luxury villa with pool for sale Giarre, Italy

There is an independent villa on the hills of Acireale, offering a stunning view of Mount Etna and the coast. This newly built property features fine finishes and an elegant, modern design. It spans across three levels: the ground floor includes a living area and kitchen, the first floor has three bedrooms, and the basement houses a cellar/garage. The garden is meticulously designed, with a saltwater swimming pool, an independent technical room, and a dressing room with a guest bathroom. The perimeter walls are made of local stone, adding to its charm. As you enter through the main gate, you are greeted by a selection of Sicilian centuries-old plants, such as cork and carob, surrounded by corten inserts and a decomposed hedge. At the back of the villa, facing the swimming pool, there is a small citrus grove. The second entrance, providing access to the garage and cellar, features an industrial concrete floor, lava stone perimeter, and ceramic cladding. The day plan is filled with natural light, thanks to the well-placed windows. The oak wood coverings and the helicoidal staircase add character to the space. Additionally, the floor includes a guest bathroom, a pantry with an additional bathroom, and a kitchen area overlooking the pool and citrus grove. Moving upstairs to the sleeping area on the first floor, you will find three bedrooms. The master bedroom includes a private bathroom, walk-in dressing room, open wardrobe, and an exclusive terrace. The other two double bedrooms share a bathroom but both have walk-in wardrobes. The villa was constructed using certified green building methods, featuring underfloor heating, ducted air conditioning, an independent photovoltaic system, a separate electrical system for each floor, a video surveillance system, intercoms with home automation connection, and a sound system. Located approximately 20 minutes from Taormina, 10 minutes from the motorway exit, and 20 minutes from Catania Fontanarossa airport, this villa offers a convenient and desirable location.

This 1000 m² estate in the absolute centre of Aci Reale was bought 20 years ago by a wealthy German and completely restored over eight years of painstaking and elaborate work. The buildings are built around a very beautiful inner courtyard, which also houses a swimming pool, which is currently covered by a wooden platform and a conservatory. The entire property has 30 rooms and 15 bathrooms alone. Everything is more than luxurious, from the bathrooms to the ornate ceilings and marble floors. The origins of this building go back to a Spanish Baroque family who had their headquarters here. Over the years, the property fell into disrepair and was only rediscovered and fully restored by the current owner. There really isn't a corner of this property that isn't in perfect condition. Of course, there is central gas heating and a system for cooling and monitoring.It is not easy to describe this property here. Every room is decorated differently, the owner's love for this property is evident everywhere. You simply have to visit this house yourself and wander through the rooms. There are several kitchens and also five separate flats that can be rented out individually and are not furnished but have been completely renovated. The main house, where the owner lives all year round, has a billiard room, for example, and its own bar, which almost looks like a small pub and is equipped with everything that goes with it. The dining room has room for 20 people, the owner's bedroom is more than luxurious, there is a huge dressing room with an infinite number of cupboards, a huge private bathroom, etc.The property also has several terraces on different levels, which also offer a view over the whole city to the sea. As Catania is easy to reach by plane from many cities, I recommend that anyone interested book a flight and let us and the owner show them round the house.Determining the purchase price is of course difficult, as on the one hand there is the almost lavish interior including all the furniture, for which the owner claims to have spent around € 10 million including the purchase price and renovation work. On the other hand, there is of course a real price per square metre in the centre of Aci Reale, which does not provide for such purchase prices. Nevertheless, the vendor would like to achieve a real price for this property that does not correspond to what he has spent so far, but nevertheless does justice to the value of the property, the renovation work and the furnishings.
