Villa Zagara | A Camisa Homes & Villas Exclusive
Savoca, Sicily – Where Time Slows, and Life Begins Anew
Nestled within the hills of Savoca, one of Sicily’s most enchanting and cinematic villages, Villa Zagara stands as a rare blend of authentic Sicilian charm and refined contemporary living. With sweeping views that stretch from Mount Etna to the Ionian Sea, this luxury estate redefines the essence of Mediterranean escapism — all under the meticulous curation of Camisa Homes & Villas and the bespoke hospitality of Camisa Essential.
The Setting: Between Sea, Sky and Cinema
Savoca is no ordinary destination — it's a suspended dimension, chosen by Francis Ford Coppola as the backdrop for The Godfather, a village woven with ancient stone, lemon-scented breezes and the lingering shadows of noble history. And it is here, on the sun-kissed eastern coast of Sicily, just minutes from Taormina and the pristine beaches of Santa Teresa di Riva, that Villa Zagara reveals its soul.
Perched on a private hillside with no neighbouring properties in sight, the villa offers seclusion without remoteness. From this vantage point, guests are gifted with some of the most sublime panoramas in the Mediterranean. Every terrace, every window, becomes a living canvas.

The Final Word
Villa Zagara is not merely a place to stay — it’s a Sicilian chapter waiting to be lived, under a sky that turns to gold at dusk and nights perfumed by zagara, the orange blossom that gives the villa its name. This is not a holiday. This is heritage, elegance and experience wrapped in sun and silence.
