Description

In one of the most evocative settings of Mount Etna, between 765 and 1000 metres above sea level, stands an exclusive property that encapsulates all the charm of Etna’s history. Immersed in a park of 105 hectares of dense vegetation, this ancient residence, whose construction dates back to the late 19th century, was once a private summer residence and a wine production site for the trade of bulk wine, destined for the market of all Europe. In the 19th century, Mount Etna was the most important wine region in Sicily: vineyards occupied more than half of the land and extended to altitudes above 1000 metres. Today, thanks to a wise conservative restoration, the main building of 1700 sq m is divided into three buildings that accommodate a total of 16 rooms and spaces for hospitality, catering and relaxation, designed to offer a unique experience in contact with nature. Privacy is total, guaranteed by centuries-old trees and convenient accesses, both from the prestigious Via Guardiola and from Quota Mille. The main building is characterised by welcoming rooms with private bathrooms and panoramic views of the greenery, a suggestive palmento restored and used as a restaurant area with large outdoor spaces to be fitted and a historic lava stone cellar, which still houses the ancient and rare oak barrels. The old warehouses in the side wing have been expertly transformed into elegant accommodations, each with a bathroom and independent entrance from the courtyard. The property complex also includes, within the large park, further structures to be recovered, among which stands out a second charming palmento with the caretaker's house and other historic lava stone volumes. The entire property is crossed by a convenient road that from Via Guardiola reaches Quota Mille, comfortably reaching the main building and the other properties located in the large park at a higher altitude. The exclusive location, the proximity to exceptional wine cellars and the possibility of transforming the land, make this property a unique opportunity in the panorama of Hotellerie and the Wine Hospitality sector.
