We stayed two weeks in this dreamy house. We were four couples two teenagers and a few babies. It was just the right place for us. The house is very well organised and each room was always animated. The owners were so amazing to all of us. We had many request and they were always at our disposal which has helped us a lot. They found some very good olive oil and biscuits so we could bring some back home for example. They brough some lovely brioche ( traditional breakfast) one morning and of course they would bring us the amazing vegetables from the garden and eggs sometimes. There is a lot to do around which was a great thing. There are some nice beaches half an hour away and a very "simple" one down the road ( you will have to take your car though) where we would go every evening. In the village near the house there is also a nice beach with clear blue water where all the local families goes too which we enjoyed as well.

Spectacular oasis in the midst of amazing beauty, culture, history, and cuisine, with a phenomenal host and guide – Maurizio – who is passionate about the area and all it has to offer. Our family of three generations – including ages 17 through 89 – had high and varied hopes for our gathering in Sicily and they were delightfully exceeded. The villa is a lovely, comfortable and intriguing place that invites and accommodates group gatherings as well as independent wandering and quiet time – all with spectacular views of the extensive gardens, sea, sunsets and the Aeolian Islands. We availed ourselves of so many of the villa’s wonderful features, including the many gathering spaces inside and out, the refreshing pool, the fabulous pizza oven with our pizza master chefs, and the abundant and well-tended garden providing delights of fresh lemons, oranges, kumquats, plums, pears, among other fruits not yet ready and awaiting other guests. The villa also provided a much welcome retreat after a full day of adventure in the surrounding area – and we took great advantage of its great location near the variety of destinations offered. During our two-week stay, every day we were treated to a new adventure – almost always recommended by Maurizio. We enjoyed delicious local dining and wine tasting, visiting fascinating historically significant towns, land marks, museums, and archeologically rich sites, as well as enjoying breathtaking views from huge stone monoliths, diverse island destinations, and small towns and large churches perched against the rugged landscape. Maurizio, as well as his father, and all of the wonderful network of people who are as passionate about this beautiful part of Sicily and providing quality experiences, service, and local products, are incredibly gracious, kind, and generous with their time and assistance with enabling a most memorable trip. They are rightly proud of this wonderful villa and the surrounding areas, and we have come away feeling enriched, renewed, and relaxed with an abundance of memories and hopes to return some day soon. Grazie Mille

The villa itself has plenty of space indoors and outdoors with nice wood panneling, high ceilings and marble staircase. Both indoor and outdoor kitchen with wood fired pizzaoven, huge swimmingpool and extensive grounds with a variety of fruit and olive trees.We were allowed to pick whatever fruit we wished. Great views to the Aeolian islands and many places to relax ao hottub, sauna, tenniscourt and a number of terraces to relax with a book . Great house for a larger group. Very helpful and responsive owner who organised for us fe a pizza making course with a professional pizzamaker. Only drawback is the noise of the traffic of the highway at the back of the grounds but to our surprise we got used to it rather quickly and it was far less disturbing than we initially feared.

We spent a really lovely week relaxing at villa le Zagare. The house was large and immaculate and sunset from the large upstairs balcony was truly amazing. What made it for us were the extensive grounds with fruit trees, places to sit and read, a lovely swimming pool right by the house, hot tub and sauna as well as the tennis court which we used extensively. In addition, the villa is only a few minutes walk from a lovely pizzeria and the local beach. From booking to arrival Maurizio was very helpful and always responded very quickly. Whilst we were there he gave us good suggestions for outings and in addition his father took us around the whole estate helping us to pick fresh fruit, vegetables and even collected fresh eggs for us to eat. The only slight downside was the main road nearby but this did not bother us particularly. We recommend this property.

It's rare that your accommodations become the focal point of your vacation, but with this majestic home on a hill, that was the case. It's a special property with warm and hospitable hosts and we highly recommend it for a family, large group or reunion. We were a group of nine - two families with five kids aged 15 and under. The owner, Maurizio, was extremely attentive and kept in touch during our entire stay. The villa is spacious and wonderful with direct views of the sea, including the Aeolian islands. The Sicilian sunsets were amazing. The grounds are beautiful and include a pool, outdoor dining area, tennis/basketball court, bountiful orchards and gardens. The hosts were very warm and helpful, and allowed us to pick fruits and vegetables and treat the villa as our home. The villa is just outside of town and a short ride from the Autostrada and within an hour’s drive to most major sites, including Taormina and Mt. Etna. We are back home in NYC and dreaming of our Sicilian retreat. We highly recommend it.

You've read about a place like this in books. It exists. You've seen this kind of place in movies. It is here. You've visited this life in your dreams. Come and live it! Our time at Villa Le Zagare was , in one word, SUBLIME. We spent 2 luxurious weeks with family and friends living a slice of the Sicilian lifestyle like locals. Everything you need is within walking distance of the house; a quiet beach, a perfect bakery, a man selling fish off a cart, Antonio and his meat market/grocery. We had big intentions of doing lots of day trips from the villa but we never really wanted to leave! In a short time we felt like locals and truly loved it. The orchards provide their abundance for you to enjoy- fresh squeezed orange juice and lemons for your fish, walks that will inspire you to write, and shady spots to contemplate your good fortune. There is a tented area that is lovely for morning yoga or a party. This is a perfect film set! A big thank you goes out to Maurizio and Aurelio for creating such an enchanting space, and to Edi for taking such good care of it. Until next time, I will just say, "Ciao Bella!"

A lovely villa. Maurizio is a wonderful host and very helpful. The grounds are wonderful. We picked oranges, grapefruit, lemons and mulberries to eat fresh from the trees. Maurizio and his family brought over eggs and granita (frozen dessert). The pool is large, the hot tub has fantastic views of sunset over the islands, there is loads of space. We played tennis - all the equipment was supplied in a chest in the hall. The rooms are large and airy and beautifully furnished. The kitchen is small, but well supplied. We had a meal cooked by the chefs who come to the house. It was absolutely amazing. Great food - they did an entire vegetarian meal, with an additional meat course to suit our vegetarian and it was one of the best meals I have ever tasted.It was very reasonable and they bought dessert and wine too. I would certainly recommend it. Maurizio was very helpful for arranging outings and meals for us. He suggested a fish restaurant in Milazzo, The fish was good, but they really couldn't cope with a vegetarian who didn't eat fish, even though this had been explained to them when the booking was made and again when we arrived. Be careful of this - if you all eat fish, I'm sure it would be great. All in all, a wonderful place. Una posta meravigliosa. Ce sono alberi nel orto con le arance, i pompelmi, i limoni per mangaire. Le camere sono grande, e la piscina e grande anche. C'e un jaccuzzi con una bella vista.

I'm staying here with 4 families. There's a large pool, beautiful grounds, a sport court. It is walking distance from food shops, pizza, grocery, and the beach. The owners have brought over fresh eggs and home made jam. Most bedrooms have air conditioning. The views are amazing.

Mom and I stayed at this piece of paradise (Villa Le Zagare) for a week. The location was fabulous and the property had everything imaginable! The owner, Mauricio, is so hospitable and quite knowledgable about the area. He even assisted us with our trip to Panarea and Stromboli since I do not speak Italian. The beach is in walking distance if you do choose to leave the property, otherwise everything is at the Villa! There is a pool, hot tub, sauna, tennis etc... Did I mention the fruits and vegetables that grow in their never-ending gardens? Delectable. If ever I return to Sicily I would go back to the Villa Le Zagare in a NY minute! Dolce Vita 😎! Lisa

We loved staying at this beautiful villa. It was perfect for our large group of friends who could comfortably enjoy all it offered. I loved being able to pick fresh fruit from the gardens and the sunsets were magnificent. Maurizo was wonderful and on hand to assist us with organising excursions and also helped with any other requests we had. We have so many fond memories and am so pleased we chose this villa. I would definitely recommend.
