Villa Cornelia was absolutely perfect for our very large group that filled all 12 rooms of this stunning estate. Our time here couldn't have been better. The rooms and common areas of the villa were tasteful, spacious, and well looked-after; the grounds, extensive and colorful with local flora, were beautifully maintained, and the staff was both attentive and discreet. Our group consisted of six families, a mix of adults, teens, and young children, and everyone was happy: there was no end to the discoveries around the property - extensive lawns, lush orange groves, hidden caves, courtyards, verandas, and surprise retreats. Our meals were delicious and all of the staff were sweet and amenable to our many and varied dietary needs. A wonderful experience for everyone that I would highly recommend. We were so well looked after in the kitchen! We weren't sure what to expect regarding food preparation as we had only pre-arranged a few meals... but the staff was always willing and eager to prepare meals for us whenever it was needed. - Sara W.
Cornelia
Europe / Italy / Sicily
Just 7 kilometers from the beach, surrounded by lush orchard gardens, is Cornelia, a restored 17th-century farmhouse.
Overview
The property rests on a working farm estate of 247 acres with olive and orange groves, a rich variety of Mediterranean flowers, and even a horse riding facility. The spacious villa, offering views of Mt. Etna, provides tranquility and privacy with a central courtyard. Cornelia provides a truly elegant and relaxing retreat with its many archways, vibrant interiors, fireplaces and fountains.
Each sun-filled room in this villa has high ceilings, calming hues, and a distinct style. Surrounded by greenery, the swimming pool area is a haven complete with Turkish bath and sauna. The villa owners may reside in the right wing of the main villa accessible via private entry. With its prime location between Catania and Siracusa, this is a great starting point for trips to main tourist attractions in Sicily.
