Located in the heart of Sicily, on the Iblei Mountains, a few miles away from the Unesco Heritage Village, Palazzolo Acreide , Villa Ananda is a traditional Mediterranean house, nested on a top of a gorge with terraces covered by olive tree, fruits tree and wild Sicilian flowers and plants. Although few minutes drive from the main village , as soon you will step in, you will be far away with your mind from the daily routine and feeling at home in Sicily with us!

Your Salotto is the Nature!

With two hectares of land around you is almost like to have a private park all for you. There are 63 centennial olive trees, carrube trees several fruits tree, typical Mediterranean plants and wild herbs and flowers.

The entire villa has been rebuilt on the foundations of a 1856 residence, used by monks of the diocesi of Noto, and still now it's visible a water cisterna of over 10,000 lt ; through a rocky path you can reach the bottom of the valley and from the villa you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the Iblei mountains and the valley.

We choose the name “Ananda” for our house because of the meaning of the word in Sanskrit, that is Bliss and Happiness, and that is the feeling we have living here and we want to share with all our guests.

We moved to Sicily , after more than 7 years in Cambodia, in April 2019 and we are working hard all the time to improve this beautiful house and make our guest feeling like at home. If you also are a cats lover, we have 5 sweet cats ( 3 from Cambodia and 2 Sicilian) and a nice and quiet dog, all looking for new friends and cuddles. The Villa is close enough to the main village, only 5 minutes drive, but far enough to feel that you are far away of everything!

Ananda, where you will finally Slow down with the Nature around you !
