Barone di Villagrande

Step into the heart of Sicilian winemaking at Barone di Villagrande, a historic estate that has been producing exceptional wines for generations. This 18th-century manor, perched on the slopes of Mount Etna, is surrounded by lush forests, rolling vineyards, and breathtaking views stretching to the bay of Taormina.

After an extensive restoration in 2017, Barone di Villagrande seamlessly blends the elegance of Sicilian Baroque with modern comforts. With only four individually designed rooms, each featuring refined decor and spacious double beds, the estate offers an intimate and exclusive atmosphere. Some rooms can also be arranged with an extra bed or a baby crib for added convenience.

Wine is at the heart of the experience. Guests can explore the historic wine cellar, listen to passionate winemakers share their stories, and enjoy guided tastings of estate-grown wines. The restaurant, under the direction of Chef Vittorio Caruso, pairs the bold flavors of Etna’s cuisine with wines crafted on the property. Rather than selecting wines to match dishes, every menu is thoughtfully designed around the unique character of each vintage, using only seasonal and locally sourced ingredients.

The estate offers a range of activities for wine lovers and adventurers alike. Stroll through the vineyards, explore Etna’s rugged landscapes by foot or mountain bike, or unwind at the infinity pool overlooking the vines. For those seeking to discover more of Sicily, private boat trips and off-road excursions to Mount Etna can be arranged.

At Barone di Villagrande, every detail reflects a deep respect for nature, tradition, and hospitality. Whether you’re here for the wine, the landscape, or the tranquility of the Sicilian countryside, this historic estate promises an unforgettable experience.
