Just a stone's throw from the beach, enveloped by lush orchard gardens, stands Cornelia, a meticulously restored 17th-century farmhouse. Set on a sprawling working farm estate spanning 247 acres, adorned with olive and orange groves, a plethora of Mediterranean flora, and even a horse-riding facility. The expansive villa, offering vistas of Mt. Etna, grants peace and seclusion around a central courtyard.
