Villa San Leonardo

Tucked in Mascali, Villa San Leonardo SPA sits a short walk from the town center. A quick drive puts you at Marina di Cottone and Spiaggia di Fondachello and about 10 km from Mount Etna — Giardini Naxos and Isola Bella are within easy reach. This family-friendly villa offers sea-and-Etna scenery while keeping beaches and local sights close.

Seven air-conditioned rooms keep things simple and modern with flat-screen TVs, satellite channels, complimentary bottled water and daily housekeeping. Bathrooms include showers, bidets and complimentary toiletries; rollaway beds available on request. The newly expanded wellness center opens onto a sunny rear garden and features cosy relaxation rooms and a thermal mini-whirlpool with chromotherapy and ozone therapy for true downtime.

Spa-forward and low-key luxe: indoor and outdoor pools, health club, steam room, sauna and Turkish bath, plus massages, facials and body treatments. Garden and picnic area invite summer sunbathing, and a tour desk helps book local excursions and transfers. Babysitting is available for families (surcharge).

Complimentary wireless internet across the property keeps you connected. Free self parking onsite and a complimentary area shuttle help with getting around.

Start with a buffet breakfast served daily, featuring typical local Sicilian products; cooked-to-order options may also be available (may incur a fee). Simple, regional flavors set the tone for days exploring the coast and Etna.
