Beautiful villa with amazing views of the aeolian islands

We loved everything about our stay at Villa Le Zagare: the gorgeous views, the sunsets, the swimming pool, the tennis court, the luscious garden and the spacious air conditioned rooms. Maurizio, our host, was wonderful and very responsive and made us feel welcome and at home. As for the location, I came to realize after a couple of days that we were incredibly lucky to have found this beautiful villa in a part of Sicily that is less touristy while at the same time very close to a lot of great sites. We loved visiting Milazzo, Messina, Taormina from the Villa and discovering some fairly uncrowded beaches close by. The beach at the end of the road was our to go beach for a morning swim. As for the noise from the road behind the house, while it took a little getting used to at the beginning, we soon got used to it and let the charm of this very special place completely captivate us, embracing the beauty it had to offer. Thank you Maurizio.

Lovely place with an amazing pool and grounds

The pictures really accurately reflect the beauty and brilliance of this property. We had a lovely week and Maurizio and Barbara were both helpful and kind. Some parts of the house are a little tired and there’s no aircon in the main lounge but that really doesn’t detract from the overall experience. The house is just a lovely place to stay and we had a wonderful time. Recommend for families; the massive pool is shaded most of the day and that made such a difference. We are missing the villa this week on our return to the uk and would guarantee you’ll have a great week here! Others talk about the motorway but it didn’t disrupt us, less noisy than the mopeds that have ruined other holidays elsewhere and not noticeable most of the day!

Beautiful and comfortable home in Sicily

We have stayed in numerous homes throughout Italy, and as such have experience sourcing and selecting homes for our large family. If you are looking to stay in a relatively affordable large villa in Sicily, we found that there is a surprisingly small selection that fit our criteria. The pool is excellent, the rooms were very large and offered beautiful views. While the grounds could use small maintenance., there was a ton of room to roam. We used the wood fired pizza oven and grill almost daily. There is a phenomenal butcher and grocery store just down the driveway, and also an outstanding pasticceria and restaurant a short stroll away which we visited each morning. The beach is a 90-second drive from the house; the beach is very private and not at all busy, and we found ourselves pitching umbrellas and a cooler there for a few days. While this sort of beach experience is not typically Italian (where private beach clubs prevail), we actually enjoyed the peacefulness of it very much. How was excellent - overall would recommend!

Amazing stay at a beautiful villa

We had a fantastic week at the villa. A family reunion of 14 people (ranging in age from 11-86), we absolutely loved the villa. The view is absolutely amazing, and we loved our sundowners watching the sunset. The bedrooms were great and the air con in each room was a real bonus. Loved that there were bedrooms on the main floor for my elderly parents, and then upstairs were amazingly large bedrooms. Maurizio was amazing and very helpful, helping with food on arrival, restaurant recommendations and also helping with lots of other suggestions. The main road does run behind the property, but we usually had music playing so it wasn’t a huge problem. Finally, the children loved the tennis court/basketball court and also the hot tub. We really did love our week at the villa, and how accessible it was to the towns all around that we loved visiting. Thanks Maurizio :)

Authentic Sicily

My family and I celebrated my 60th at the villa. Maurizio was incredibly kind, helpful and responsive. The grounds are breath taking with orange, grapefruit, lemons, limes, plantains, and kumquat trees. The tennis court became a nightly event usually followed by relaxation in the hot tub. Maurizio organized a chef to cook us dinner a few nights. What a pleasure to dine on authentic Sicilian food, but also linger around the table and just be! We walked to the beach and the patisserie down the street. Visited Palermo, Taormina, Cefalu, Etna, and Messina. Our weather was not the best so we could not visit the Aeolian Islands - but you should definitely go! Thank you Maurizio!!

Gem of a Villa!!

We booked this beautiful Villa for two weeks in early September 2023. We were two families with a total of 10 adults. The Villa was large enough to accomodate all of us without any issues. The bedrooms are all huge and well appointed. The views, along with the surrounding property were spectacular!! The owners were always available to answer any questions and very knowledgeable with respect to any requests. Thank you to Elio for the granitas and wonderful conversations. Peter the groundskeeper was wonderful, along with all the staff that took care of the property. The property is located less then an hour from Taormina and less then 1/2 hour from Milazzo. As mentioned in other reviews there is a road you can hear close to it, but it’s not intrusive to the enjoyment of the property. We all enjoyed walking to Celona the bakery at the bottom of the hill. Thank you Maurizio!!

Paradise in Villa Franca

We were a group of friends who meet up every year for holiday. Villa La Zagare satisfied every requirement beautifully: - large shaded clean pool (so refreshing in the hot August sun) - hot tub with incredible views of lush grounds and sunset and sea - large al fresco dining table - full size tennis/basketball court - large living room - aircon in every bedroom - walking distance to quiet beautiful clean beach (no amenities besides a outdoor shower to rinse off - which was more than fine for us!) - walking distance to local bakery/restaurant with delicious granitas/gelatos as well and sweet pastries/cakes and savoury food. we also ate in the restaurant were they had pizzas in the evening and you can takeaway delicious roast chicken and chips for lunch) Maurizio's property is just so unbelievably beautiful where you can walk amongst fruit trees and pick tree ripened mangoes (a really treat for us!!). Limes trees and grape vines were much appreciated. Lots of other fruit trees but not in season in August. The local butchers was fantatic and local shops had everything we needed in a pinch. Short drive to more restaurants and shops and 30mins to Milazzo where we enjoyed the Pool of Venus and the Castello which was well worth a visit. Thank you Maurizio, we all had a wonderful stay in your beautiful home - how blessed you are!

one of our best holidays....

August 2014. 4 adults, 5 children. From the moment we arrived and throughout our stay at the beautiful Villa Le Zagare we were treated like old friends. Maurizio really went out of his way to make our stay fun, relaxing and welcome. No request was too great: from taking us to and around the local supermarket, arranging water-skiing sessions, snorkelling, vine yards, booking restaurants to sourcing raw pumice stones as souvenirs. The family that run this incredible estate are testament to its natural beauty. The stay was full of many memorable moments and incredible food. Our first night, Sonia cooked an incredible dinner (banquet would be a better word!) for us all. We also ate at the family restaurant: Solo Sophia. Again, the food was fantastic; our children still talk about the many courses of delicious, local food. We enjoyed regular visits from Elio, often bringing fresh produce from the garden, and on a couple of wonderful evenings, he taught us to cook local dishes and joined us for dinner. The villa was stunning, the photos do not do it justice, and the pool, gardens and hot tub were equally fabulous. The kids loved playing tennis and basket ball in the garden and we equally loved picking fruit and vegetables from the garden for lunch or dinner. Watching the sunset from the hot tub whilst sipping prosecco is a must! The villa has ample accommodation. It is light and airy and very clean. We have left our two weeks with a love of the island, the food, the sunsets, and the knowledge that in Maurizio, Elio and their family, we have true friends. We hope to return soon.

Lovely Italian Villa and helpful host

The Villa is more like a large, beautiful Italian house. Maurizio is a very good host, and offered to do the big shop before we arrived, which was very helpful - Grazie! The pool is fantastic and a really good size. The outside seating area was lovely as covered from the sun - and the surrounding gardens are pretty. The bedrooms are large and roomy some with private balconies - although some seating on the balcony would be nice to appreciate the sea views. The lounge area is very grand and spacious. The kitchen we would describe as adequate, as a little small for large groups, as was the BBQ area - which is a little closed off from the gardens. But the oven is nice a big, and it is possible to cook for large numbers. Lighting surrounding the hot tub area could be improved as a little dark at night. For us, the motorway noise was an issue for some members of the party as this is adjacent to the fencing by the pool area, and even overnight it is still very noisy. However, some of us did close off to it over time. For us the location was a little disappointing, the beach near to the villa has no parasols or beds, or any bars/restaurants, and obviously taking a picnic would get pretty sweaty after an hour in the heat! The village has a nice supermarket and the staff are friendly, there is a local patisserie near by, which sells delicious gelato, and pizza, but other than that, there is nothing much around to enjoy. We did drive into Messina which has a nice square with cathedral, and has a few bars/restaurants and shops. We hired a boat in Milazzo which was good fun, but the town itself has little in the way of bars/shops on the sea front (unless we were looking in the wrong place) You definitely need a car to stay here, but driving among the Italians is an experience! - Good luck !!

Lovely Family Vacation at Villa Le Zagare

Maurizio and his family were simply wonderful during our stay at their villa. We arrived very late the first evening and were not able to fully appreciate the grounds and the view but him and his sister welcomed us with a late dinner and great recommendations. When we woke for our first full day we were simply stunned by how beautiful and relaxing the property was. It was truly a spot for connecting with family, appreciating the gardens and watching the sun set as every night it seem to be spectacular. The age group of our family ranged from 10 to 86 and there was something for everything. My 3 sons went swimming, played basketball, and just explored the grounds. My 86yr old father in law enjoyed sitting outside and appreciating the view. Maurizio and his father showed us around the property, told us about the variety of different edible fruit trees, although some things were not quite in season we were still able to sample many wonderful fruits straight from the trees. We never lacked for fresh fruits and vegetables. A couple of nights Maurizio beautiful sister cooked a lovely meal for our family and we dined outside and just enjoyed each others company. The weather was hot the whole time which we didn't mind. Some mornings we would walk down to the nearby bakery and have breakfast. We did a couple excursions during our time at the villa which included a boat trip to the Aeolian Islands and stopped to swim and eat lunch. We visited 3 of the islands, but would have loved Stromboli so maybe on our next trip. We also took a day trip into Taormina which was about 45minutes from the villa. The city was beautiful but very touristic. Then we took a day trip to Mt. Etna which was enjoyed by all family members, it was about 1.5hours from the villa. Our trip to Messina and Villa Le Zagare will be a memorable trip for so many reasons and our family greatly appreciates the hospitality that Maurizio and his family showed us.

A view to die for!

The situation of this property on the side of a hill covered in lemon, mango and pomegranate trees is (almost) perfect. Expansive views of the Mediterranean and the Aeolian islands by day and volcanoes silhouetted by stunning sunsets by night force you to just sit, relax and watch! This is a place to live outdoors - the huge swimming pool conveniently shaded by tall cypress trees, the tennis court, jacuzzi, boules on the lawn, strolls in the orchard meant two families of varied ages and interests were constantly entertained. The kitchen facilities are tired but there is a fab, traditional restaurant a 10 minute walk down the steep hill. The ‘almost’ in brackets above refers to the motorway literally at the end of the garden. If you come from living in a city you will be able to zone out from the constant drone but don’t expect to be able to hear the sound of the many little lizards going about their daily business!

Wunderschöne, große sizilianische Villa

Eine wunderschöne, sizilianische Villa mit einem traumhaften Meerblick, umgeben von einem großen GrundstĂŒck mit Mango-, Limetten- und OlivenbĂ€umen. Wer Entspannung sucht ist hier genau richtig. Aber auch, wer mit Freunden und Familie eine schöne gemeinsame Zeit zum Feiern sucht. Empfehlenswert ist das (einzige) Restaurant (mit BĂ€ckerei, Konditorei und Eisdiele) direkt an der Hauptstraße (3 Min mit dem Auto). Das Eis ist der Hammer! Und die Pizza ist auch sehr gut. 7 Min mit dem Auto entfernt findet man 2 große SupermĂ€rkte. Die Besitzer sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Haben fĂŒr uns in der Vila auch ein typisches sizilianisches Dinner organisiert, was vor Ort zubereitet wurde. Top! In der Umgebung gibt es nicht wirklich viel. Was uns aber nicht gestört hat, weil wir komplett ungestört einfach nur in der Villa entspannen und relaxen wollte. Somit perfekt zum runterkommen und abschalten. Einziger Wermutstropfen ist die Schnellstraße hinter der Villa. Blendet man aber schnell aus.

Fabulous. Magical.

Eight of us stayed here for one week, four adults and four children aged between 7 and 10. We all absolutely loved it. The villa is beautiful, with an incredible view of the Aeolian islands off the north coast of Sicily. There are lots of big positives. The pool is really big and the kids couldn't get enough of it. The gardens are great to explore (and pick fruit!). The tennis court is in good condition. The host Mauricio communicated really well with us, answering all sorts of questions, and booking some things for us that we found hard to book ourselves (we didn't speak Italian). The villa has a piano, TV, excellent air-con, good beds, a bbq, pizza oven, large fridge-freezer, etc. Basically, everything you could want. Any niggles are very minor (e.g. maybe it could do with a new microwave). We also loved the location, even if it was a bit remote. We had hire cars so could drive to e.g. Taormina (1hr away), and to Milazzo (30mins) to catch the hydrofoil to Lipari. The Grotte Beach Club is also a great place to visit (thanks again to Mauricio for helping us to book that). You can easily walk down the hill from the villa to the Celona B&B, which is a great place for something to eat, or just to get a really nice ice-cream, or cannolo (but don't expect them to speak English!). Overall, absolutely fabulous. Worth the cost. An absolute bargain if you can fill all of the beds and share the cost. Almost forgot - you can hear the motorway. But it didn't bother us at all. And the pool doesn't get full sun - but that's a good thing! The positives FAR outweigh any tiny negatives.

Family wedding group

Our large family group stayed at Le Zagare for a week to join in my sons wedding celebration held in Calabria. The Villa was a perfect base for us. Large, airy, and comfortable with a HUGE fabulous pool, tennis court and enormous garden of fruit trees. The lical village and beach were an easy walk away, with an excellent cafe/restaurant and all the shops you need. Maurizzio ( Villa host) was a superb host, and helped us with taxis, high chairs, cots, car seats fir kids, drivers, and local chefs who came to the Villa to cook dinner for our large group on 3 occasions.

Een fantastisch huis waar je voldoende priveplek hebt wanneer je met een grote groep mensen bent.

Het huis is geweldig mooi en van alle gemakken voorzien. Airco, groot zwembad (helaas geen goede inloop voor oudere mensen en gladde stenen rondom), jacuzzi (in voor en najaar wanneer het nog niet zo warm is, denk ik helemaal heerlijk in de avond) met fantatstisch uitzicht. Ruime slaapkamers, heel goede bedden en keukenbenodigdheden voldoende. Als je wilt kan er zelfd voor je gekookt worden en krijg je echt Siciliaans eten voor absoluut niet de hoofdprijs. Gastheer is uiterst vriendelijk en spreekt zeer goed engels. Het huis zelf ligt mooi en vrij dus rustig. Minpuntjes: Op Sicilie is dit niet de meest mooie omgeving. droog en viezig. Ver van alles vandaan (uur rijden om leuke plekken te zien). Shop-liefhebbers houden geld in hun portomonnaie. Het huis zouden we zo weer kunnen boeken echter Sicilie heeft ons hart niet kunnen stelen.

La gentillesse et disponibilitĂ© des propriĂ©taires ont permis de passer un excellent sĂ©jour familial, sans oublier la dĂ©licieuse cuisine locale prĂ©parĂ©e par Virginia, vive, pĂ©tillante et cuisiniĂšre hors pair. TrĂšs belle piscine avec un muret haut qui protĂšge des risques d'accident pour les jeunes enfants. Seul petit bĂ©mol, la proximitĂ© de l'autoroute qui passe devant la maison mais dont on parvient Ă  faire abstraction avec le chant des cigales et les cris de joie des enfants dans la piscine!

Fantastic stay!

We were a party of 14 and no complaints. Hosts Maurizio and Barbara attended to our every need from giving us directions and info on things to do and places to visit to procuring tickets in advance for our excursions! Father was charming .. he showed up and gave us a tour of the grounds and helped us pick fruit and vegetables on the grounds. Villa has everything one would want for a fabulous stay only regret is we couldn’t stay longer! If you want a luxury stay book this villa! Grazie di cuore dai Villagers.

Fantastic Villa

The villa was very impressive with spacious rooms and grounds. It is on a hill with great views over the sea. Our party of 10 ranged in age from 8 to 87 so it was great that there was plenty of space so that we didn't feel like we were getting on top of each other. The orchard and garden were perfect for hide and seek, tag, and other games. The temperature of the large pool was "bracing" (it was October) but that didn't stop us spending time in it and the hot tub and sauna were great! The beach was only a 10 minute walk, we had a lovely day playing in the sand and swimming in the sea. We also went to Mt Enta and Taromina both well worth the visit; we also enjoyed some lazy days around the villa. Maurizio and Barbara were very welcoming and stayed in touch to check everything was ok.
