VILLA CHARME 6

Sicilia - Palermo - CEFALÙ
Sleeps: 6
Bedrooms: 3
(3 doubles)
Bathrooms: 3
(3 with shower. Of which en-suite bathrooms: 3)

Description:

RECEPTIVE STRUCTURE. Nestled in the enchanting Madonie Nature Reserve, Villa Charme is the ideal retreat for those seeking mountain tranquility without giving up proximity to the sea. Located between the picturesque village of Castelbuono and the stunning coastline of Cefalù, the villa enjoys a privileged position that offers the best of both rural and coastal Sicily. Surrounded by green mountains and a well-tended garden with blooming flower beds, the villa features a refined panoramic pool, perfect for relaxing in the peaceful embrace of nature. The outdoor spaces are designed for open-air living: a dining and lounge area under a pergola, adjacent to the kitchen and built-in barbecue, invites guests to enjoy convivial moments outdoors. The interiors combine elegance and tradition: light tones alternate with exposed stone walls, wooden beam ceilings, terracotta floors, and colorful ceramic tiles that echo the Sicilian style with a modern twist. With three double bedrooms, the villa comfortably accommodates up to six guests. The area offers countless opportunities for exploration and adventure: from the Roman ruins of Tindari to trekking trails among the Madonie peaks, and boat trips to the Aeolian Islands. Nearby villages are full of charming alleys, historical monuments, and authentic flavours to savour in local markets and traditional trattorias.

THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO A CHECK-UP BY OUR TECHNICAL MANAGER, TO ENSURE THE CONSISTENCY OF THE DESCRIPTION, THE ACCESSORIES LISTED ON THE WEBSITE AND THEIR PRESENT STATE OF OPERATION/MAINTENANCE

Interior:

The main entrance opens directly onto the bright open-plan living area, where a modern dining space with an island kitchen unfolds on one side. Large windows frame the lush landscape and provide direct access to the outdoor areas, creating a harmonious flow between indoor and outdoor living. From the living room, a hallway leads to two double bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms with showers (one of the bathrooms does not include a bidet). One of the bedrooms has direct access to the garden through a large French door, offering a pleasant connection to nature. This level also includes a convenient laundry room and a guest bathroom. A short staircase of four steps leads to the mezzanine, where the third double bedroom is located. This room has a private terrace with an outdoor lounge area and an en-suite bathroom with shower (without bidet).

Park:

The spacious grounds stretch generously across the typical Sicilian countryside, with olive groves and fruit trees. Around the house, a manicured garden combines a lush English-style lawn with paved walkways and aromatic flower beds. The terrace overlooking the greenery features a shaded pergola with a lounge area, a dining table, and a built-in barbecue—perfect for moments of relaxation or al fresco dinners. Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.

Swimming Pool:

Just a few steps from the villa lies the pool, nestled in a peaceful corner of the garden. It is partially surrounded by an English lawn, a large wooden sun deck with loungers, and paved areas with stone-effect tiles. The pool measures 10 x 3.4 meters, with a depth ranging from 1.40 to 1.70 meters. It features a natural stone edge, Roman steps for easy access, and a PVC interior lining. An outdoor shower is located nearby. The pool is chlorine-treated and illuminated at night. It is open from May 1st to October 31st.
