Lemon House is a fresh addition to Sicily's touristic narrative. Launching in 2017 in the small hilltop town of Savoca, the luxury bed & breakfast boasts an exclusive setting of 4 elegant rooms, clustered around a pool with Sicilian gardens.
Only families with children above the age of 12 are accepted (except on rare occasions), to avoid disturbing the house's heavenly peace.
Lemon House is a delightful cocoon for both couples and families looking to sojourn in the picturesque Sicilian countryside, as well as have effortless access to the Eastern corners of Sicily, with highlights like Taormina, Catania, Mount Etna and surrounding villages.
Savoca is perched at 330 meters above sea level, providing open views of the encircling valleys, mountains and sea. Even Mount Etna can be spotted in the horizon, along with other villages speckling the hills.
The village's principal attraction is Bar Vitelli, where scenes from The Godfather were shot. The bar is extremely charming, adorned by vines on the outside and pictures from the film on the inside, and looks like it hasn't changed much since Michael Corleone visited it in 1972.
