The property is located on the slopes of Mount Etna in a beautiful citrus grove covering an area of more than 30 hectares. Here the famous Sicilian Blood Oranges are cultivated and a range of jams and excellent extra virgin olive oil is produced. Here we are in the valley of the Simeto river in the province of Catania, two kilometres from the village of Paternò and only 20 kilometres from the Palermo-Catania motorway which provides easy access to numerous sites of archeological interest and some of the finest beaches on the island. A splendid 20 x 10 metre swimming pool and floodlit tennis court are located on the property.
The whole property is avaliable for rental on an exclusive basis for a maximum of 28+2 people.

The accommodation comprises 2 apartments on the first floor with private bathroom, kitchen, air conditioning, safe and minibar and 3 small, independent villas.

The great advantage of this property is its location only 28 kilometres from Catania airport in a part of the island which contains many places of interest. For golf lovers there's the nearby "Picciolo" golf course at Castiglione di Sicilia (which also has a splendid historic centre), however, the principal attraction in the area is the Etna nature reserve and the opportunity to scale the volcano (guided tours in well-equipped Jeeps are available) to witness the spectacular eruptions. Alternatively immerge yourselves in the refreshing waters of the Alcantara gorges if you still have time after visiting the unmissable sights of Taormina and Caltagirone where you will find the finest Sicilian ceramics.
