Maude

Set in the wine region over the slopes of Mount Etna, and approximately 20-kilometres north of Catania, the second largest city of Sicily, Villa Maude offers the ideal balance between the sea and the countryside, the traditional and the modern. Located in an area of great natural beauty, this newly restored independent villa is a haven of calm and serenity. Crossing its gates you will think the time here stopped a while ago. The facade of the property remains in fact unchanged retaining the structure of a typical wine making facility. The interiors have been completely renovated with a contemporary eye, and this juxtaposition creates a nice and dramatic contrast.

Sicily, like all regions of Italy, has its own rich and unique culture, especially with regard to the arts, music, literature, cuisine, architecture and language. From ancient times Sicily has been conquered by many powerful civilizations coming from all sides of the Mediterranean and from the distant north. Because of its rich and varied past, Sicily today is an amalgam of all these various artistic and architectural influences that have been absorbed during the centuries creating something extraordinary you will be charmed by. It is impossible to list here all the great things Sicily has to offer - one must visit the island and try himself, one must meet the people, eat their food and smell the air to really understand what Sicily is all about.
