Ananda Villa, Your Countryside Escape in Sicily

Located in the heart of Sicily, on the Iblei Mountains, a few miles away from the Unesco Heritage Village, Palazzolo Acreide , Villa Ananda is a traditional Mediterranean house, nested on a top of a gorge with terraces covered by olive tree, fruits tree and wild Sicilian flowers and pants. Although few minutes drive from the main village , as soon you will step in, you will be far away with your mind from the daily routine and feeling at home in Sicily with us!
On the first floor of the house there are 3 rooms only for guests; 2 twin/double rooms with sharing bathroom , Malva and Pomelia and 1 double room with ensuite bathroom, Calendula. On the ground floor a large living room to share with us and eventually other guest, although during summer our " salotto " is the garden.
An external veranda where the breakfast will be served and where there is a fridge, and basic appliances (kettle, toaster and sink) and an induction cooker for the guest.
We have also a barbecue available for our guests.
The most beautiful things of the house are the 2 hectares of land around you, that is almost like to have a private park and you can do trekking every day and find a quiet spot only for you. There are 63 centennial olive trees, carrube trees several fruits tree, typical Mediterranean plants and wild herbs.
The entire villa has been rebuilt on the foundations of a 1856 residence, used by monks of the diocesi of Noto, and still now it's visible a water cisterna of over 10,000 lt .
From a secondary access to the villa, through a rocky path you reach the bottom of the valley where there is an ancient well.
From the villa you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the Iblei mountains and the valley.
We moved in this house , after 7 years in Cambodia ( where I also had a b&b) last April 2019 and we are working hard to improve this beautiful house and make our guest feeling like at their own house.
If you also are a cats lover, we have 5 sweet cats ( 4 from Cambodia and 1 Sicilian) and a nice and quiet dog , all looking for new friends and cuddles.
The Villa is close enough to the main village, only 5 minutes drive, but far enough to feel that you are far away of everything!
A 3x8 mt swimming pool is almost complete ( June 2021 )
