Aci Castello, Catania, Sicily, Italy

This elegant two-level villa, designed in the 1960s by a renowned architect from Catania, is a rare example of signature architecture with private access to the sea. The extensive outdoor space, partly green and partly paved, includes a large patio that allows the residence to be enjoyed in every season, ensuring absolute tranquility and privacy. The true highlight is the panoramic terrace overlooking the small gulf below: a unique view that encompasses Lachea Island with its sea stacks up to the Capo Mulini lighthouse, creating a suggestive and unforgettable atmosphere.
While maintaining the charm and original style of the era, the villa features a modern and geometric architectural volume, designed with great attention to detail. The structural components become an integral part of the aesthetic language, giving character and personality to the property.
The ground floor is currently divided into two independent units, both configured as guesthouses: each has two bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, and a kitchen. This feature offers great versatility of use, making it ideal for hosting family or friends. The main body of the house is located on the first floor and hosts a large apartment composed of four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a large kitchen, and a bright living room characterized by large windows that frame the marine landscape, creating a continuous dialogue between the interior and exterior. The interiors of the main body are bright and airy, the large convivial spaces, high ceilings, and glass walls amplify the sense of openness to the surrounding landscape. Completing this exclusive property is a truly rare element: the private platform on the sea, perfect for relaxing moments in absolute privacy.
This villa represents the ideal choice for those who desire a unique residence, with absolute privacy yet close to the main services and amenities of the area.
The property is located about five kilometers from Acireale, between Acitrezza, the land of the Malavoglia, and the district of Capo Mulini. This fishing village, which marks the northern side of the Gulf of Catania, was the "old" Acireale until the Middle Ages, with its natural port and its restaurants. Historically interesting is the Torre Sant'Anna, now a lighthouse, which dates back to the late 16th century.
Catania Fontanarossa Airport is 20 minutes away and can also be reached by train, directly from the Acireale train station, which is a few minutes from the property. The area is surrounded by exclusive villas, very few have a private sea view, and almost unique are those with a private walkway.
