Description

A new-Mediterranean architectural estate outside Taormina, a 20-minute Jeep ride from the world’s most active stratovolcano, Etna volcano, leading down to the sandy beaches of Giardini Naxos. Merging with its surrounding vibrant nature and vineyards, this estate makes for an idyllic Italian escape to remember.

A high-end Sicilian destination, located in a sustainable 16 hectares wine-estate, this villa offers the latest essence of contemporary design and local authenticity. Located in one of the closest villages to the Etna Volcano and only thirty minutes from the iconic Taormina, this is a place where guests feel at home with a contemporary sense of comfort.

The home design, approached with research in the historical context, is a sensory journey among lava artefacts, a vineyard and its 17th-century palm grove. Enjoy the refined elegance and sense of proportion between delicate lines and different layers of materials.
