The ancient nineteenth-century mansion, finely restored in 2010 in Sicilian style, is located in the territory of Santa Venerina, along the Etna wine road, immersed in a gentle landscape of light terraces, with lemon trees and colorful flowers of countryside. The property consists of a large residence with several buildings, a typical Sicilian garden with a cistern, large terraces and courtyards, fascinating seats among rare plant essences and a lush agricultural land of over 5,500 square meters cultivated with citrus fruits and ancient irrigation canals (saie). The various outdoor spaces also include two covered parking spaces and a large garden of approximately 900 sqm. The restored building adapts the original space destinations to the most comfortable contemporary needs, without compromising the original style. On the ground floor are distributed the large dining room with a lava stone fireplace, spaces for conversation and reading, comfortable service areas, a built-in kitchen, the ancient rustic cellar. An internal staircase leads to the first floor, once the so-called manor house, organized in a spacious living-dining room with fireplace, a kitchen with walls covered with delicious ceramic tiles, four large bedrooms, and various utility rooms. All the interiors are expertly cared for and together with the next outdoor spaces of about 500 sqm, create the ancient atmosphere of the place. From the property there is an enchanting view that embraces the Ionian coast to the south-east and the Etna volcano to the north-west.
The property is located in the municipality of Santa Venerina, along the ancient Etna wine road, a short distance from the Ionian coast and a little further from the protected area of Mount Etna Park. The ancient residence, located halfway between Catania and Taormina, can be reached in about 40 minutes from Catania airport. An ideal location for those who want to reach the coast, such as the small coastal village of Pozzillo in just 10 minutes.
Santa Venerina is ideal for those who want to enjoy the tranquillity of a small village with little entertainment such as the palmento museum, churches and distilleries, while remaining close to large centres such as Acireale and Giarre
It is also easily connected to the A18 motorway, the tourist port of Etna and the Messina-Siracusa railway.
