In the heart of Catania's historic centre, along Via Etnea, stands an exclusive building reminiscent of the Florentine Renaissance style. Commissioned in 1875 by the first owner to the Milanese architect Carlo Sada, the building has three façades, among which the main one stands out, overlooking Via Etnea and enriched with statues, terraces and an enchanting garden, and the internal one, characterised by a loggia with large arches.
 
The main façade is distinguished by the use of rustication, which lends solemnity and harmony to the façade. Inside, the main floor has retained its original layout, with frescoes, stuccoes, gilding, tapestries and period furnishings. The building is spread over several levels connected by a spectacular three-flight staircase, richly decorated in neoclassical-Renaissance style and designed to highlight the family's wealth and impress guests. The rooms include numerous bedrooms, storage rooms, a cellar and, on the main floor, four particularly prestigious rooms: the Hall of Mirrors or Ballroom, with decorations in pure gold and glitter, an Art Nouveau ceiling and Rococo motifs depicting the birth and triumph of Venus or Flora; the Hall of Arts; the Music Room; and the Dining Room. All are decorated using the same technique, but with different subjects inspired by classical mythology. The bedroom also features a precious fresco on the ceiling depicting the allegory of sleep. The main floor has already been renovated and is ready to move into, the ground floor only needs some work, while the basement and second floor require more substantial work, offering the possibility of transforming the property into a prestigious accommodation facility.
 
Bright and with both pedestrian and vehicular access, the building has a lift, parking space and garage, and enjoys a strategic location just 15 minutes from Catania airport and about 10 minutes from the beaches and coast.

Renaissance Palace in the Heart of Catania

In the heart of the Sicilian countryside, just minutes from Taormina and nestled between Mount Etna and the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian coast, lies this exclusive estate immersed in the tranquility of an authentic rural landscape. It is conveniently located near the mouth of the Alcantara River and the Fiumefreddo Nature Reserve. A truly unique place, where nature, comfort, and entrepreneurial vision coexist in perfect harmony.

Surrounded by citrus groves, olive trees, and mixed crops, the property spans a generous plot of land with ample space for expansion-ideal for organic and sustainable projects. Currently operating as an agritourism retreat, it features 9 finely furnished rooms, each with a private bathroom, air conditioning, and panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

The estate also boasts a large swimming pool set amidst lush greenery, a private tennis court, extensive relaxation areas, event spaces, and a fully equipped indoor restaurant with a professional kitchen and covered dining area-perfect for breakfast service, traditional dinners, and private receptions. Completing the property are a convenient private parking area and a rare feature in the region: a small private airstrip, also suitable for helicopter landings, adding both prestige and functionality to the entire complex.

This residence represents an extraordinary opportunity for those looking to invest in a boutique hotel, a charming agritourism business, or a luxurious private estate-combining privacy, authentic Sicilian character, and strong commercial potential. Its location is strategic: just 40 minutes from Catania Airport, in an area with a steady year-round tourist flow.

Prestigious property nestled between Mount Etna and the sea

Suspended between the lush greenery of citrus groves and the endless panorama of the Ionian Sea, this property is an authentic expression of the Sicilian countryside. Located in the municipality of Mascali, approximately 40 km from Catania International Airport, it offers a setting of exceptional beauty and complete tranquility. Set within a private estate of nearly 2.8 hectares (6.9 acres) planted with orange and mandarin trees, the residence enjoys extraordinary views stretching from the sparkling sea to the majestic Mount Etna. From every corner of the property, the dialogue between the deep blue of the Ionian Sea and the silhouette of Europe's highest active volcano creates a truly unique landscape, ensuring complete privacy and an exceptional connection with nature. 

Dating back to the first half of the 20th century and originally conceived as a holiday residence, the house preserves the timeless charm of traditional Sicilian country homes while offering an outstanding opportunity for restoration and enhancement. The property requires renovation, providing the opportunity to reinterpret its spaces while preserving its authentic character and transforming it into a residence of remarkable appeal. The house extends over two levels with a total internal area of approximately 200 sq m (2,153 sq ft). The ground floor comprises three rooms and a kitchen, all opening onto the expansive panoramic terrace that surrounds the residence. The upper floor features three bedrooms and a spacious bathroom. The property is further enriched by approximately 140 sq m (1,507 sq ft) of historic rural outbuildings, a valuable testament to the estate's agricultural heritage. 

The possibility of creating a panoramic swimming pool and developing an exclusive hospitality project makes this estate a rare opportunity to create an exceptional retreat in one of Sicily's most captivating settings, where the sea, citrus groves, and Mount Etna come together in perfect harmony.
