Castiglione di Sicilia, Catania, Sicily, Italy

Situated in a quiet and sunny area, downhill from the small village of Castiglione di Sicilia and a few steps from the Alcantara river, this delightful house, with a millstone made of lava stone, is the ideal place to enjoy moments of total relaxation.
The property is surrounded by mostly flat land of approximately 7,785 square metres, entirely fenced and with excellent southern exposure, with olive trees, fruit trees and free space for planting new crops.
The property consists of a main dwelling, which is the result of the restoration of an old rural house made of lava stone, and a millstone, also made of stone and currently used as a storage room, but which preserves intact its architectural features, such as the tanks and the wine press. The two units embrace a beautiful outdoor area with spectacular views of Etna and the vineyards, a corner with barbecue and wood-burning oven, equipped for outdoor dining.
The main house is on one level with an attic floor and has several entrances. It consists of a cosy living area with a built-in kitchen, a double bedroom, a second room and a bathroom. The numerous openings make the house very sunny and allow to enjoy the outdoor spaces in a dynamic way.
The living room leads to the large terrace overlooking Mount Etna, the perfect place for conviviality in the shade of the pergola that protects from the summer heat. A second entrance leads to a small outdoor area, more reserved and protected by the surrounding walls.
The attic floor, currently unused, could be converted into a second living space or adapted.
The property is equipped with all comforts, water and light, and given the exclusivity of the location, it is the ideal solution for conversion into a small receptive structure or private place in which to spend one's holidays in contact with nature.
The property is completed by a rural building of approximately 190 sqm.
