4 bedrooms villa, 410 m²

Aci Castello, Catania (province)

In Aci Castello, in the heart of the Sicilian Ionian coast and just ten kilometres from the centre of Catania, stands a property of rare beauty, designed for those seeking an exclusive asset capable of combining prestige, privacy and vision. This extraordinary contemporary villa is the result of the expert restoration of an ancient Sicilian farmhouse, reinterpreted through an architectural project that blends historical memory, modern design and excellent living quality. An iconic residence immersed in a scene of absolute charm, ideal both as a private home of the highest profile and for the development of a luxury hospitality project: boutique hotel, exclusive relais, private retreat, location for private events or prestigious representative residence. A unique property, capable of combining beauty, profitability and asset value in one of the most fascinating settings in the Mediterranean. The villa stands on a private plot of approximately 9,000 sq m and extends over approximately 500 sq m of internal space distributed over three levels – a ground floor and two semi-basements – plus over 220 sq m of panoramic terraces overlooking the Ionian Sea. The hillside and dominant position offers a stunning view: on one side the coastline of Aci Trezza, the Faraglioni (Cyclops Rocks) and the Gulf of Catania; on the other, the imposing silhouette of Mount Etna. The outdoor spaces have been conceived as a refined private Mediterranean garden, perfectly integrated into the landscape. Dry stone walls, centuries-old olive trees, palms, carob trees, prickly pears, bougainvillea, oleanders and citrus trees create an elegant and lush ecosystem, where nature, architecture and silence coexist in perfect balance. In this context, the magnificent panoramic swimming pool is set, a scenic private oasis designed for the most exclusive relaxation and conviviality. The interiors reflect the same design philosophy: a balance between aesthetics, functionality and comfort. As soon as you cross the threshold, the villa welcomes you with a spectacular living area characterised by a height of over five metres and large windows that create a visual continuity between the interior and exterior. The large living room, bright and scenic, represents the heart of the house. An elegant hallway leads to the modern kitchen with an island, sophisticated and functional, conceived as the convivial hub of the residence. The master suite, on the other hand, offers an intimate and private atmosphere, with en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. On the basement level, the sleeping area dedicated to hospitality develops: two guest bedrooms with private bathroom, a study room ideal as a home office and a mini apartment completely independent with kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom and laundry. A solution that makes the property perfect even for high-level hospitality or dedicated staff. The villa is equipped with state-of-the-art systems and technologies: photovoltaic system, video surveillance, central vacuum cleaner, underfloor heating and fan coil cooling system guarantee comfort, efficiency and safety throughout the year. What makes this residence even more unique are the details that preserve its authentic soul: in the patio, an elegant circular hole frames a palm tree creating a suggestive dialogue between architecture and nature, while an ancient well skillfully recovered tells the memory of the place and returns to the property a deep and unrepeatable identity. This is not simply a luxury villa, but an iconic property destined for those who know how to recognise the privilege of excellence: a residence where luxury meets the landscape and every investment becomes an asset.
