Overview

Villa Alim is a restored stone farmhouse located in Milo, a small village on the eastern slopes of Mount Etna. The villa enjoys a quiet, elevated position with wide views stretching from the surrounding countryside to the Ionian Sea. The setting feels open and rural, yet remains within easy reach of coastal towns and Etna’s walking trails.

Recently restored, the property retains the character of old Sicily through the use of lava stone, timber beams, ceramics and selected antique furnishings. The atmosphere is warm and residential rather than formal, with generous shared spaces designed for relaxed gatherings.

Villa Alim is particularly suited to larger families or groups seeking privacy, outdoor space and a traditional setting, while remaining within comfortable driving distance of Taormina, Catania and the eastern Sicilian coastline.

Outdoor Living & Interiors

Outdoor Living

The outdoor areas are extensive and well organised. A large saltwater swimming pool sits within the landscaped garden, positioned to make the most of the sea views. Sun loungers, shaded seating areas and wide terraces allow guests to spread out comfortably throughout the day.

A gazebo and outdoor dining spaces create natural gathering points for meals and evening conversations, with the surrounding garden providing privacy and a sense of calm.

Comfort & Design

Inside, the villa unfolds across two floors. The ground floor includes a living room with fireplace, a kitchen with dining area, one bedroom with en-suite bathroom, two additional bedrooms (one walk-through) and two further bathrooms. On the first floor there are three bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms, an additional bathroom and a large panoramic terrace.

The interiors balance traditional Sicilian character with practical modern comfort. Lava stone floors, wooden beams and local ceramic details give the villa personality, while air conditioning, Wi-Fi and well-equipped kitchen facilities ensure everyday convenience.

The layout allows both shared living and privacy. The ground floor accommodates communal activities, while the first floor offers quieter bedroom spaces and access to the panoramic terrace.
