Randazzo, Catania, Sicily, Italy

Built in the 13th century during Norman domination, the Royal Palace was the summer residence of the Aragonese court of Palermo and a strategic location because of its proximity to the two coasts. The property covers an area of about eight hundred square meters on two levels and is divided into five autonomous and independent apartments with garages, an old cellar and workshops on the ground floor. The property has autonomous methane heating and a reserve water tank.
The medieval town of Randazzo has ancient origins and it is thought that the first settlements date back to Greek times. The town is situated in a privileged position from a naturalistic point of view, since it lies at the center of three protected naturalistic areas, the Alcantara River Park, the Nebrodi Park and the Etna Park. Its territory is mainly devoted to wine production, and here many entrepreneurs have embarked on the adventure on the volcanic soil, giving rise to a niche wine production but with unique characteristics of charm and elegance.
Randazzo is 15 km from Mount Etna's central crater, 30 km from the beaches and 50 km from Taormina and Capo d'Orlando, the seaside town on Sicily's Tyrrhenian coast. Catania international airport is 70 km away.
