19th Century House with Gardens, Sea View and Wifi, in Viscalori village

19th century house with private gardens in an elegant village called Viscalori, with many charming old houses, chapels and churches. Just 300 m away is the centre of Viagrande with restaurants, good cafes, shops and a place where to rent bikes.
The famous Benanti winery offering wine tasting, tours and cooking classes is at only 15 minutes by foot.

You will recognise Casa Edera from its romantic facade covered by ivy and American grapevines. Indoor the house feels cosy and authentically Sicilian.

The ground floor consists of a living room with fireplace, a bathroom with shower, and a kitchen with 19th century features combined with new appliances such as a brand new dishwasher. The three bedrooms and a half bathroom are on the first floor.

The bedrooms have access to a balcony from where you can enjoy a nice view reaching to the sea.

In summer the private gardens are further embellished with a pergola overflowing with grapes. The shade and the scent will aid to a deep relaxation. In winter, the fireplace downstairs and the typical microclimate of Viagrande, characterised by dry and mild winters - guarantees a pleasant stay.

All in all, Casa Edera is the ideal place for an authentic Sicilian stay.

This is your place if:
- you wish to escape the impossible heat (typical of the summer months) and a horde of tourists;
- you dream to explore Mount Etna and all its villages rich in local products;
- you love wine and your dying to know more about Etna wines with some inspiring wine tastings.

Casa Edera is at 3 minutes drives from the main road that connects all the villages around the volcano.
In turn, this allows you to easily access the highway to the major Sicilian towns.

One private parking right in front of the house.

===== ACCOMMODATION DESCRIPTION =====

A lovely base to explore north of Sicily. Plenty of space for a group with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Hosts were very friendly and responsive. All amenities as listed. Cool temperatures in the lovely gardens. Narrow roads for driving so small car recommended. Thank you!!

10/10

Property has lots of character and offers a typical Sicilian experience far away from tourist areas. Many good restaurants nearby, some in walking distance. A car is essential to visit the wider area. Garden areas perfect for relaxing.

We could had not have been more happy staying at Giulia’s. Rosella and her husband greeted us kindly and gave us a wonderful welcome. We even were able to check in a little earlier than expected. The interior is very tasteful, the kitchen fully equipped to cook delicious meals to dine in the garden outside. We loved it all and had a great time exploring the area. We felt the corner lot situation with front and rear gardens, are ideal. We are very grateful for this very good experience and can highly recommend the house.

This is a charming old house with pleasant gardens in front and back. It feels like a real home, which we enjoyed. Out hosts welcomed us personally; they were very communicative and helpful. We visited in late April/early May with the temperature dropping to 12 degrees Celsius at night, and it was a bit chilly in the house in the evening/night. The neighborhood is very residential with a bakery and shops about ten minutes away on foot.

This house is amazing!! Incredibly charming and beautiful and Giulia was the perfect host: quick to respond, attentive and kind. We very much enjoyed our stay and will for sure be back again. The house is located in a beautiful little town without loads of tourists which we enjoyed. You do need a car to go explore the area but the house has parking out in front so that was no problem!

Honestly, don't know where to start. This home (and home owners) are the best stay and welcome you can imagine. We had a wonderful stay in the beautiful gardens and characteristic house - we felt at home immediately. The owners did an amazing job of creating a house with identity while making it a comfortabel place to stay. Tip for the neighbourhood - it's good to rent a car in Sicily it gets you to many more beautiful places. For groceries you can walk easily. Let's just say, we will be back soon!

Exceptionally beautiful house with beautiful, original furnishings. There is still an old wood-burning stove in the kitchen, which blends charmingly into the room. We did not use the back garden as it was too shady for April temperatures. It is certainly an oasis in summer. Our children liked the Hollywood swing. Also positive: the location, the quiet neighbourhood, the view from the balcony over the village. The hosts are very cordial and it was no problem to check out very early and we could use the fireplace in the living room.

This rental, is a true AirBnB in the original sense: it is a lived-in home that has been owned by the tenant’s family for several generations and is fully equipped with all thinkable amenities, ranging from a washing machine, an iron, a dish washer, a gas oven… This super clean and spacious place is one of the most beautiful and tastefully furnished homes imaginable and transports you back into the early 19th century. The flair is as if you were staying with Virginia Woolf at the Bloomsberry Group’s house. The three bedrooms (of which one is attached to another small bathroom) are located upstairs and can each be accessed individually, which was great for us three friends traveling together. Additionally, this house has its own parking lot and an incredibly beautiful garden which we were asked to water at night. The owners were very kind and showed us around upon arrival and said goodbye to us in person. We rented the place for two weeks and managed without a car for one, renting a vehicle for the second part of our vacation (there is a rental place in walking distance in Viagrande – the closest village). Getting to the house is a little tricky by public transport, which is why we took a cab to and from the airport. The location is a little bit off the main track, tucked in a residential area, however, with a car you can easily visit the Etna, near-by wineries, the beach, as well as embark on some day trips to Catania and other places. For us, this house was a beautiful base for a vacation we will forever remember!

Casa muy cómoda, bien equipada y en muy buen estado. Los dos patios nos han dado mucho juego para las cenas y desayunos al aire libre en estos días de agosto de mucho calor .Los anfitriones han sido muy amables y atentos en todo momento

Ons bezoek aan het huis van Giulia in Viagrande was erg fijn. Het is een prachtig huis met een geweldige voor en achtertuin waar je heerlijk tot rust komt en kunt ontsnappen aan de drukte van de stad. De keuken is klein maar zeer gezellig en was van alle gemakken voorzien. De slaapkamers waren ruim en sfeervol ingericht en de bedden sliepen lekker. De bakker en de supermarkt zijn op loopafstand, maar je moet wel stijl dalen en klimmen. Wanneer je een langer verblijf hebt raden wij een auto aan, de host heeft ons hier ook op gewezen. Contact verliep altijd snel, soepel en vriendelijk. Ze zijn zeer behulpzaam. In de zomermaanden zijn er ventilatoren beschikbaar. Het huis beschikt niet over een airco. Het is in de zomer erg warm. We hebben een super verblijf gehad in deze mooie villa en raden hem iedereen aan!

Vi hade en härlig vecka i huset. Trädgården är helt fantastisk och vi njöt av att sitta ute på kvällarna och äta middag. Vi fick ett varmt välkomnande av ägarna och det var lätt att komma i kontakt med Rossella när vi hade frågor. Sovrummen hade bekväma sängar och ett bra kök där vi lagade våra middagar. Även bra med två badrum. Det var mycket bra med parkering precis utanför huset. Närhet till bra butik där vi kunde handla allt vi behövde för veckan. Vi gjorde olika utflykter med bil till städer och även till Etna. Vi hade en mycket bra vecka i Viagrande och kan varmt rekommendera att hyra detta hus.

Une très belle maison au charme authentique. La terrasse et le jardin permettent d'apprécier la douceur printanière de la Sicile dans un cadre verdoyant. La localisation offre une vue imprenable sur la Méditerranée. Idéalement placé pour découvrir l'Etna.

Superbe maison ancienne sur les pentes de l’Etna doté d’un jardin secret magnifique. Hôtes extrêmement sympathiques, réactifs et disponibles qui participent au plaisir du séjour. Très propre, literie confortable, adaptée pour une famille même avec bébé. Attention la voiture reste indispensable pour se déplacer dans la région. Heureusement, la maison a un emplacement de parking rare dans le coin. On recommande !!!!

Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und insbesondere Rossella ist eine unglaublich liebenswerte und hilfsbereite Person! Sie hat uns bei einem persönlichem Problem geholfen und ist mit uns mehrere Stunden durch die Gegend gefahren. Wir würden jederzeit wieder dort Urlaub machen.

Nous avons passé une semaine merveilleuse dans cette maison pleine de charme. Le jardin est paradisiaque, luxuriant et délicat, et la cour fleurie devant la maison absolument délicieuse aussi. L’ameublement est magnifique, très soigné, confortable et bien entretenu. La région est parfaite pour un séjour sicilien idéal : visites de l’Etna, plages proches, villages aux alentours où l’on trouve des commerces de très grande qualité pour cuisiner. Le café Urna est devenu notre deuxième maison! Les hôtes sont serviables et charmants, bref, un séjour de rêve!

Nous avons passé une très agréable semaine dans cette maison qui est idéalement située sur les hauteurs de Viagrande. La maison est spacieuse et possède un charmant jardin ombragé qui offre une appréciable oasis de fraîcheur en fin de journée. Les chambres sont très confortables et meublées avec goût. Nous remercions Mariarosa et son mari pour leur accueil très sympathique. Nous recommandons vivement cette location et serions ravis d’y revenir un jour !

Your hosts couldn’t be more helpful, nice and kind, they are warm and helps you to feel welcome immediately. I will recommend this home to everyone who want to have a quiet base in between every attraction of the Catania region, from where you can relax in your own therapeutic garden and live the settings of Sicilian history. Stayed here for 14 days and couldn’t be happier, close to the center with resturants, supermarkets and other practicalities. Within a short ride from the home, you can be at the beach or the top of Etna, cities of Nicolosi, Zafferna Etnea or Acireale. The home is so beautiful and gives you the true sensation of being in the heart of Sicily, with all the little details around inside the house and outside in the garden, will make you relax and feel at home immediately. It quickly turns it into you own getaway, where you can enjoy the home or garden settings or read in the hanging sofa, when you don’t want to go out. All the rooms were spacious and super clean and tidy, big and light, with a view to the beautiful front garden. Extremely well impressed experience and to the hosts, thank you for your hospitality!

This house is well decorated in old Sicilian style, with a beautiful garden. You could say quite romantic. The area, with the typical small Etna villages, vineyards and lemon yards, is very special. From one side of the house you have a very nice view over the see to Calabria. The kitchen is well equipped for the people that love to make their own dishes of all the great fresh ingredients you can buy at he local shops.
