The House
Giardino Arancio is a traditional Sicilian main countryhouse of the late 19th century, built of lava stone and located at the heart of a working farm, producing organic citrus fruits. Surrounded by 1.5 hectares of mandarins, clementines and kumquats, the house is 368 square meters on 2 levels, allowing us to offer 6 wide bedrooms as well as numerous comfortable common spaces.
The dining room
The wide spectacular dining room, overhung by the majestic blue ceiling, welcomes you every morning from 8.30 to 10.30, for breakfast. The buffet breakfast includes fresh fruit juices, pastries, homemade jams, local cheeses, yoghourts, delicatessen, fresh bread, local biscuits, cakes… and much more!
The dining room is also on some occasion used… for dinner !If we previously booked it together, you’ll enjoy familial and homemade food in our “home restaurant”.
The library/TV room
You’ll enjoy watching tv in the restroom, as well as the numerous amenities we let there for you :guidebooks, table games, dvd…we want that room to be a pleasant warm place for your evenings at Giardino Arancio.
Our swimming pool
Located backwards of the house, the swimming is at the heart of Giardino Arancio’s citrus trees, a peaceful place where “relax” is the magic word.
You’ll enjoy an incredible view on the Etna… of which one won’t ever get bored.
The lounge bar
With its direct access to the garden, the lounge bar is the meeting point of every evening to enjoy some fresh drinks, after a busy day of discovering, to enjoy colors and perfumes of the sunset in the garden or on the terraces.
The kitchen
Enjoying a direct access to the garden, the brand new well fitted kitchen is for your use only. A big fridge, a grill/microwave oven, cooking plates… will allow you to cook the local products you’ll find around if you prefer to have dinner here at home.
The gardens

You’ll enjoy your breakfast at the shadow of the kumquats, surrounded by lots of colors and perfumes while listening birdsong.
