Located between the Ionian Sea and the slopes of Mount Etna and set within the grounds of an organic pink grapefruit farm, this Sicilian stunner really does have it all. Boasting gorgeous gardens filled with aromatic herbs and an outdoor pool bordered by dry lava-stone walls, this captivating casa is perfect for spending quality time with groups of friends and family. You’ll love whiling away hours lazing on loungers beside the pool before cooling off with a refreshing dip. Spend the afternoon getting your grill on before dining alfresco beneath the pergola. Read or recline on the covered terrace overlooking the pool before trying your hand at making your own homemade pizzas in the lower-ground-floor’s stone oven. If you fancy getting out and about, you’ll find yourselves mere minutes by car from Acireale, a coastal city brimming with Baroque churches, 11th century waterfront castles and thermal spas. Alternatively, tour Etna’s wineries or venture a little further and you’ll reach Taormina in just over half an hour.
