The villa is only a few kilometers away from Villafranca motorway tollbooth, from which you can reach Messina. We suggest you to rent a car, so you can visit all the splendid locations that the province of Messina has to offer, they are all easily reachable from the villa.
The territory
The villa is located in the Sicilian province of Messina, one of the richest area of the island. Among the most famous touristic attractions here, there are: Taormina, the Eolie island (Alicudi, Filicudi, Lipari, Panarea, Salina, Stromboli and Vulcano), but also Milazzo – recently added to the rankings of "most beautiful Italian villages" -, Tindari with its sanctuary of "black mother Mary", and Marinello where you can find a natural reserve.
Eolie islands: how to reach them
The islands can be reached from Milazzo. The villa is near the A20 motorway that connects Messina to Palermo, and Milazzo is only 20 minutes away by car from there. Once you're in Milazzo you can choose how to reach the Eolie islands, you can rent a private boat with a skipper that will allow you to visit more islands in a single day, this allows you choose the itinerary "on board", the alternative to this is to buy a ticket for the most common tourist vessel: the hydrofoil.
Eolie islands: what to do and what to see
You've reached one of the 7 islands, what now? Since the islands have a volcanic origin (Vulcano and Stromboli are still active!), one of the main attraction are hot springs and mud baths: these are a 100% natural health spa. If you prefer trekking we suggest you to join one of the many visits to the crater of Stromboli or Vulcano, where you'll enjoy the most beautiful view of the whole archipelago, don't forget your camera!
If you are the earth-loving type and want to stay in an uncontaminated environment, Alicudi is the place for you. Since on the island there are no ATM points and no pharmacy, make sure you land on the island with money and whatever you need. Even without those commodities Alicudi is still great and maybe that's her beauty, here you can live the nature and the sea on an island that stopped following the flow of time.
The island of Filicudi offers you crystalline waters, a coast full of little bays and life. Here you can enjoy the most beautiful scuba diving experience: Grotta dei Gamberi (32meters deep) houses the wreck of an ancient Roman boat (dated II centuy b.C.).
A visit to Panarea “the VIP's island”, is another unforgettable experience. Here you can relax on its sandy beaches, Capo Junco, Cala degli Zimmari and Calcara beach are the most famous locations. Panarea is important even on the cultural side, as you can find the ruins of the prehistoric village of Capo Milazzese (XIV century b.C.).
Last but not least, Lipari. The biggest island of the “7 Eolian wonders”. Lipari offers you every kind of attractions: from the beautiful Marina Corta with its realistic nativity scenes, to the fortified city with its castle. The citadel is also an open air museum full of churches and cloisters, you'll love to get lost inside its alleys.
Milazzo: what to do and what to see
Milazzo is filled with history and culture, it was first founded by the Greeks in the VII century b.C. Here you can walk on the Lungomare Garibaldi tasting the “granita” a typical Sicilian sweet breakfast, while also appreciating the baroque architecture of the city center.
On top of the city center you can find the Castle of Frederick II, the building that allowed Milazzo to enter the rankings of the “most beautiful Italian villages”, from here you can enjoy the most amazing view: the sea in front of you and the majestic mount Etna behind.
Other great place to visit here in Milazzo are : Polifemo's cave, the Dome (one of the few baroque building of the XVI century in Sicily), the ruins of “Palazzo dei Giurati”, the church of Madonna del Rosario and the church of S.Francesco di Paola.
Tindari e Marinello
Gently placed on a promontory overlooking the sea, the Sanctuary of Tindari rises up. It is famous for the wooden statue of the “Madonna Nera” (black mother Mary). The legend says that the statue came ashore from a shipwrecked boat sailing from Asia and it quickly became a spiritual point of reference for many Sicilians.
In Tindari there is also a Roman-Greek theater inside the archaeological area, from which you can enjoy the view of the Eolie islands, but also the salty lakes of Marinello, that are part of a natural reserve.
In this area you can also find the Cantine Gaglio, a famous wine-producing site that is the reference point for the Mamertino Doc. The winery manages to blend the bucolic beauty of the vineyard on the sea with a modern cellar where excellent wines are made. The owner will accompany you inside the vineyard, explaining you the history of the place and allowing you to taste the production, while allowing you to taste wine and other local products.
What to eat
One of the reasons why Sicily attracts so many tourists is food. In Sicily you can eat like a king without spending like one. Street food in Messina? Granita, focaccia, pitoni and arancini.
Even though you can eat granita (a typical Sicilian ice-cold dessert) everywhere in Sicily, the granita of Messina is considered the best on the island, it's best in its coffee flavor, but you might want to try strawberry, lemon, and fruits.
Focaccia and Pitoni? Have you ever heard of them? These are two specialties of the Sicilian gastronomy. The first one is very similar to pizza, while the second one is a fried “calzone”; both of them are made with scarola (a kind of salad), chopped tomatoes, anchovies and cheese.
For what concerns typical products, the Messina province offers you the delicious salame Sant'Angelo and the Nebrodi black pork. Don't forget to ask for a glass of Faro wine after your meals and, of course, don't forget to order the dessert! Messina is all about desserts, we suggest you to try the Pignolata, Cannoli, Bianco e Nero (similar to profiteroles) and Pasticcini with cream.
During the afternoon you might want to try a real gelato, you won't regret it.
Recommended among the tours, is a visit to the city of Messina itself. You will be amazed by the beauty of the “city of the strait”. Messina is in fact only 3 kilometers away from the Italian peninsula and, although you might have the impression that you can swim to the other side of the strait, the strong streams that run in the strait makes it almost impossible.
That generated, during the centuries, many legends about the two monsters Scilla e Cariddi that made boat shipwreck in this part of the sea. Maybe we'll tell you the story, while looking at the sunset near Torre Faro, where you can enjoy the most beautiful view, while also relaxing or having a swim in the sea.
Here we are in the land of Faro Doc, a wine that you can taste at the winery “Tenuta Rasocolmo” while walking through the vineyards overlooking the sea. Not far from Torre Faro you can find the lakes of Ganzirri, two small salty lakes, famous for being a farm for sea food. We suggest you to stop here for lunch, to taste the amazing fresh fish.
There are a lot of restaurants that you won't forget easily. After lunch, you should go to the center of Messina, the city was rebuilt almost completely after the 1908 earthquake. Here you can visit the Dome that houses the biggest astronomical clock in Europe (still working!), the Church of Catalani, built before the earthquake, and the Sacrarium of Cristo Re (King Christ) that dominates the city, giving an incredible view on the strait.
All of this and much more awaits you in Sicily, in a villa you can only dream about, with your family or your friends. The villa is the perfect place to relax and have fun, an unforgettable experience, among the perfumes of the zagare (the orange blossoms), the hot Sicilian sun, and the unique sunsets of the Thyrrenian sea.

Summary: We loved everything about our stay at Villa Le Zagare: the gorgeous views, the sunsets, the swimming pool, the tennis court, the luscious garden and the spacious air conditioned rooms. Maurizio, our host, was wonderful and very responsive and made us feel welcome and at home. As for the location, I came to realize after a couple of days that we were incredibly lucky to have found this beautiful villa in a part of Sicily that is less touristy while at the same time very close to a lot of great sites. We loved visiting Milazzo, Messina, Taormina from the Villa and discovering some fairly uncrowded beaches close by. The beach at the end of the road was our to go beach for a morning swim. As for the noise from the road behind the house, while it took a little getting used to at the beginning, we soon got used to it and let the charm of this very special place completely captivate us, embracing the beauty it had to offer. Thank you Maurizio.

Summary: We were a group of friends who meet up every year for holiday. Villa La Zagare satisfied every requirement beautifully: - large shaded clean pool (so refreshing in the hot August sun) - hot tub with incredible views of lush grounds and sunset and sea - large al fresco dining table - full size tennis/basketball court - large living room - aircon in every bedroom - walking distance to quiet beautiful clean beach (no amenities besides a outdoor shower to rinse off - which was more than fine for us!) - walking distance to local bakery/restaurant with delicious granitas/gelatos as well and sweet pastries/cakes and savoury food. we also ate in the restaurant were they had pizzas in the evening and you can takeaway delicious roast chicken and chips for lunch) Maurizio's property is just so unbelievably beautiful where you can walk amongst fruit trees and pick tree ripened mangoes (a really treat for us!!). Limes trees and grape vines were much appreciated. Lots of other fruit trees but not in season in August. The local butchers was fantatic and local shops had everything we needed in a pinch. Short drive to more restaurants and shops and 30mins to Milazzo where we enjoyed the Pool of Venus and the Castello which was well worth a visit. Thank you Maurizio, we all had a wonderful stay in your beautiful home - how blessed you are!

Summary: We have stayed in numerous homes throughout Italy, and as such have experience sourcing and selecting homes for our large family. If you are looking to stay in a relatively affordable large villa in Sicily, we found that there is a surprisingly small selection that fit our criteria. The pool is excellent, the rooms were very large and offered beautiful views. While the grounds could use small maintenance., there was a ton of room to roam. We used the wood fired pizza oven and grill almost daily. There is a phenomenal butcher and grocery store just down the driveway, and also an outstanding pasticceria and restaurant a short stroll away which we visited each morning. The beach is a 90-second drive from the house; the beach is very private and not at all busy, and we found ourselves pitching umbrellas and a cooler there for a few days. While this sort of beach experience is not typically Italian (where private beach clubs prevail), we actually enjoyed the peacefulness of it very much. How was excellent - overall would recommend!

Summary: We booked this beautiful Villa for two weeks in early September 2023. We were two families with a total of 10 adults. The Villa was large enough to accomodate all of us without any issues. The bedrooms are all huge and well appointed. The views, along with the surrounding property were spectacular!! The owners were always available to answer any questions and very knowledgeable with respect to any requests. Thank you to Elio for the granitas and wonderful conversations. Peter the groundskeeper was wonderful, along with all the staff that took care of the property. The property is located less then an hour from Taormina and less then 1/2 hour from Milazzo. As mentioned in other reviews there is a road you can hear close to it, but it’s not intrusive to the enjoyment of the property. We all enjoyed walking to Celona the bakery at the bottom of the hill. Thank you Maurizio!!

Summary: The pictures really accurately reflect the beauty and brilliance of this property. We had a lovely week and Maurizio and Barbara were both helpful and kind. Some parts of the house are a little tired and there’s no aircon in the main lounge but that really doesn’t detract from the overall experience. The house is just a lovely place to stay and we had a wonderful time. Recommend for families; the massive pool is shaded most of the day and that made such a difference. We are missing the villa this week on our return to the uk and would guarantee you’ll have a great week here! Others talk about the motorway but it didn’t disrupt us, less noisy than the mopeds that have ruined other holidays elsewhere and not noticeable most of the day!

Summary: We had a fantastic week at the villa. A family reunion of 14 people (ranging in age from 11-86), we absolutely loved the villa. The view is absolutely amazing, and we loved our sundowners watching the sunset. The bedrooms were great and the air con in each room was a real bonus. Loved that there were bedrooms on the main floor for my elderly parents, and then upstairs were amazingly large bedrooms. Maurizio was amazing and very helpful, helping with food on arrival, restaurant recommendations and also helping with lots of other suggestions. The main road does run behind the property, but we usually had music playing so it wasn’t a huge problem. Finally, the children loved the tennis court/basketball court and also the hot tub. We really did love our week at the villa, and how accessible it was to the towns all around that we loved visiting. Thanks Maurizio :)

Summary: My family and I celebrated my 60th at the villa. Maurizio was incredibly kind, helpful and responsive. The grounds are breath taking with orange, grapefruit, lemons, limes, plantains, and kumquat trees. The tennis court became a nightly event usually followed by relaxation in the hot tub. Maurizio organized a chef to cook us dinner a few nights. What a pleasure to dine on authentic Sicilian food, but also linger around the table and just be! We walked to the beach and the patisserie down the street. Visited Palermo, Taormina, Cefalu, Etna, and Messina. Our weather was not the best so we could not visit the Aeolian Islands - but you should definitely go! Thank you Maurizio!!
