Description:

RECEPTIVE STRUCTURE (CIR CODE: 19087048C223468; CIN CODE: IT087048C2BZNFRY79). Villa Ingrid is located just outside the small town of Santa Venerina, in an agricultural area at an altitude of 200 m on the slopes of Etna. It is located in an ideal position for exploring the small villages along the perimeter of the slopes of Etna where you can find excellent restaurants and renowned cellars for tasting local wines and products. We are about half an hour by car from the two most important centres, Acireale and Giarre. The well-known town of Taormina is just over 30 km away. Villa Ingrid was once the home of a large vineyard in the 20th century. After being abandoned for many years, it was purchased and transformed into a villa for events, as it was possible to make use of large spaces both inside and outside. The villa is structured on two levels, with elegant living areas, a modern and well-equipped kitchen with access to the panoramic outdoor terrace and six elegant suites, all with air conditioning and private bathroom. The style is modern and versatile and each bedroom has particular details. One with a small terrace with a view of Mount Etna, one with bathtub in the room and others with a sitting room. The pride of the place is the wellness area which has been created on the ground floor, with a heated swimming pool, Jacuzzi tub with solarium, Swedish sauna, massage room and gym; furthermore, a separate structure houses a projection room and a billiard room. Surrounding the house is a large level park, with vast expanses of lawn dotted with palm trees and a large swimming pool with solarium with, just a few steps away, a table under the shade of a portico, perfect for a game of cards in good company.

VILLA INGRID HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO A CHECK-UP BY A TECHNICAL RESPONSIBLE BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON, TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY OF THE DESCRIPTION, ACCESSORIES LISTED ON THIS PAGE AND THEIR PRESENT STATE OF OPERATION/MAINTENANCE, TO GUARANTEE QUALITY, CLEANLINESS AND COMFORTS TO ALL CLIENTS WHO WILL STAY HERE.

Interior:

Villa Ingrid has two floors connected by external stairs and a convenient lift. The ground floor, reachable via a short flight of stairs, is destined as a leisure/relaxation area; here is the SPA (on request with extra payment) with indoor heated swimming pool, jacuzzi with solarium, sauna, massage room (available only with professional massage therapist). The gym accessible from the outside is located on a mezzanine floor. The projection room and the billiard room are located in the pool house. An external staircase, or the lift, lead up to the heart of the house on the upper foor, consisting of a large bright living room with small workstation, two lounge areas, one with fireplace and the second with sofas, an elegant dining table and a grand piano. From this living area you proceed to a double bedroom with sitting area and small terrace with a view of Mount Etna, served by an en-suite bathroom with shower, and to a double bedroom with tub in the room and en-suite bathroom with shower. The corridor from the living room leads to the well-equipped linear kitchen, with direct access to the terrace equipped with dining area (from where you can then proceed down the majestic double staircase that leads to the park and pool area), and to a further four double bedrooms, each with en-suite bathroom, three with shower and one with tub. On the first floor, lastly, is a small room used as a laundry room with washer-dryer and various equipment.

Park:

Five thousand metres of park form the wonderful setting of Villa Ingrid, enlivened by gardens, lawn areas and paved paths bordered by secular trees, palms and potted flowers. The upper floor terrace, with easy access from the kitchen, has a dining area shaded by a pergola. Near the swimming pool is another relaxation area protected by a large portico. The property is accessed through an automatic gate, past which is the large parking area. 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:

The pool area is located at the rear of the villa, about 150 m away, and reached down the flight of stairs from the terrace. You can avoid the stairs by using the lift located at the front of the house. The area is bordered by a railing on one side and by an expanse of lawn dotted with palm trees. At the centre lies the rectangular pool with rounded edges, embellished by a small waterfall that ends in a second small pool, creating a pleasant background of flowing water. The pool, measuring 4 x 14 m with the depth varying from 1,20 to 1,90 m, is lined in mosaic and has chlorine purification and two metal ladders for access. On the terracotta paving surrounding the pool are sunbeds and umbrellas. In a slightly steep area is a table and chairs shaded by a portico. A cold-water shower is available. The swimming pool is open from the last Saturday of April until the first Saturday of October.

Pets: Yes, small size. € 50,00 per animal per week or part of week.

Location and distances


Villa Ingrid is located ten minutes by car from the small town of Santa Venerina, one of the many municipalities located along the perimeter of the slopes of Etna. The villa is located in an ideal position for exploring the villages of Etna such as Zafferana, a must along the excursion route on Etna which can be visited in various ways, with guides or independently, hiking or by bike, and maybe opting for a stop at the foot of Etna to sample the local products. The old town of Randazzo, called the Black City due to the extensive use of lava stone in the town architecture, is surprising for the numerous churches and basilicas scattered throughout its historic centre, perched at 750 m above sea level and 15 km from the central crater. Bronte, renowned throughout the world for the production of pistachios and nestled on the slopes of Etna, offers from the top of its hills a unique landscape in which the houses, superimposed on each other, stand out among the mass of lava rocks. In the larger towns of Acireale and Giarre-Riposto, within 10 km, are supermarkets, numerous bars and restaurants as well as famous churches, squares and palaces. For basic necessities you can go to Linera, a district of Santa Venerina about 4 km away, with restaurants, a pizzeria and a small supermarket. For the adventurous, about 13 km away, is the Etna Adventure Park with itineraries for all ages; if you want to take a boat trip, the tourist port of Riposto, about 10 km away, offers numerous opportunities for exploring the beauty of the surrounding areas, from Taormina (about half an hour from the villa), up to Etna and the Alcantara Gorges.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Ingrid. The property is quite modern, safe and very spacious. The property manager was very responsive and helpful with everything we needed. We cannot think of any better place to stay in Sicily for a group of 8 to 12. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Ingrid. The property is quite modern, safe and very spacious. The property manager was very responsive and helpful with everything we needed. We cannot think of any better place to stay in Sicily for a group of 8 to 12. Thank you!

And to protect you in the case of damage caused to the property?

ZER0DEP COVER - by EuropAssistance (Mandatory) 49€ each reservation The new "Zer0Dep" guarantee protects you and allows you to have a tranquil holiday. Zer0Dep stands for "Zero deposit"; it is an insurance coverage developed in partnership with EuropAssistance which replaces the security deposit and which is therefore mandatory. The benefits of this guarantee are: you do not pay the security deposit on arrival: neither in cash nor by immobilising a substantial amount on your credit card limit;
  • you are protected in the case of eventual damage to the property caused accidentally during your stay (up to the maximum limit of 1500 euro);
  • you avoid any dispute on the responsibility of the damage and its quantification during check-out;
  • you can enjoy your villa holiday in greater tranquillity.
