento La Rosa are designed in a charming traditional style which is sure to have you feeling as though you’ve been transported back to a simpler time. When you first step inside, the entranceway proudly displays the original millstone from when this was a working millhouse. The main room is a glorious open-plan living room and dining room with impossibly high ceilings, rustic beams and rivers of natural sunlight flowing in through large windows. Take a seat on one of the plush leather sofas, cosy in front of the original stone fireplace and plan the day ahead with your fellow travellers. Ascend a small staircase onto the mezzanine which overlooks the living room, and challenge your friends to a game of pool, while the culinary lover of the group heads to the fully-equipped kitchen. Unlike the rest of the house, which retains as many of its historic features as possible, the kitchen has been wonderfully modernised to offer you the full range of up-to-date amenities and appliances that you’d expect from a villa of this high calibre.

Staff Quarters: Your stay at Palmento La Rosa will be elevated by the dedicated service of the housekeeping team, who’ll provide mid-week and end-of-stay cleaning, as well as frequent changes of towels and bed linens. Throughout your holiday, you’ll have access to WiFi and private parking. If there are any other services that you would like to arrange for your stay, don’t hesitate to reach out to the VillaFinder concierge team.

Location: Palmento La Rosa is located in the tranquil Sicilian countryside just outside the vibrant city of Catania. This gorgeous town offers no end of things to see and do, whether you’re interested in exploring historic architecture and museums or spending your days on long sandy beaches. The town is also home to a wonderful bar and restaurant scene, offering some of the best Sicilian cuisine on the island. Finally, you can’t talk about Catania without mentioning that it rests on the feet of Mount Etna, and as such acts as the gateway to exploring Europe’s highest volcano.
