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.

An illustration of a guest book

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!

Ian McMullen October 2024

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!

MK June 2024

A dream came true! An amazing villa with the most beautiful garden, pool, setting and views! Astounding.

Mary Herron June 2023

Gli Ulivi is very large, the swimming pool too. The view is beautiful.

ML, France August 2022

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.

PF, United States of America August 2022

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.
