VILLA IL PADRINO - CATANIA

Villa Profile

Milo Catania

Description

As could be expected from a villa of its age, the rooms are of large proportions with very high ceilings, giving a cooling, airy effect. The furnishings are solid in keeping with the style of the building, and the bathrooms are newly installed and nicely tiled. Although a modern kitchen has been completed, the original kitchen has been saved as a relic and is quite amazing. For immediate provisions there are a few shops and restaurants in the village of Milo and three kilometres away at Zafferana is a wider range. Just thirty kilometres from Catania, the region offers much for culture vultures, relaxation in the mildness of the climate and fun at the village summer festivals.

Location

Milo is a summer, hillside resort founded in the 14th century and having a scattering of old, dignified villas. Villa Il Padrino is 500 metres above the village at the end of a one hundred metre driveway from a secondary road and set in immense grounds with tall, mature trees. Shady areas have been furnished for dining out, but the front of the house also has a circular furnished terrace that is open to the sun and a magnificent vista. On a lower level, the owners have installed an above ground swimming pool.
