The Dream Villa is a luxurious residence nestled among the woods of the Mediterranean scrub in the exclusive Vulcanello area, surrounded by prestigious villas, at an altitude of 70 meters above sea level.
Built in the early 1970s by the famous television host Mike Bongiorno, who owned it for many years, the villa was a gathering place for celebrities such as Walter Chiari, Miranda Martino, and other notable figures from the entertainment world of that golden era, making it the center of glamorous social events.
Due to its spaciousness, the villa is ideal for hosting multiple families or a group of friends. It is just a 10-minute walk from the famous Black Sand Beach.
It is the perfect choice if you dream of a relaxing vacation. Leave your car in the villa's private parking, enjoy the sun on the Black Sand Beach, read your favorite magazines just a few steps from the swimming pool, and free your mind with a walk through the villa’s garden and park, surrounded by tropical plants and stunning succulents.
Villa Features
The villa consists of 8 bedrooms, including 5 suites with en-suite bathrooms and showers, and two bedrooms with a shared bathroom. It also includes a fully equipped kitchen, a large living room with a fireplace, an entrance hall, a dining area, and a spacious covered patio that runs along the entire villa, providing access to the individual suites, all of which are independent.
The villa can accommodate up to 17 people.
In the large fenced park, there are 3 additional guesthouses (dependances), each with a private bathroom and shower, capable of accommodating 12 more people.
With these guesthouses, the total capacity of the estate reaches 29 guests.
The interiors are meticulously curated and furnished with traditional pieces, many of which belonged to the original owner. Even today, the villa retains a timeless charm that pervades its atmosphere.
Designed in the classic Aeolian architectural style, the villa is all on one level. The floors are hand-decorated Sicilian ceramic tiles from Santo Stefano di Camastra, carefully restored to match the original designs and colors.
The perimeter wall is adorned with 20 ceramic vases from Caltagirone, depicting Moorish Heads crafted by the renowned 1960s/70s ceramist Alessi (some have unfortunately suffered damage over time).
