Book now your holiday in San Giuliano, Syracuse in this beautiful exclusive private residence with swimming pool

Once a fortified farmhouse it is now a lively Villa located between the cities of Catania and Syracuse.
This charming house has belonged to the San Giuliano family for 800 years, and is immersed in a 50-hectare orange grove dominated by the majestic Etna volcano.

As soon as you enter the wrought iron gate, you will be greeted by a precious collection of cacti and attracted to the exotic botanical garden designed by the late Marquis Giuseppe di San Giuliano.

The garden is now part of the Grandi Giardini Italiani circuit which makes it a must for erudite travelers to Sicily. The main house, like the other buildings, overlooks the large courtyard which is dominated by a huge Ficus Magnoloide tree. The house can accommodate up to 22 people in a total of 11 bedrooms.

In the main house there are 5 finely furnished double rooms with private bathroom, while another three double rooms with bathroom overlook the courtyard. Recently renovated, "Il Palazzotto", a small two-storey apartment with a living room on the ground floor and a bedroom with private bathroom on the first floor, also inside the courtyard.

There are also 2 charming twin bedrooms and 1 shared bathroom called “Le Camerette” which are ideal for children and nannies.

A large vaulted lounge is on the ground floor with direct access to the main lawn offering an opportunity to sit outside and enjoy the wonderful botanical gardens. It is not only a beautiful house but it has a full agricultural activity with orange groves providing lemons grapefruit oranges of different species.
