This home is pure indulgence. Experience rural delights and luxurious wellness features at this villa, nestled between Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea. This restored and converted casale was once a manor house and winery and features the charming traditional features of its history as well as modernist elements of its present.
Surrounded by an enchanting garden of olive trees and aromatic plants, this impressive residence has been thoughtfully renovated to respect its original character, with exposed stone walls and traditional architectural features. Italian modernism takes centre stage in the home’s design-focused furnishings (you’ll spot Verner Panton and Joe Colombo here), whilst authentic rural charm radiates the character of the space. The hosting spaces are considerately designed for intimate moments and socialisation, whilst the bedrooms and lofted rooms, provide elements of seclusion for when guests seek some downtime with a book.
Here, it’s effortless to pass time stretching out on the loungers amongst modern artworks or floating amongst the glistening ripples of your pool. If you’re looking to get a workout in, work up a sweat in the caved fitness area, or kick a ball around on the garden’s small football pitch. Come sunset, you’ll want to be nestled on your terrace for relaxed aperitivos accompanied by your loved ones and panoramic sea views. As the evening winds down, head to your wellness area where you’ll be treated to a Turkish bath, jacuzzi, sauna and multi-sensory shower, all housed within a salt grotto – bliss can’t quite cover it.
Your home is located in a strategic area for cultural exploration – drive thirty-three minutes for an awe-inspiring day up Mount Etna, where you’ll experience volcanic landscapes and lava flow caves. Or spend the day at Spiaggia di Praiola, a twenty-minute drive away, where you can sprawl out on the volcanic sands and snorkel the crystalline waters.
