Villa Vita Bella is located in the center of San Gregorio, on the outskirts of the historical city of Catania on the western Sicilian coast.
The 1800’s estate was originally designed as a summer residence to prince Borghese. It has been named by the locals "Piano Paradiso" (Paradise Plain) to reflect the oasis of peace and serenity to be discovered behind the majestic and comforting walls that encircle the property.
Across the secular front gate, guests will find the impeccable private gardens and grand lawn, where shade-kissed benches offer the perfect setting for tranquil and restful afternoons.
The estate also comprises three main buildings that serve as living quarters and a 14th century church, a structure classified as a national monument. Because of its beauty and historical significance, at the request of San Gregorio’s mayor, every Easter Monday the church is open to the public. On that day guests can submerge themselves in century old traditions and celebrations that include the famous "Giostra del Saraceno".
Vita Bella guests can select between two alternative accommodations. Facing the gardens, guests can find an independent two-bedroom unit with a large living room and a fully functioning kitchen. In this independent unit our guests can enjoy the complete privacy as an independent house.

The bathrooms are all tiled in stone. The furniture has been carefully chosen to create a classic and elegant atmosphere.
The restaurant is found on the top floor and is made up of two connecting halls, with two independent entrances with windows above the doors.
