Set in a dense forest on the foothills of the far-famed Mount Etna, this farmhouse-inspired home mixes all the exterior charms of an Italian countryside homestead with modern, stylish interiors. Each of its three bedrooms offers its own ensuite bathroom, and the cosy living areas make it a tranquil place to rest your weary feet. Outside, a wrap-around patio ensures plenty of space for alfresco dining or bathing in the sun, with the thicket of trees never too far away.
