About this place
Domus Sicilia Immobiliare offers for sale an exclusive property located in Solicchiata, in the municipality of Castiglione di Sicilia, one of the most charming and authentic areas on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, renowned worldwide for its wine production and unique landscapes. The sale includes the commercial premises (walls) of a renowned restaurant and the adjacent Casale degli Zappini, a charming real estate complex that represents a rare opportunity for investors, tour operators, and lovers of historic Sicilian homes. Please note that the sale concerns only the walls of the restaurant and not the management of the business. The entire complex extends over a plot of approximately 5,000 square meters, surrounded by nature, vineyards, and breathtaking views of Mount Etna.

Palmenti (wine vats) are one of the most important symbols of Etna's wine culture and are today properties of great historical and tourist interest. In the Solicchiata area, between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, wine production experienced extraordinary development, leaving behind rural structures and palmenti of great architectural value. The two existing residential units allow the property to be immediately used as a hospitality facility, vacation home, relais, or private residence, while the two additional units, to be renovated, offer interesting opportunities for expansion and enhancement. The large outdoor spaces, panoramic terraces, and land make the property ideal for: Charming resort Agriturismo Country house Boutique hotel Wine resort Event and reception venue Tourism and hospitality business related to Etna's food and wine The location is strategic: immersed in the tranquility of the Etna countryside yet easily accessible, just minutes from the main Etna DOC wineries, the volcano's nature trails, and the Alcantara Gorges. A unique property where history, tradition, hospitality, and nature meet in one of Sicily's most sought-after areas. Casale degli Zappini is not simply a property to purchase, but a life and business project in the heart of the Etna Park.

Open in Google MapsBuying property in Italy
Italy is open to most foreign buyers under reciprocity rules (EU/EEA buyers always; non-EU buyers from countries with bilateral agreements, which covers the UK, US, Canada, Australia and most major markets). A codice fiscale is required, and a notaio handles the conveyance as a neutral public official. An independent lawyer or geometra is strongly recommended for due diligence.
The €1 home schemes in southern villages are real but come with strict renovation deadlines (typically 3 years) and security deposits.
Non-resident mortgages from Italian banks are available but limited (typically 50–60% LTV).
The prima casa (primary residence) tax rate of 2% requires you to declare residency in the same comune within 18 months of completion — failure means back-taxes plus penalties.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
