Composed of a main farmhouse, a smaller house, and an annex, this estate is ideal for groups who want plenty of space to chill out in perfect peace. And, with incredible vistas across orchards and vineyards from the slopes of Mount Etna, along with a range of fabulous amenities, you'll settle into Sicilian life in no time at all. The former manor house is a true sanctuary, with cool tiles and crisp tones, where you can seek some respite on hot days. Along with a stylish living space, there's also a fitness room and a collection of gorgeous bedrooms – and all of which have been restored using environmentally-friendly materials. On the lower floor, you'll find a spa area composed of a Turkish bath, sauna, jacuzzi, and salt room, where all your troubles will evaporate. And, outside, you can splash around in the swimming pool or soak in the hot tub as you drink in the stunning views. Walkers can join one of the trails in Etna Park, winding through the volcanic landscapes – or, in the winter months, you can even ski. Catania, the ancient port city with a golden, sandy beach, is just 15kms away. So, whether you're... feeling active, hungry for Sicilian cuisine, or want to lose yourself in the island's rich history, you're in the right place.
