Description

Enjoy the tranquillity and relaxation in this historic and elegantly restored former winery on a hilltop with panoramic views.

Italy's largest island, Sicily, offers exceptional beaches, charming villages and towns, and an abundance of ancient ruins and archaeological sites. Historically, Sicily has been at the crossroads of cultures, landscapes and cuisine. Wander through the old town and discover the local shops or restaurants to enjoy a nice lunch while discovering this spectacular region.

A must-visit destination perfect for families, friends or as a romantic escape.
This beautiful villa sits on 24 acres of natural private grounds, which are entirely enclosed—ideally located for discovering the historical treasures of the UNESCO-protected baroque towns in South-East Sicily.

This island has long been a gem of Mediterranean culture. Today, it is a fascinating combination of history, gastronomy and ancient Greek temples, Arab ceramics, Norman churches and Baroque palazzos. Nature lovers are in luck as it also offers natural wonders, from the craters of Mount Etna to the still relatively undiscovered southern coast's beaches.

A fashionable and elegant design combines old patterns with modern style in a warm and soft ambience. The perfect blend of champagne and earth colours and wooden decor creates a sense of character and luxury mixed with a rustic atmosphere.

The heart of the house is a double-height galleried sitting room with a vast linen sectional sofa, large TV and Bose music player overlooking the pool and the terrace. Each room features a unique design and style, delighting guests with comfort and a quiet place to relax.

The main bedroom, with a full-length balcony, overlooks the valley with a generously sized bathroom, a wet room shower, twin basins, and an extra large bathtub.

The Cask room has a double bed crafted from the old barrels from the winery. This room also has a single/day bed, ensuite shower, and private terrace.

"Salotto del vino" is a cosy room with a comfortable sofa bed and an ensuite shower and terrace. It doubles as a media room or office

In the separate guest annex, the Guest Master bedroom features a double bed, an ensuite shower room, a whirlpool tub, and large shaded terraces affording spectacular views over the main house and valley.

The Guest family bedroom is prepared with a double or twin bed and ensuite shower room. The room is stylish and faces over the pine forest offering fantastic views.

The Guest sunrise bedroom is furnished with a double bed with an ensuite shower room and large shaded terraces affording s stunning sunrise views.

The outdoor areas are stunning enclosed grounds which are completely private and not overlooked. Featuring a fantastic swimming pool and lounge areas, they are perfect for enjoying on sunny days with a nice glass of wine.
The south terrace is partially covered with a bougainvillaea-covered pergola, perfect for enjoying the views and dining al fresco protected from the sun. Relax on the ample top-grade outdoor furniture around the pool and the main decks.

wonderful VILLA!

Both the design and the grounds of the Villa were wonderful. The hosts kind and helpful. This is the first time we have a thirdhome that has more than basic ingredients and equipment available for cooking, we could tell that they are foodies. All was really useful. I wish we could have spent more time. A real 5 stars stay. thank you Lynda and Gipi for making this possible for us. ”
