Trecastagni, Catania, Sicily, Italy

Built in 2018, this property offers all the advantages of a home built in green building.
Thermal comfort, thanks to the A4 energy class (which represents the maximum thermal insulation and therefore energy saving) and the radiant underfloor heating system; acoustic comfort, thanks to the materials used and the special insulation; maximum anti-seismic safety, thanks to the XLAM solid wood cross-layer construction system.
The plot of approximately 2000 m² is fairly flat and, given its location, the garden and swimming pool look out over Mount Etna in all its majesty. The external design of the house is very linear, with a play of staggered volumes, emphasized by the use of two colors for the plaster, which inside mark the two living and sleeping areas.
The villa enjoys a continuity between indoors and outdoors, both because of the large window that connects the living area to the pool terrace, and because of the large wooden canopies that create two very live-able and comfortable outdoor areas: an outdoor lounge in front of the living area and an outdoor dining area adjacent to the kitchen.
The entrance opens onto the double-height living area with a fireplace and a ceiling with exposed wooden beams. In the same room, a concealed sliding door connects the open space to the kitchen with a central island. In the sleeping area we find a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, a second bedroom and a bathroom.
Descrizione posizione The property is located north of Trecastagni, about 900 meters from the town center, in an area characterized by the exclusive presence of villas and therefore with a low population density. The area is very quiet and easy to park. The wide road network allows easy access to the nearby towns of Pedara and Viagrande, the wooded areas of Tarderia, the city of Catania and its airport which is about 30 kilometers away, while going up towards the volcano, the station of Rifugio Sapienza is 17 kilometres away.
