Villa Nerello is a stylish home sleeping 16 guests located on the doorstep of Europe’s most active volcano, Etna.
The country abode, set in 15 acres of extensive land dates back to the 19th century and was previously a working home – the owners lived upstairs in the main house, and wine was produced in the Palmento downstairs, using grapes from the surrounding vineyards. Today, guests are welcome to sample the local wines kept downstairs in what has now become a wine cellar.
Whilst the current owners have retained the original features of this farmhouse, the villa has been lovingly converted into a contemporary home with stylish, design-led interiors. Seven bedrooms are split between the main home and the two annexes – formally used as accommodation for the animals and staff – and now form an idyllic base for families and groups of friends holidaying together on the east coast of Sicily.
The hub of Villa Nerello is the spacious living room in the main house with its modern and comfortable seating and dining area – the perfect spot to relax after a day exploring the local area or basking in the sunshine by the outdoor pool, or to enjoy a home cooked meal prepared in the colourfully-tiled kitchen.
Alternatively, guests can make use of the outdoor kitchen and barbecue and dine al-fresco under the gazebo with extra-ordinary views of Mount Etna. These breath-taking views can also be admired from the infinity pool or relaxing on one of the loungers – it’s hard to miss!
And when it’s time to recharge your batteries, you can retreat to the two ensuite bedrooms in the main villa or retire to the annexes with two and three bedrooms respectively – the larger of the annexes also features a fully-equipped kitchen.
The nearest village is 2.5km away from Villa Nerello and Castiglione di Sicilia is also close by (7km), with shops and restaurants on offer. Etna is a must visit during your stay, along with Taormina (35km), Giardini Naxos (26km), Catania (53km) and, further away, Syracuse (120km).
- Please note the bedrooms are divided between the main villa and two separate annexes - ideal for those travelling in a few family groups.
- One of the sleek bedrooms in the main house has a bath tub in the room itself; perfect for soaking with a good book.
