Grammichele, Catania, Sicily, Italy

Traditional Sicilian Mansion with Pool and Land
Dating back to the late 19th century, this large estate draws on the atmosphere of the 'Gattopardo' era and the typical charm of the Sicilian countryside. Recently renovated with fine taste, the property is set over two levels.
Grand reception rooms and a wonderful, ceramic-tiled kitchen can be found on the main floor, and five modern en suite bedrooms on the lower floor. A lush lawn to the front of the house and a panoramic terrace to the rear set the scene for the outdoors, which feature a large pool that enjoys the shade of the surrounding trees for a sensation of coolness and relaxation. The land is cultivated with olive and citrus groves, with a large portion also covered by a pristine forest, ideal for indulging in long walks immersed in the colour hues and aromas of this still untouched region of Sicily.
The property is situated between Caltagirone and Grammichele, around 60 km far from the city of Catania. Located in a strategic position near the historic-archaeological sites of Piazza Armerina, the ceramic centre of Caltagirone and the beautiful Hyblaean baroque cities of Ragusa, Modica and Palazzolo Acreide, as well as all the wonderful medieval villages of the hinterland such as Ferla and Buccheri. The Catania airport can be reached in 50 minutes by car and Comiso airport in 40 minutes.
