Villa Monterosso,
Sicily

Villa Monterosso sits on the slopes of Mount Etna in Monterosso, a residential hamlet of Viagrande approximately twenty minutes from Catania. The property occupies a former winemaking facility whose original facade has been retained, whilst the interior has been renovated in a contemporary style that contrasts with the building's agricultural past. The villa accommodates eight guests across three floors, with a separate annex available for events and celebrations.

The property lies within the DOC wine region that benefits from Etna's volcanic soils. Mount Etna itself can be reached in thirty minutes for guided excursions across its slopes and craters. Catania, with its baroque architecture and daily fish market, is twenty minutes to the south. Taormina and its Greek theatre sit approximately an hour to the north, whilst Siracusa and the island of Ortigia are an hour's drive in the opposite direction. The nearest beaches at Santa Tecla are twenty-five minutes away. The immediate surroundings are purely residential, with restaurants reachable within five minutes by car and a grocery store approximately 1.5 kilometres from the property. A car is essential for exploring the area.

The interiors are modern and minimalist, arranged around a double-height living room with vaulted frescoed ceiling, contemporary glass fireplace, and floating shelving. Large windows and glass-and-metal elements throughout create connections between indoor and outdoor spaces. A fully equipped kitchen opens onto a terrace suited for morning coffee or informal meals. The style is clean and uncluttered rather than traditional, favouring open space and natural light over ornamental detail.

The grounds extend across 30,000 square metres of manicured garden planted with mature pine trees. A saltwater swimming pool—generously sized and well-maintained—forms the centrepiece of the outdoor area, with a covered structure alongside that serves as an entertainment space for larger gatherings and celebrations. The garden provides ample space for children to play and for guests seeking quiet corners away from the main terrace.
