La Torretta
Zafferana Etnea - Sicily
An exclusive, refined property set on the slopes of Mount Etna, near Zafferana Etna. La Torretta is an old rural farmhouse which has recently been restored and converted into a fabulous private residence. Framed by Mount Etna’s unique natural environment with its vineyards, orchards and low stone walls, the property boasts an amazing saltwater pool with panoramic views, large and well-equipped terraces, a lovely garden with aromatic plants and a beautiful spa area with Jacuzzi, Turkish bath, sauna, multi-sensory shower and salt grotto. Its cosy interiors, furnished with great care and attention to detail, occupy what were once the manor house, the winery, the stable and the storage room. Renovated using eco-friendly materials, they still retain their character and original architectural features. Combining modern features with traditional elements, these stylish interiors include, on the ground floor of the manor house, a living area with lounge, dining room, kitchen and guest bathroom. On the first floor are three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and on the lower floor, in the former wine press room, is the wellness area. The two annexes house respectively a suite with double bed in the loft (Casetta) and a double bedroom (Dependance), both with en-suite bathrooms. The outdoor area also includes a kitchen with dining area and a small football pitch. The villa is equipped with gym room, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, washing machine, dishwasher, heating and fireplace. From the villa can be easily reached the other villages and natural beauties of the Etna Park and the most popular towns on the Ionian coast, such as Taormina, Catania and Syracuse.

Such a fantastic villa, in love with the beautiful tiles! Amazing to have Mount Etna on your doorstep. We all had such a great week.

Charming location with the sea to our right, and Etna to our left. Imaginative use of space, particularly the conversion of the wine press into a health spa. Two football fanatics particularly enjoyed the pitch which was an added bonus and the kids loved searching for the lost balls in the brambles behind. Highlights were definitely Taormina and Gianluca who gave us some splendid recommendations - all of them brilliant for either location or taste! He was also incredibly resourceful in finding us a driver, places to visit, and great helpfulness. We had a splendid week, time to recharge and rest in this wonderful villa. Thanks

La villa nous a été agréable pendant nos deux semaines de vacances. La vue et le calme de l'entroit nous invite à la relaxation et au lâcher-prise. Gianluca est toujours de trés trés trés bon conseil et d'une bonne humeur sans faille. Merci à vous Gianluca d'avoir rendu notre séjour plus qu'agréable.

Gianluca was amazing, he made our visit in Sicily a memory of a lifetime. We travelled to Noto, Taormina, Linguaglossa and Castiglione and Giardini Naxos for a boat trip. However just relaxing by the pool was enough to remove the cold Melbourne weather from our bones.

We celebrated my 40th birthday with all our family on this beautiful island! Thank you Peppe for teaching our son Enzo, how to pick the cherries! They were delicious. Gianluca was the best host. We look forward to keeping in touch with our new Sicilian friends. Thank you for an amazing time.

We stayed in late October 2021 as a party of 10 - two families with adult children. The charming hospitality of the house, kitchen, living and dining, fireplace and Gianluca let us forget the terrible weather. We were back again! After the medicane bad weather the landlord invited us to come back again in May and see the real Sicily. Thank you for hosting us in this great villa with gorgeous views.
