Villa Rica is surrounded by century old olive trees, lemon groves, orchards and mediterranean scrub and is only 7 kilometres from the sea. It is the ideal spot for a relaxing outdoor Sicilian holiday away from the hum drum of city life. All are welcome - families, groups and lone travellers. We have comfortable self catering apartments available for weekly rental and for shorter stays, we offer BandB, half or full board in hotel style accomodations. The farm is on the North East coast of Sicily, near the town of Patti which lies between Milazzo and Cefalu. It nestles among low rolling hills and offers a stupendous view over the valley below towards the Aeolian Islands and the Tyrrhrenian Sea. It is a unique location. Not only is it the ideal place for a peaceful and relaxing stay but it is also an excellent starting point for visiting many of Sicily's most beautiful sites. The Aeolian Islands, Taormina, Cefalu, Mount Etna and the Heritage Park of the Nebrodis can each be visited on a one day excursion. The rooms with a splendid view of the Tirrenian sea and Eolian Island are spacious and comfortable with outdoor balconies, sat tv, air conditioning and heating. Two bedrooms are available for disabled guests. The restaurant is open to both guests and public. It has been renovated from the original oil and wine mill and the factor's house. The building has kept its original features of typical Sicilian rural architecture (beamed roofs, local stones, floors tiled with cotto siciliano).The food is typical of the region and fresh organic fruit and vegetables from the farm itself are used as ingredients.
