Overlooking the Etna Park, Scialaj is one of the two holiday homes in Sicily which makes up this historic Sicilian residence from the early 1900s with over 4000 meters of garden and panoramic infinity salt water swimming pool. The swimming pool is shared with the second house inside the residence. The house is completely renovated, it is a jewel of design: walls with exposed bricks, parquet floors and huge windows that leave the gaze free to wander over the calm and beauty of the Mediterranean scrub, exclusive spaces and total independence, the house is immersed in a garden with pine trees, olive trees, pistachio, eucalyptus and the silence is accompanied by a relaxing sound emitted by the waterfall in the pool. The panoramic infinity pool with salt water of 12x7m (0.40 - 1.20m deep), to be enjoyed in the summer months and the designer fireplace to cheer up the winter days, complete the picture of a holiday home in Sicily, which will be able to accompany you in unforgettable holiday moments. This house on Etna welcomes us with lava stone flooring and walls decorated in teak wood, and an open space entrance embellished with a wood-burning fireplace and tempered glass details, the ideal place in which to enjoy a moment of relaxation. The kitchen, entirely made of steel and equipped with all comforts, allows you to enjoy meals in absolute tranquility, while the bedroom offers itself as a prelude to a memorable holiday.

The house was designed by renowned architects, featuring a unique design and Italian Design furnishings. As soon as you enter the residence, you'll walk down a long avenue paved with Sicilian terracotta, adorned with jars and local flora. On the right stands the ancient farmhouse, while on your left, a wall of lava stone bears witness to ancient lava flows from Mount Etna. The entrance to the house is within the internal area of the structure, offering a serene and tranquil ambiance. You'll immediately encounter a courtyard all to yourself, with lava stone flooring, surrounded by grass, and featuring an imposing throne crafted by local artisans in Sicilian terracotta. The house is a blend of typical Sicilian architecture and 1930s industrial design, in perfect harmony with the surroundings. Artwork adorns the roof, paintings, and furniture from Cassina, which can be found in contemporary art museums worldwide. Not to mention the sculptural fireplace, crafted by French artisans from Focus and numbered among a few exemplars worldwide. The dining table, in original 1930s Parisian style, is another example of what you'll find in this boutique house. As an enthusiast of Art and Architecture, the house reflects the choices I've made during my travels and experiences around the world. If your vacation is all about emotions, this house is the perfect place to create unforgettable moments. Welcome, I'm Davide, I have always lived in Sicily, near Catania, just a stone's throw from the sea and the mountains. Sociable and empathetic, I know the area very well and can suggest places to visit, where to dine, and the characteristics and attractions of the area. I have a moderate level of English, am empathetic, cheerful, and know Sicily very well as I was born and have always lived here. I'm very accessible, living next door in the main house. For any special requests, just let me know in advance, and I'll do my best to accommodate them.
Located on the slopes of Etna, the house is located in a particularly quiet spot, although close to the city square, from which it is possible to access the main conveniences and services less than 500 meters away. Ragalna is a well-connected town in a strategic location. It's a very peaceful village with few inhabitants but with all the necessary services. Just a few meters from the house, there's a restaurant-pizzeria, and within less than 500 meters, you'll find a pharmacy, bar, post office, tobacco shop, butcher, supermarket, and petrol station.
