Once a functioning lighthouse, the historic Old Lighthouse of Brucoli has been thoughtfully transformed into Villa del Faro, a unique luxury retreat that blends heritage, design, and sustainability. Perched above the sea in the charming fishing village of Brucoli—just outside the UNESCO-listed Val di Noto—this intimate residence tells a story of travel, tradition, and transformation.
Built in 1912, the lighthouse once stood watch over the coast and local fishermen. Today, it has been reimagined as a high-end villa, retaining its maritime spirit while embracing refined Italian craftsmanship. Completed in 2020, the renovation project carefully preserved the lighthouse’s historical essence, fusing it with sophisticated, eco-conscious architecture and design.
The villa offers a breathtaking panoramic view stretching from the sea to the majestic silhouette of Mount Etna. Its rooftop terrace, accessible through the lantern tower, is a standout feature—beautifully tiled in flowing patterns of colorful majolica and furnished with elegant lounge seating. From this incredible vantage point, guests can take in the sweeping coastal views, the nearby 15th-century Aragonese castle, and the volcanic grandeur of Etna on the horizon. It’s the perfect place to relax in the breeze, breathe in the salty air, and let the serene atmosphere wash over you.
On the main seafront terrace, guests will find a stylish dining and lounge area, along with a Jacuzzi featuring chromotherapy lighting. A small ladder leads down to a wooden walkway that offers direct, easy access to the sea—ideal for a refreshing swim or simply enjoying the water’s edge.
