Rustico Piedimonte Etneo

In Piedimonte Etneo, in the hamlet of Presa, stands the majestic ”Casa Gallida,” a historic Sicilian farmhouse dating back to 1840, expertly renovated with elegance, taste, and refinement. Located on the slopes of the imposing Mount Etna, Casa Gallida offers absolute privacy and an unparalleled breathtaking view of the northeast coast over the Ionian Sea. Taormina, Castelmola, and Calabria beyond the Strait appear on the horizon like a postcard suspended between sky and sea. The farmhouse, set in a park of nearly 2 hectares, has a surface area of approximately 500 square meters, mostly on a single level, in addition to approximately 800 square meters of terraces and porches, a saltwater pool with Roman steps, solarium, changing rooms, and outdoor showers. There is also a 160-square-meter rural building in need of renovation, located in the northern part of the park. The farmhouse is accessed via a farm road, a branch of the provincial road 68. The ancient iron gate is automated for access to the convenient parking area. Each area of the property has its own distinct identity and purpose: relaxation, reading, walks along the park’s paths, poolside entertainment, barbecue area, and a small house in the woods for children’s play. The different internal levels and the original structure of the ancient wine press have been skillfully reorganized with care and precision, achieving harmony and functionality in all spaces. The central part of the farmhouse consists of a large living room with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, a spacious and functional kitchen, a summer living room in the veranda, an office area, a library, the master bedroom with en suite bathroom, a second bedroom, a guest bathroom, and a small ancient secret cellar. An entertainment room with cinema space and billiards enriches the property. The property is further enhanced by three outbuildings with panoramic terraces and patios, each with an independent entrance, potentially connected to the main house.
