This fascinating property spreads over an area of approximately 10,200 square meters in a unique south-facing position surrounded by the sea on three sides and almost completely overlooking the enchanting island of Ortigia; it consists of four buildings that stand on a large flat green area with a private dock and direct access to the sea. The main property, of about 100 square meters originally the caretaker's house, is located in the entrance area followed inside by two imposing buildings with a total area of 1,650 square meters and has completed a small villa of about 100 square meters with direct access to a picturesque beach surrounded by total privacy, and to the private dock. The splendid context makes this property unique, which will become even more beautiful once it is restored. The property is an ideal investment for the realization of an exclusive and prestigious resort which could have about thirty rooms, restaurants, bar, exclusive beach access and dock for private boats as a service to the customer. The splendid "Sarausa" so pronounced in Sicilian, recognized as a World Heritage Site by Unesco, is today considered one of the most important artistic capitals in Europe, so powerful in the past that it can compete with Athens. As a matter of facts, Cicerone defined the Sicilian city as "the most beautiful of all". Scenic place and agorà still hosts, in a breathtaking scenery, an exclusive series of classical representations that bring it back to its ancient function.

Nestled in the countryside around Acireale, between Mount Etna and the Ionian coast, this villa with a swimming pool was converted from an old 19th-century farmhouse, with a load-bearing structure of lava stone, which was restored and extended in the 1990s. The property is spread over two floors, featuring spacious rooms, high ceilings and lovely views of the surrounding greenery. On the ground floor, the spacious kitchen with dining area opens out onto the large covered terrace, which serves as a second dining area set amidst the garden. On the same level are a double bedroom, a bathroom, a utility room and a storage room. On the first floor, the light-filled living area with parquet flooring and the adjoining study open out onto the large wraparound terrace, one of the villa's most picturesque spots: from here, the view takes in the sea, Mount Etna and Taormina and, on the clearest days, stretches as far as the Calabrian coast. The sleeping area comprises three further bedrooms - two double bedrooms, one with a walk-in wardrobe, and one single bedroom - as well as two bathrooms. The approximately 6,000 square metres of land fully embody the character of the Etna region, where the traces of the ancient lava flow, still visible today, give way to olive groves, fruit trees and vineyards. The garden features a large swimming pool and areas dedicated to outdoor living. The property also produces around 200 bottles of wine a year and approximately 50 litres of extra virgin olive oil, as well as featuring a temperature-controlled wine cellar with a capacity of around 1,000 bottles. The villa is complemented by a spacious garage, covered parking spaces and an outdoor bathroom serving the swimming pool. Already successfully established in the short-let market and with a well-established and thriving accommodation business, the property is situated approximately 20 km from Catania ‘Fontanarossa' International Airport, approximately 2 km from Santa Tecla beach, approximately 75 km from Syracuse and 100 km from Noto.
