Villa for sale in Via Sottotenente Lombardo, San Pietro Clarenza, Sicilia

Description

Situated on the slopes of Etna, this old farmhouse has an unchanged charm thanks to a skilful and accurate renovation that has enhanced the many original details of the 18th-century residence. A fine lava stone arch leads to a courtyard, with a garden of over 2,000 square metres, rich in colours and scents, which is overlooked by the main house and four independent suites. The buildings cover a total area of about 740 square metres, in which the ancient and the modern pleasantly overlap: Terracotta floors, delicate frescoes, and vaulted ceilings alternate with modern, minimalist architectural solutions. The old millstone has been converted into a library and the swimming pool, with lava stone surrounds, enriches the outdoor spaces. One can breathe the feeling of living in the country yet with all the comforts of a city residence and all the necessary services and utilities. The driveway access allows for parking inside the property. Interesting both as a luxury residence and as an investment for tourist-receptive use. It is about 20 minutes from Catania airport, 10 minutes from the motorway exit, 30 minutes from Taormina and 20 minutes from the Etna cable car.
