Welcome to Gli Ulivi!
The outdoor dining area.
The glorious pool and views of the sea.
The living area is bright and spacious.
Gli Ulivi is just beautiful and perfect for a family group or good friends. What stood out was the layout of the house with so much nice outdoor area and fantastic views. It was our 4th visit to Sicily and this time we explored some beautiful towns inland in the mountainous regions. The house has all you need and more! We booked a cook for dinner at the house and it was exceptional! I can highly recommend this service! They did a splendid feast for us with traditional Sicilian food. All in all we had a brilliant two-week stay at Gli UIlivi and I can highly recommend it. I look forward to booking my next experience with The Thinking Traveller!

About the Area
Gli Ulivi is situated in the lower hills of the north coast, overlooking Capo D'Orlando and its long sandy beach. Just a couple of kilometres east along the coast is the fabulous beach of San Gregorio, a delightful setting with views of the Aeolian Islands.
In the summer months, Capo d'Orlando's tourist port offers a good range of boats to rent and organised boat trips to the Aeolian Islands.
Behind the house, the Nebrodi Mountains rise majestically. They are home to dozens of age-old villages, fantastic scenery, great walking opportunities and some superb restaurants.
Along the coast to the east is the Sanctuary and Greek and Roman remains at Tindari - highly recommended, while to the west lies the lovely Mediaeval town of Cefalu.
Also very easily accomplished are day trips to Mount Etna and Taormina , which is a little over 1 hour's drive away.

Gli Ulivi was a peaceful and amazing place, and a great base from which to get to know Capo D'Orlando. What stood out? The space, the views, everything!

Gli Ulivi is a superb villa that exceeded our expectations. It was nicer than the photos, which is a lovely change from most villa rentals that oversell the villa. What stood out was the stunning setting and the wonderful sized pool. We were delighted to find the paddle court which we hadn’t known about but was a total bonus for us. Thanks for a great stay, and please pass on our thanks to the owners for sharing their lovely villa with us.

Gli Ulivi is a beautiful villa with breathtaking views and a super pool. I think it's the nicest villa we have ever been to. We had an excellent holiday. One week is not enough - I really would love to move there!

Gli Ulivi really blew us away. The photos of the property looked beautiful, but in person... wow... it's on a whole different level of beauty. The house is stunning and charming in its features. The pool and grounds area made it lovely for a big group, offering different gathering places and picture-perfect views of the sea and the Aeolian Islands.

Gli Ulivi is an amazing villa! Beautiful secluded property. It is on a hill with nothing around it.
