Rent The Best Luxury Holiday Villas
Sitting on the grounds of a vast citrus farm, this elegant home is an oasis where you can get away from it all and truly unwind. With three sumptuously decorated buildings that can comfortably accommodate up to twenty guests, Villa Sashi is the perfect place for a larger group to stay, as there will be plenty of room for everyone in the entertaining spaces and gardens.
The same family has owned the land which encircles the home for 600 years. The owners take great care of their land, producing delicious organically grown citrus fruits, and the same love and attention to detail has gone into the restoration of the villa.
The home was bought many centuries ago and has been renovated and furnished to the highest standard. The interiors are warm and inviting, giving the villa a feeling of a real home away from home. Each room has been painted in a pretty tone which befits the feel of the period building and boasts antique furnishings and high-quality linens. The high ceilings and large windows allow the buildings to be filled with light which pours in from the garden and illuminates decorative details and artwork.
The villa is spread across three separate buildings, all close to each other. There is the main villa, where you will find eight gorgeous bedrooms. The other bedrooms are in the guest house, which can sleep up to six guests, so it would be ideal for an individual family. The other building is the pool house and orangery, an excellent place for guests to gather together in the expansive, window-lined living room or the grand-dining room just off the professional kitchen, used by private chefs. Villa Sashi is a fully-staffed villa, so housekeeping staff are included for seven hours daily, and three meals a day will be cooked for you.
Upstairs there is a huge studio space where you can take classes such as yoga and Pilates. All parts of this large, family home are well-decorated and offer all modern conveniences such as Wi-Fi, Smart TVs and Air conditioning to make your stay even more relaxing.
There is plenty to do and lots of land to explore here without needing to leave the estate. You can enjoy lazy days lounging around the pool area and tucking into a leisurely lunch al fresco. After unwinding in the garden, you could put on your running gear and head out on a jog around the beautiful trails surrounding the home, or maybe you would prefer to book a guided tour of the farm which would be fun for the whole family. The estate covers a vast amount of ground where you can walk, picnic in the shade of an orange tree, or play tennis. You can also book exercise classes at the home, or if you are a foodie, you could take a cooking course here and learn some recipes to take back home with you.
When you wish to dine out in the evening, drive to the nearest village, Scordia, located 14km away. For a wider range of amenities, there is Catania, a thriving historic city which is 30km away. You are also within easy reach of several sandy beaches, such as Lido Azzurro, near Catania and filled with elegant beach clubs.
This spacious home is spread over three stunning buildings. The bedrooms can be found in the main villa and a guest house in the grounds while the pool house and orangery boasts large living and dining areas and a professional kitchen for events.
Villa Sashi can sleep 20 guests across 10 bedrooms. 6 additional guests can be accommodated on extra beds and sofa beds – please enquire for more details.
Please note that Villa Sashi is fully-staffed. The rental rate includes housekeeping staff for 7 hrs per day. Chef service for 3 meals per day are included in your booking, but the food and beverages will be billed separately.
Due to the rural nature of the home guests will need to bring a car.
