Once a busy olive press, Chiusaliva has been lovingly transformed into an atmospheric home that is both proud of its agricultural heritage and deeply rooted in its Etnean terroir. Roomy interiors open out onto panoramic terraces and gardens, which survey a beguiling scene: olive groves, citrus orchards and vineyards extend in all directions; the seductive, azure waters of the Ionian Sea stretch out to the horizon; and Mount Etna, the geological progenitor of everything around you, rises imperiously into the cerulean skies.

Highlights

  • IncludedFar-reaching views of the sea and Mount Etna
  • IncludedFabulous 18m-long infinity pool
  • IncludedExtensive grounds, gardens and terraces
