We stayed there for a week in April, and have only the best impressions of that stay. The location is very quiet and peaceful, with a great view from the terraces and rooms. It is up the hill, but with a car you are down to the sea-shore in just 15 minutes.It is in the middle of a orange orchard,... More

We chose Villa Rica because of its wonderful location in the hills overlooking the Mediterranean sea and the Aeolian islands: we stayed in a room in a converted barn of just two rooms with its own verandah and magnificent views over the pool to the sea with the forested hills behind us: it was very, very peaceful as we were...

Villa Rica is a beautifully restored mansion with a spectacular view over the eolian islands, but.... - We found the staff friendly but rather unprofessional (often asleep when we tried to find them, not willing to let us take the breakfast table on the beautiful sunny terrace, loud radio music throughout breakfast, etc.) - In contrast to several good reviews,...

We travelled around Sicily for 12 days and Villa Rica was our last stop. We were very sorry that we could only stay 1 night. If we had discovered this beautiful, quiet, dreamy place sooner, we would have stayed longer. The Villa is beautifully restored and houses a lovely orchard with oranges, lemons and grapes. The swimming pool is all... More

We loved this location, and even planned it again for our next year's holidays. Unfortunately, too many times the staff from villa Rica disappointed us, and now we decided to cancel. The prices changed at the moment of paying, we got shown the door at 11:30 for cleaning the room, and the breakfast quality was really disappointing and moldy !... More

- Casual and friendly staff. - Nice swimming pool: we were often the only guest enjoying it. - Spacious, old, rustique rooms with sufficant comfort. - Restaurant with beutiful view, delicious food and reasonably rapid service. - We appreciated the silence and tranquility of the site. We'll be back!

On arrival we were immediatley greeted by Alfredo, a member of the Natoli family who own and manage this ' agrirurale'. The location is easy to access from the main route, and is situated on a hillside, surrounded by acres of orange groves and wild herbs, with stunning views to the Aeolian Islands. Villa Rica has been lovingly restored from... More

Villa Rica is an amazing place! Nestled in the Sicilian hills with a beautiful view of the Tyrrian Sea and surrounded by orange and lemon trees, the inn was unforgetttable. The service was excellent, our host was warm and hospitable, and the food was absolutely delicious. The inn is also strategically located only a short drive from impressive ruins and... More

Sicily is a big island. If you do not have several weeks, we don't recommend trying to get to all corners of the province. For a focused experience of the Northeastern area, this is the best option. We have traveled throughout Italy and France staying mostly in agriturismi. Villa Rica may be the best one yet. The structure is new... More
