About this property

Casa de Arena with pool, Aidone-Piazza Armerina

Ancient 17th century residence with swimming pool and immersed in the characteristic Sicilian countryside, overlooking the Etna volcano. The outdoor area is furnished with all the comforts to enjoy the breathtaking landscape in complete relaxation and surrounded by greenery. The house, characterized by elegant stuccoes and majestic vaults, is furnished with fine furniture; it has 2 doubles, 2 singles, 2 bathrooms, large garden. Casa de Arena is the ideal place for those who love nature.

Casa de Arena is an ancient and elegant family home, immersed in the fascinating landscape of the Sicilian countryside, a few steps from the archaeological park of Morgantina.
The house is made of stone and inside is furnished in the characteristic Sicilian style, refined and welcoming, which envelops its guests in a magical and relaxing atmosphere. One of the strengths of the house is the sensation you get from experiencing the breathtaking scenery from the windows and the two large terraces, both during the day, with the surrounding polychrome hills and the majestic Etna Volcano, and at night, when it is possible to observe the starry sky, always enjoying the silence of nature as only far from the cities is possible.
The particular location of Casa de Arena allows in fact moments of great experience of contact with the environment and pure relaxation in a context of absolute privacy in the shade of citrus and olive trees, or by the pool while enjoying an aperitif at sunset.
The pool area is furnished with all comforts: chaise longue for sunbathing, table and chairs in the shade of a gazebo to enjoy delicious outdoor lunches and dinners, barbecue, large dressing room with bathroom, outdoor shower, and mini-bar for the long summer days.
The swimming pool with large Roman staircase measures 12 meters in length and 6 in width, is open from Easter to October and has been built with elegant taste and so that you can enjoy a unique panorama but in a context of absolute privacy, tranquility and independence.
Casa de Arena consists of a large entrance hall with study area, a spacious and bright living room furnished with fine furniture, stuccoed ceiling with elegant vault, fireplace, TV, two sofa areas, one of which with a French double sofa bed (140x180), and large dining table; the cozy kitchen, equipped with all appliances, is the ideal place to prepare tasty lunches also, on request, with the support of local chefs. The sleeping area consists of two spacious double bedrooms with air conditioning and two characteristic single bedrooms (without air conditioning), two bathrooms, one with a comfortable bathtub and one with a large shower.
Parking included and free inside the property. Free Wi-Fi available for guests.

PLEASE NOTE: the property maintainer, a kind and discreet person, in the absence of the Host, will welcome guests of Casa de Arena and will be available 24/7 in case of need. His presence will be reserved, always useful and at the same time never intrusive. He lives in an indipendent apartment at ground floor.
Casa de Arena, as described, is rented for the exclusive use of the single nucleus.
The swimming pool is open from Easter to end October.

Delightful villa!
Wow, what a fabulous place! Casa de Arean is a beautiful 18th century villa updated with modern conveniences in a rural setting near the charming village of Aidone. If you want to escape the beaten track of tourists, this is the place! Pietro is a very gracious host who provided all the information we needed for a very enjoyable 2 week stay. The on-site caretaker Hagie was available when needed, and was never intrusive. We had a delightful relaxing stay and hope to return!

A touch of class. The most beautiful place.
Wow! Wow! And thrice wow! What an incredible place. The house has a charm and elegance not often seen these days. The panoramic view from the terrace must be one of the best in Sicily. Breathtaking. Best equipped kitchen I have experienced in a rental property. Pool, lovely. Relaxed and efficient help from the lovely Lorenzo and Federica. A touch of class all round.

Peaceful, spectacular views, very comfortable, excellent pool, extremely helpful property manager.
We had a great 9 day stay at Il Gelso Nero Farmhouse. Federico and Lorenzo could not have been more helpful as they showed us around the property and pointed out the best places to visit nearby. The accommodation was just what we wanted. It is comfortable, has modern facilities (which all worked well) and yet retains many old features which give it the feel of a much loved and quite grand family home. Its elevated position and large balcony area enabled us to take in the spectacular views with Mount Etna in the distance. Aidone is a fine rural town in which we enjoyed eating out, buying local food to eat in, walking through typically old and narrow Sicilian streets and being made to feel very welcome. When not simply relaxing by the pool, the nearby historic sites at Morgantina and Villa del Casale (Piazza Armerina) along with the Museum at Aidone gave us plenty to do without having to travel far. We would love to come back to this property and revisit this region of Sicily.
