This Dreamy Italian Lakeside Villa Is Up For Sale

This Godfather III Property Is Up For Sale

This imposing castle sits tucked behind iron gates, in a bustling corner of Sicily. Situated on the southern slopes of Etna, it’s just a stone’s throw from the Ionian coast and the cultural amenities of Acireale, while Catania airport is a half hour drive away.

Arranged over three joint buildings on two levels, with rectangular towers at either side, this castle is strikingly neo-Gothic. There’s ogival arches, guelph battlements, large mullioned windows, columns and an imposing bulwark.

Throughout the property you’ll find elegant decor, huge ceilings, original fireplaces, grand halls, statement staircases and a wine cellar. Just imagine the parties you can have here. Host drinks and a grand dinner in the hall – or even make it alfresco in the warmer months thanks to the two acres of grounds. And with 22 bedrooms, there’s plenty of space for guests to stay.

The chapel is a particular gem in this property. There’s columns, a hanging chandelier and the piece de resistance – a blue starry sky-style vaulted ceiling embellished with pretty frescoes. It truly enhances the traditional Italian feel of the property. And if you’re looking for a potential boutique wedding venue, the chapel is a definite added bonus.

Originally built for the noble Pennisi family of Floritstella, this property will make any owner feel like a duke. Whether you’re looking for a dreamy family home, holiday escape or commercial opportunity, this castle has both the grandeur and charm to suit any purpose.

Available through Sotheby’s International Realty for €6,000,000
