Sicily, Catania, Acireale, Italy

There is an independent villa on the hills of Acireale, offering a stunning view of Mount Etna and the coast. This newly built property features fine finishes and an elegant, modern design. It spans across three levels: the ground floor includes a living area and kitchen, the first floor has three bedrooms, and the basement houses a cellar/garage. The garden is meticulously designed, with a saltwater swimming pool, an independent technical room, and a dressing room with a guest bathroom. The perimeter walls are made of local stone, adding to its charm. As you enter through the main gate, you are greeted by a selection of Sicilian centuries-old plants, such as cork and carob, surrounded by corten inserts and a decomposed hedge. At the back of the villa, facing the swimming pool, there is a small citrus grove. The second entrance, providing access to the garage and cellar, features an industrial concrete floor, lava stone perimeter, and ceramic cladding. The day plan is filled with natural light, thanks to the well-placed windows. The oak wood coverings and the helicoidal staircase add character to the space. Additionally, the floor includes a guest bathroom, a pantry with an additional bathroom, and a kitchen area overlooking the pool and citrus grove. Moving upstairs to the sleeping area on the first floor, you will find three bedrooms. The master bedroom includes a private bathroom, walk-in dressing room, open wardrobe, and an exclusive terrace. The other two double bedrooms share a bathroom but both have walk-in wardrobes. The villa was constructed using certified green building methods, featuring underfloor heating, ducted air conditioning, an independent photovoltaic system, a separate electrical system for each floor, a video surveillance system, intercoms with home automation connection, and a sound system. Located approximately 20 minutes from Taormina, 10 minutes from the motorway exit, and 20 minutes from Catania Fontanarossa airport, this villa offers a convenient and desirable location.
