This elegant rural casa padronale (country house) is set within the hills of southeastern Sicily. Positioned between 425 and 450 meters above sea level, the estate overlooks terraced fields supported by historic dry-stone walls and lies near the protected Bosco di Santo Pietro Mediterranean reserve.
Carefully restored and expanded, the property combines historic architecture, modern amenities, and high-value agricultural land, creating a perfect balance between tradition and contemporary rural living.
The property is conveniently located just a 15' drive from Caltagirone, where there are three supermarkets (Lidl, Eurospin, Incoop), schools (from kindergarten to middle school), and the train station connecting to the whole of Sicily. The nearest cities are Ragusa (1 hour), Gela (50 minutes), Noto (1 hour 30 minutes), Syracuse (1h 30'), and Agrigento (2h). The nearest airport is Comiso (35'), but Catania (1h) is also very convenient.
