Villa Giulia, a residence ready to offer hospitality to those who desire to rediscover tranquillity in a spellbound place of colors, perfumes and landscapes, is situated in Caltagirone and hence offers a good strategic base for tourists to visit the best Sicily offers from both a naturalistic and cultural point of view.

The geographical position of Caltagirone is particularly favourable, since it allows one to easily reach the most beautiful cities in central-oriental Sicily.

Caltagirone, nicknamed “The Queen of the Erei Mountains”, is a city with about 40.000 inhabitants.

Placed in Central Oriental Sicily, Caltagirone is famous for the production of ceramics, an art cultivated since centuries beginning from ancient Grecian times. After a glorious past that saw the city, for over two millennia, privileged fortress for Byzantine, Arabs and Normans that checked the two plain, Catania and Gela, today Caltagirone lives a period of renewed development. Rich in churches, valuable buildings and eighteenth-century villas, for the exceptional value of its monumental patrimony it belongs to the communes of the Val di Noto, World Patrimony of the Humanity.
The motives of interest offered to those people who choose to make a vacation to Caltagirone, away from the routine and the daily stress, are different: the hilly position that favors a pleasant ventilation also in the hottest periods of the year, a landscape marked by the typical Mediterranean vegetation, a great garden for walks in the pure air.
