Villa Tasca: a gem in the heart of eastern Sicily
Just a few kilometers from Caltagirone, the historic Villa Tasca stands as a prestigious eighteenth-century residence that combines tradition, comfort, and nature in a unique atmosphere. This noble residence, once owned by prominent families such as the Sturzos, the Ciancio di Buaggiaro, and the Tasca di Varisano, was restored in 2000, preserving the authentic charm of Sicilian architecture of the period intact. Since 2001, Villa Tasca has been recognized as a 5-star Rural Tourism facility, a symbol of hospitality and care, thanks to the attentive and passionate management by the Tasca family, now in its third generation.
Comfort and activities for a stay immersed in nature
The villa has 10 cozy rooms, created from historic spaces such as stables, haylofts, and warehouses, all equipped with modern comforts including air conditioning, private bathroom, telephone, and flat-screen TV. The large park surrounding the property offers an ideal setting for moments of relaxation, with the intense scents and vibrant colors typical of the Mediterranean scrub.
Guests can choose from numerous activities designed for wellness and fun:
- Outdoor swimming pool
- Wellness center with SPA
- Riding school for horseback riding
- Equipped gym
- Ping pong and bocce
- Archery
- Mountain biking and trekking
These opportunities allow for an active holiday, immersed in a landscape reminiscent in colors and gentle hills of Tuscany, thanks to the 500-meter altitude on which the villa is located.
The on-site restaurant offers refined cuisine, highlighting typical Sicilian dishes prepared with local and seasonal ingredients, ensuring a genuine and high-quality gastronomic experience.
Villa Tasca also proves to be a strategic base for discovering some of the most fascinating jewels of eastern Sicily, reachable by short trips: from Etna to Taormina, from Agrigento to Piazza Armerina, offering guests the possibility of a journey through nature, history, and culture, without sacrificing the comfort and hospitality typical of this land.
