Wine Resort Villagrande

A 18th century Manor, one of the oldest winery estates in Sicily. A wine Resort among forests and vineyards where the flavours come from 0 km. High up there’s Mount Etna, down there the Taormina bay.

The first sight is something you can’t forget. The Manor from ‘700 stands tall over the vineyards and the forests. The infinity pool reflects sky and hills, vineyards and sunlight, a light that takes different shades for each moment of the day. From the 700 meters of altitude, the view over the vineyard , the hills until the sea. A perfect experience between the most noble vines of Etna.

Outside there’s an infinity pool that overlooks the vineyards. All around, the nature and the silence of forests and vineyards on the slopes of Etna.
Inside four rooms, to give our guests all the comfort they deserve for having chosen a special place: the pleasure of enjoying a noble and historical country manor, to see the constant dedication of the workers in the fields and in the cellar, to live an experience surrounded by nature and the Etna landscapes. The pleasure to taste our wines together with the people who make them and their tales.

Four rooms to give to the guests the attention and the privileges they deserve for having chosen to stay in Villagrande.

We took the historical beauty of the Manor and we renewed it, keeping its Baroque character but with a touch of modern comfort and style.
So the original terracotta floor meets the essential lines of design restrooms. The vintage furnitures meet the modern comforts of a house which has changed maintaining its hystorical beauty. Only 4 rooms, each one with a large double bed. Two of them could host a third bed and a baby cot.

In a Resort shaped around wine, the tasting moments create an unforgettable experience.

In our restaurant the rich tradition of the Sicilian kitchen meets the fine inventions of the modernity and the wines of the estate are accompanied by dishes prepared by our chef Vittorio Caruso.

We are open to wine-enthusiasts and wine-fascinated people to make them visit our vineyards and our Etna historical cellar. We provide guided tastings and the opportunity to try the dishes of the Etnean kitchen paired with our wines. Barone di Villagrande wines are available to be bought in our winery. A restaurant where to try the flavours of Etna paired with our wines. Menus are entirely seasonal, followed in detail by our starred chef Accursio Craparo and cared for by the hands and energy of our chef Vittorio Caruso. We use only the ingredients coming from our garden: vegetables and herbs. Ours is the extra-virgin oil from Nocellara dell’Etna olives. Meat and cheese come from farms located on Etna. The Chestnut honey is made by honeybees nested in our forest. The ideas come from Giulia, our young chef that loves this land as its flavours.
