Situated within the Monaci delle Terre Nere wine resort on the slopes of Mount Etna, Villa Nobile occupies a promontory immersed in an oak wood, 800 metres from the main building. Housed within a late 19th-century cottage, this 242-square-metre villa accommodates guests across 3 bedrooms on 2 floors, with a heated infinity pool, private garden, and views that sweep from the vineyards to the shimmering sea in the distance.
The beaches of eastern Sicily are approximately 20 minutes by car. Catania, with its UNESCO-listed historic centre and vibrant fish market, is 40 minutes away. Guests can wander through the ancient streets of Taormina and its Greek theatre in 45 minutes, or take the complimentary shuttle service that operates twice daily from the resort. Mount Etna itself—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—can be explored by guided hike, horseback, or helicopter departing from the estate's helipad.
The interior blends antique and contemporary furnishings with original artwork throughout. The upper floor panoramic living room features floor-to-ceiling glass windows overlooking the vineyards and sea—a space for reading by day and stargazing by night, with the sensation of being immersed in the sky. On the ground floor, an indoor jacuzzi built within an old cistern offers a atmospheric retreat. Children are welcomed on the estate, with activities including egg collecting, vegetable picking, and learning to cook with the harvest. Dinner with a private chef can be arranged in the villa's garden. As guests of Monaci delle Terre Nere, access to all resort facilities is included: Locanda Nerello for Sicilian slow-food cuisine, the Convivium Bar for drinks at the foot of the volcano, and activities from yoga sessions to wine tastings. A complimentary selection of Etna white and sparkling wines is provided with the villa.
The sun-drenched outdoor terrace and private garden provide space to unwind amid the tranquillity of the Sicilian countryside, with the heated infinity pool commanding views across the estate's vineyards towards the Mediterranean.
