Nestled in the olive and citrus grove typical of Italy's largest island whose territory was Greek in Antiquity, this home is not only characteristically Sicilian, but also terribly aristocratic in its taste and style; impeccably laid tables set with rare embroidered linen, silver and porcelain, liveried staff, beautiful floral displays. The house consists of a central building opening onto a large courtyard. Within are a series of elegant, beautifully presented and welcoming reception rooms, with vaulted ceilings and original pavements. The main villa has five double bedroom suites all air-conditioned: three are garden-facing and two have Mount Etna views and fireplaces. A private apartment on two storeys with its own living room and private bedroom suite plus three further double bedrooms are surround the courtyard. Adjoining the central building is the grand and splendid family chapel.
The wonders of Syracuse lie a mere 15 km away and the sea in this corner of Sicily is as dazzling as the Mediterranean can offer. Stupendouly outfitted and impeccably serviced, this villa is intended for connaisseurs only, with views as wide as the valley which sits below Mount Etna. The closest beach is located at Fontane Bianche, with crystal-clear waters and a sandy beach, 20 minutes away.
The property is rented with a full house staff who prepare and serve all meals daily in the dining room or at the swimming pool.
