The villa, a fully A/C restored ancient stone house with pool is located halfways between the sea and the village, 2 km from Mirto with a charming view of the Fitalia Valley and of the blue sea where the Aeolian islands seem to float.

Situated between two valleys, the village of Mirto sits on a hill 428 meters on the sea level, 4 km from the sea in front of the Aeolian Islands, 19 km from Capo D'Orlando.
A beautiful peaceful countryside where the extraordinary images of lush vegetation made of hazel and chestnut trees, olive groves and orchards are the relaxing surrounding of this small village with only 1.200 inhabitants that counts 9 beautiful churches and many Chapels in the countryside.

The name Mirto comes from the characteristic myrtle plant, an evergreen bush and an important resource for the economy of the place, beeing the base for the homonymous flavoured liquor and a spice used in local cooking.
