This stunning vacation rental villa, renovated from an ancient masseria, is located in the little village of Viagrande on the slopes of Mount Etna, its position means that you could take a trip up Mount Etna, go down to the sea and even spend an evening in lively Taormina. Benefitting from amazing views to Mt Etna, it is situated in one of Sicily’s most prestigious wine producing areas. The local produce of Etna is also exceptional, with superb local honey, hazelnuts, walnuts, strawberries, salami, mushrooms and pistacchios. Moreover, the villa is in a great location for anyone who wants to explore the cultural highlights of southeast Sicily, including Siracusa, Catania and the Costa dei Ciclopi. Anyone who loves outdoor adventure sports, with the area offering trekking, mountain-biking, pot-holing, river rafting and tubing as well as snorkelling, kitesurfing and water-skiing.
The interiors have been imaginatively designed keeping the original features of the masseria, including stucco and lava-stone walls and a typical external lava-stone staircase which carries you up to the main living area – yet adding adding high tech comforts to the minimalist Mediterranean living space, and a state-of-the-art design throughout. The living room, with high vaulted and frescoed ceilings, is divided from the dining area by a fireplace. The designer kitchen lies between the dining area and a glass-walled terrace, making both inside and outside eating equally effortless. A guest bathroom completes the living area.
A corridor leads to two bedrooms, one large and one small, each with en-suite bathroom. A sculptural flight of steps, leads first to a designer bathroom, and then to a double bedroom, walled with glass (which can be covered by a heavy but luminous screen). Leave the screen open, and you can lie in bed and look straight across to the chic swimming pool. The stairs continue up to a spacious attic bedroom with en-suite bathroom.
