Villa Rica has a panoramic swimming pool surrounded by Sicilian countryside. You will find yourself in a peaceful Mediterranean oasis, among centuries old olive, orange and fruit groves. All the rooms at the Villa have private balconies offering panoramic views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Eolian Islands. They all come with a satellite TV, a minibar, and air conditioning. Their en suite bathrooms come with free toiletries. The Rica's restaurant serves genuine Sicilian dishes. The 42 hectares of gardens and orchards offer a perfect setting to relax or practice trekking. The seaside is 7 km away from the property. The Villa can also arrange excursions to the nearby islands and Mount Etna.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.9 for a two-person trip.
