The Property

Inside: the inside fulfils all the promise of the garden and confirms Villa San Tommaso as a welcome addition to our thinkExquisite range. The house is on two floors. On the ground floor, one enters the huge living area with its views over the Anapo valley and access to the terrace at the top of the garden. The living room has been created from the old oil and wine press, and has extraordinarily high ceilings. It features a raised sitting area with an old stone oil pressing wheel and a dining area with easy access to the kitchen. Above the kitchen is a large sitting area with TV and stereo and a gallery overlooking the living area. On the same level as the sitting area is a double bedroom with adjacent bathroom. Upstairs are two double bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. All decorations, furnishings and fittings are of impeccable taste and quality.

Outside: arrival at the house is either via a courtyard to the rear on the same level as the living area (and so convenient for loading and unloading) or from the bottom of the garden, where there is shaded parking. The inside living area leads directly to the top terrace, which has a large shaded dining table and views over the garden, pool and valley. The garden itself is skilfully designed and impeccably maintained and is one of our favourites in Sicily. Several paths lead down through the terracing, passing shady lawns and viewing points to the large pool, which has its own shaded terrace. Just below the house is the apartment which is occupied by the extremely charming staff.
