"Discover wild land and its wine in the heart of century-old vineyards at the foot of Etna"
Marco Nicolosi
Owner
DESCRIPTION BARONE DI VILLAGRANDE
At the foot of Sicily's Etna volcano, Barone di Villagrande is a hundred-year-old vineyard rooted in a once dry and now fertile land. It is here that the Nicolosi family, in the region since the 17th century, has written much of the wine history of Etna and Italy.
In the heart of the vineyards and the many woods that surround it, an old 18th-century palace welcomes you into its 4 rooms, designed to give every traveller the privilege of feeling at home in a renovated residence of the Italian nobility.
With its panoramic infinity pool at a height of 700 metres with a vineyard view, barone di Villagrande is the perfect address for an exceptional "Wine Retreat".
As for the restaurant, chef Vittorio Caruso marries tradition and inventiveness with the seasons and celebrates organic and local produce.
In this little corner of paradise, all your dreams come true thanks to the attention of the staff and the local wonders. There are many activities awaiting you: hiking in the woods and walks in the vineyards, cycling or off-road excursions, or relaxing days on the beaches of Taormina, private boat excursions or a tourist fishing experience, not to mention cooking lessons.
