Villa Sciara

Skilful refurbishment has perfectly blended minimalist contemporary design with the solid, historic character of this splendid Sicilian villa. Set on the slopes of Sicily’s imposing Mount Etna, the villa looks out beyond a huge, beautiful Mediterranean garden to a rural backdrop and the legendary volcano.

Its setting is an oasis of absolute calm. Gaze out over a landscape carpeted with ordered vineyards, countryside and sinuous olive trees, on a view that flits from the dazzling green of the garden to the sky’s light-infused shades of blue. Shades of gold and brown rise from the sun-scorched earth and a profusion of palm trees and other exotic plants frame the vista. Amazing and private infinity saltwater pool  with view on the countryside.

Villa Sciara is spread over three elevations. On the ground floor, with access from the outside, there are two double bedrooms en suite (if a couple prefers to sleep with their children, instead of a separate bedroom, there is a double sofa bed for children in the larger bedroom on the ground floor). The heart of the residence is the first floor: the living room is very bright and elegant in its minimalist style, the modern, luxurious kitchen preserves the Sicilian construction tradition of the wood-burning cooker and the very pretty oven. Along the corridor there is a cosy double bedroom with en-suite bathroom with shower and bathtub, and a twin bedroom, which can be converted into a double, and which also has a bathroom with shower and a WC. Essential and harmonious furnishings, soft colours that blend well with the antique, typically Sicilian floors and the white walls. The loft is refined in its simplicity and elegance: a double bedroom en-suite with a bathroom with shower.

Sciara offers plenty of space to relax and simply enjoy being together. The elegantly furnished terraces look out over a living scented garden and a spectacular landscape.

The villa is located in the Etna National Park, with its rich, fertile soil and vineyards, olive groves, fruit and nut orchards and forests of oak, larch and chestnut trees. For nature lovers, a series of gentle paths that ascend the volcano are just minutes from the villa. Be prepared to be amazed too by other local Sicilian treasures, including Taormina, Catania, Syracuse and the splendid Ionian coast.
