An illustration of a guest book

We had a lovely, restful time at Camelia. It's a spacious, well-equipped villa with a great view, and it's absolutely brilliantly equipped for small children.

EH June 2026

Our stay at Camelia was calming, attentive and wonderful. What stood out was the view and the space.

Verified guest, May 2026

Camelia is a beautiful villa in beautiful grounds. The chef who cooked for us was exceptional and so sweet.

Verified guest, October 2025

Unique is not a term that invites comparison: Camelia was like nothing I had ever seen before. It was gorgeous It was scenic. The interior was definitely one of a kind. It exceeded our expectations even after we saw the photos. Thank you. We were very comfortable. It was difficult to leave and explore the local wineries, Mount Etna, Syracuse, etc. All in all, a great vacation villa!

Verified guest, October 2025

What stood out about Camelia was the building itself, the view and the staff.

GM September 2025

Camelia was perfect for us and the staff were responsive to our needs. What stood out were the the beautiful orchards; lots of outdoor space; very comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms; air conditioning and WiFi. Would we return? Yes, it's a beautiful villa, and we loved the modern sensibility.
