Inside: The interiors of Casa de Arena have been lovingly restored, maintaining the original structure but bringing the fabric of the building into line with modern requirements. Entrance is into a study cum hallway and along a corridor, of which all the other rooms open up. On the right is the dining and living area, complete with a fireplace decorated with antique ceramic tiles from Caltagirone and a terrace with splendid views of the entire valley. The original alcove is furnished with a sofa and armchair and flanked on either side by two doors that lead to small single bedrooms.To the left of the entrance hall is the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom with bath, another double bedroom, a bathroom with shower and, finally, the fully-equipped kitchen and pantry. Furniture and furnishings have been chosen with great care and attention to detail.
Outside:The focal point of the outside areas is the lovely, panoramic pool, surrounded by a terracotta-tiled patio. A shaded poolside dining area the surveys the surrounding countryside, taking in the hills and the fields right the way across the hills to Mount Etna. There is also a large garden, and plenty of space for shady, al-fresco relaxing and dining.
