Situated a few kilometres from Santa Venerina, between the Ionian coast and imposing Mount Etna, Linera is an ideal location for exploring the wonders of the eastern coast of Sicily. In the lush garden, characterised by flowering bushes, scented Mediterranean plants and tall trees that create pleasant, shaded areas, terraces alternate with flights of steps and green lawns, creating an atmosphere of pure tranquillity. Once a noble winery in Etna, Linera has been carefully transformed into an elegant, charming residence. The conservative restoration has preserved and enhanced the original elements, such as the terracotta floors, the walls and pillars in lava stone and the ceilings with exposed beams. The different sections of the property have been cleverly connected by corridors and stairways, respecting the historic soul of the building while integrating modern technologies such as energy autonomy, air conditioning in the bedrooms and wi-fi. The interiors, which cover about 900 sq m, are a succession of spacious living rooms and dining rooms. The understated and sophisticated decor combines pieces of modern design with antique family heirlooms and twentieth-century objets d’art, reflecting the owner's taste for vintage and design. The spacious, well-equipped kitchen, with direct access to the garden and outdoor dining area, is perfect for those who love to cook. The bedrooms, distributed between the ground and split-level floors, offer comfort and privacy. Many of the rooms, including the living rooms, open onto large terraces that overlook the manicured gardens and the splendid swimming pool. Guests can enjoy the outdoor living area, relax under the pergola or dine outside thanks to the outdoor kitchen and barbecue, immersed in an environment of great beauty and serenity. Completing the offer is a well-equipped gym with relaxation area, sauna and Turkish bath, making Linera a comfortable and welcoming retreat, so pleasant that it will be difficult to leave it even to explore the wonders of eastern Sicily.

Park:
Linera is located in an enchanting Mediterranean fenced-in oasis of 9,000 sq m (the gardens is enclosed by two-meter-high dry stone walls and an entrance gate with wide mesh). The property is characterised by large terracotta terraces, surrounded by flowering plants, cacti and typical Mediterranean trees, which extend between the two sections of the estate, creating different relaxation areas. A charming outdoor dining area, shaded by scented creepers, is accessible from both the kitchen and the adjacent dining room. Manicured paths wind around the property, connecting the main house to the gardens, also accessible from the ground floor bedrooms, the second master bedroom and the living area. In this part of the garden is the swimming pool and a terraced area with two pergolas: one set up for relaxation, the other for outdoor dining. This area is served by a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, with refrigerator, induction hob, sink, dishwasher and a convenient changing room with bathroom and shower.

Swimming Pool:
The swimming pool is located on a slightly sloping level of the garden, about 50 m from the back of the villa, easily reached in a few steps from the French windows on the ground floor.

Surrounding the pool is the solarium area of about 60 sq m, equipped with 10 sunbeds for relaxation.
