About this property

Enchanting Villa, with private pool and enchanting views of Etna Vulcano

  • Villa Stella is located in the prestigious Baia del Riccio, on the coast between Catania and Siracusa. Kissed by the blue Ionian sea, caressed by the sun of Sicily and protected by the 'giant' Mount Etna, this Bay, enjoys a privileged location on the east coast. Important historical, architectural and naturalistic sites, are very close to Baia del Riccio.
    Villa Stella offers its guests unique emotions and offers itself as a dream villa for unforgettable holidays.
    The landscape, one of the many strengths of the villa, is typically Sicilian, where Mount Etna, the sea and plants combine to give joy, wonder, color, lights to the guests of 'Stella'.
    The tranquility and well being are components of the features of the villa, along with the sweet song of birds and the sound of the waves.
    The external environment has a large well kept garden with trees, flowers and plants typical of the Mediterranean, several outdoor areas equipped and covered where to have dinner and a lovely terrace overlooking the sea, with a lovely pool.
    The Mediterranean look of the villa, the proximity to the sea, the landscape, the lights of the sun or stars, offer guests a special atmosphere.
    Villa Stella, with all the comforts, accommodates up to 14 people. The large interior is set over two floors. The living area comprises: kitchen, a large, comfortable living-room and three bathrooms. The night area comprises: 7 double bedrooms, carefully detailed, of refined taste and furnished in the style of the villa.

This property was a great base for our stay in Sicily. Amazing views, a great pool and plenty of shaded areas to sit under during the hottest part of the day. Fully equipped and had everything we needed while there. Fantastic hosts (although English not their first language) communicated well and even checked in during the week to make sure we didn’t need anything. Would definitely recommend hiring a car for staying here but that didn’t put us off.

We had an amazing stay at this villa and it honestly exceeded our expectations. The property is absolutely beautiful, and the photos don’t quite do it justice.We were a large group of family and friends, and there was more than enough space for everyone to spread out and relax without ever feeling cramped. There are so many different seating and lounging areas, with a great mix of sun and shade throughout the day. The pool was definitely a highlight – it’s fantastic and where we spent most of our time.There’s also a lovely beach just a one-minute walk down the road with crystal-clear water and great swimming, which was a huge bonus.The villa is a little tricky to find the first time, but once you know the turn off the highway it’s really straightforward. I’d definitely recommend having a car, but we found it to be the perfect base for exploring Noto, Siracusa, Taormina, and several other beautiful local beach towns.We would 100% recommend staying here and would absolutely love to come back one day. Thanks again for a fantastic stay!

Lovely villa with an amazing view

We really enjoyed our stay at the villa! The view and garden are amazing, and although the villa is a bit dated, it’s charming and clean. Gianni and Franca did a fantastic job taking care of the house and helping out when needed. I truly recommend the villa to any large family or group!

What a Beautiful Space & Gracious Hosts

My husband, my friends and I had a beautiful stay at this charming villa overlooking the sea! We even got to see Mt. Etna erupting one morning from the patios and gardens! Everything went very smoothly from check-in to check-out. We even opted in to a beautiful dinner prepared for our group after a long day trip up Mt. Etna and the several-course meal was divine, ending with a magnificent homemade tiramisu! I will be recommending this place to friends and family who have already started asking where I found it!

Family vacation

The property was wonderful. We appreciated the charm and historic feel of the Villa. A rental car is a big advantage but we also found many reliable cab companies. Enjoyed an incredible Sicilian feast prepared by Francesca and her daughter, just wonderful. Patio dinning with the water view and waves was perfect. Thank you.

Great location and very comfortable

Check in was a nightmare. Family was supposed to meet host at airport with a cot - but he was no where to be found. Directions to villa were very scattered but finally arrived met by housekeeper and shown around the villa. It was old and in need of some updating but very comfortable for our party of 10. Beds and bathroom were very clean and comfortable. Pool was lovely although it was still warm enough to swim in the sea. All in all a wonderful holiday.

Great location for a Sicilian adventure!

We spent 3 weeks here in 2023 at the end of September through mid-October and had the best time.The yard and pool are worth everything! The house is well located if you want to hit the road, as we often did, but tricky to find initially (save Esso Costa Saracena in your GPS). Great sandwich shop just down the road and main grocery store 10 min away. Both the owner and the property managers were accessible on WhatsApp and always very helpful, but you'll need your translator app if you don't speak Italian. We miss Sicily and the house every day!

Huge, beautiful home with breathtaking views

This house was amazing for our family of six. There was more than enough room for all of us, and the outdoor space was so great we spent most of our time soaking up the sun and view from the beautiful pool and multiple sitting areas. The pictures don't do justice to the gorgeous blue sea and views of Etna. The property owner, Nando, was always quick to respond and extremely helpful when we had trouble finding the house on arrival. The host, Gianni and his wife, were so sweet and accommodating during our visit. We didn't want to leave. If you're coming to Catania, do yourself a favor and stay at this house!

The best property I’ve ever stayed at on vacation

This place is amazing. The beach is a few steps away down the hill You can swim to a secluded rock beach The pool is a refreshing saltwater luxury The house is spacious well furnished The kitchen is amazingly stocked compared to properties we usually rent We cook at home for most of our trip because we like being together and Doing our own thing. The property managers who checked us were kind and helpful and available. You do need to follow the booking instructions in terms of directions and contacting the property managers prior to arrival There is plenty of parking the property managers handle the garbage for you, which is nice in Italy, which has this very complicated garbage sorting system I Would love to come back to this property with friends and family

Carter Family

The villa is in a beautiful spot with a view of Mt Etna. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating, not much English and our Italian was worse. Translation app helped a lot. There were 12 of us and the kids were in the pool most of the day. It’s in between Catalina and Syracuse so you definitely need a car. The villa itself is older and in a quiet area and large sitting areas outside and inside.. Kitchen is small and no toaster but we used the oven.

Large house with nice outdoor areas

The house is old and rather poorly maintained. The outdoor area and swimming pool are lovely by the sea and have a view to Etna. The house is located by itself in a closed area, so you need a car to get around. Driving distance to shopping for food is 20 minutes and there are no restaurants within walking distance of the house. Although the Ionian Sea is directly below, it is not possible to swim there due to the lack of a bathing ladder. The host is very friendly and served us a lovely Sicilian dinner one evening.

large but quirky property

Fabulous view and plenty of room as advertised. Vastly unequal options for bedrooms. Cannot state strongly enough how our stay was negatively affected by an absent UNREACHABLE and uninformative host. No actual address. No information on how to open the gate to the property. No guide to the winding streets within the gated community. No system for checkout - how to leave the house keys and gate opener AFTER using it to exit. I finally had to call VRBO support from a roadside gas station to get any useful assistance. It should be noted that communication is only possible by WhatsApp and then still unresponsive.

Idealic estate

My wife and I invited friends to join us for a week at Villa Stella. We all had a wonderful time enjoying the prime property on a cliff overlooking Mt Etna and Mediterranean Sea. The property and building is just amazing place to enjoy with friends. The stonework needs a lot of pointing and areas of rebuilding but am amazed at the work that was put into the building in its construction years past. I am a long distance swimmer and was in heaven having quiet waters to swim in. The only issue which is common in the Mediterranean now days are the jellyfish population. If I return I would bring a full body suit and gloves to better prevent possible stings on my long swims. On one stroke I punched down into the center of the bell and luckily did not get stung as the tentacles are on the underside. A car is a must to enjoy the exquisite restaurants in nearby brucoli which is a 15 min drive. recommended for high end dining is Straventa and Castello. The closest restaurant has great laidback fare across the bay on the beach is Il Triangolo. The only drawback is like I said needs a lot of work to make it perfect but if that happens I probably couldn’t afford to stay at it,so as long as you are fine with a few imperfect items you will love it.

This is a wonderful house. Amazing views across the sea to Etna. The outside areas are fabulous and we also had access to a private beach/swimming area as well as the pool. The bedrooms were spacious and air conditioned and most of them had views across the sea. We felt very welcomed and had a great week with extended family

Absolutely beautiful villa with stunning views of Etna, and so much wonderful outdoor space. One of the property managers (who really were the best, and so kind and helpful) cooked our group of 9 an incredible meal one night—it was probably the best meal we had in Sicily, and I highly recommend.

Authentic and lovely

We loved this house! The Etna view made it magic. The kids loved the pool and the diving board. We loved the different out door lounges. Being a group of 12 was not a problem, enough Space for everybody. If all the bathrooms had shower (not bathtub) it would be even better. We would like to stay here again.

Feels like home

I rented the villa for a week to celebrate my birthday with a group pf friends. The house is vast and the rooms can easily accommodate a big group of people. The outside space is stunning with several little corners that each has a little something of dolce vita - and the vue... unbeatable. The commodities are a bit old - as expected - but overall the house has everything you need : kitchen is equipped, Wi-Fi works perfectly. Located a bit outside of the city but still very convenient to travel across the coast. Would definitely recommend this place !

Stunning view

Large villa with a stunning view. The sea is only few meters away, requires to walk down the hill. Wonderful experience! You can hear the waves and Etna looks down on you with majestic look.A/C included but you can use only five machines at the same time. If all the bedrooms are in use and need cooling, you must take turns. We used all of them (didn't know the rule) because it was very hot and this caused the fuses to break down and we lost almost all the electricity.Helpful staff, but they didn't speak English. Very friendly Italian couple who were available if needed.The villa itself was huge. Kitchen was tiny, but we managed still quite well.
