Charming Sicily between Mount Etna and Taormina

Hospitality in charming inserted in an ancient country property 800. The unique location of the place, suspended between the sea and the volcano Etna, will be the setting for an unforgettable stay. The two annexes are independent and equipped with private bathroom, air conditioning, minibar, TV, Wi Fi. Both are characterized by an element of nature: "Water" with the colors of blue and "Fire" with shades of red. The kitchen is shared among the guests of the two rooms and is made within an exclusive environment carved into the lava rock. The kitchen is located a few meters in front of the two apartments and is equipped with stove, oven, microwave, grill, washing machine, refrigerator with freezer, pots and pans.
Manicured green spaces, a sun terrace and lush farm planted with lemon and olive trees, will be at your disposal for a unique holiday.
In addition, the owners passion for sailing will be an opportunity to take advantage, on request, boat trips to offshore sailing to discover the coast of Taormina and nature reserves of the island of the Cyclops and the Timpa of Acireale.

Wonderful proud property owners
Antonella & Claudio treated us like family in their 1800's home that have been in Claudio's family for generations. The property was historical, well maintained with a view of Mt Etna and the ocean. At night you can see Italy's shore lights. So much welcoming, it even had a very friendly kitty to greet you every morning. Nice privacy and a functional kitchen. We would love to return to their home sometime in the near future if we get to return to Sicily. This trip was wine business, so maybe someday we can come back and relax!

Beautiful place at the foot of Mt. Etna
We had a great stay. Claudio and his wife were gracious and helpful. On our first night Claudio quickly got us a reservation at a lovely restaurant not far from the house. The house was perfect for us. The bedrooms are beautifully furnished and very comfortable for our family of 3. The kitchen is very well equipped. The outdoor living areas were more than anything we could have asked for. Wonderful place!! Thank you so much Claudio.

Charming house at the foot of Mt. Etna
This house in Santa Venerina, on the Eastern side of Sicily, was our last stop on a 2 week trip around the island. It turns out we saved the best for last. The house is in a lovely setting on the the hillside, with a stunning view of the sea. Our casa was spacious, comfortable and quiet, with a well-equipped kitchen meant to be shared (but we were the only ones there during our 4 night stay). Antonella and Claudio were so welcoming and charming, and made us feel so at home. They were happy to suggest restaurants & wineries to explore nearby. I can see coming back for at least a week or 2. It was the perfect ending to a fantastic trip. Grazie mille, Antonella & Claudio!

Gorgeous Villa with wonderful hosts
Location is perfect if you want to be away from the hubbub, so you will need a car. Villa was gorgeous, with great views (came with a resident outdoor cat). The two double rooms and kitchen have their own entrance which all open out to the courtyard (ie they are separate dwellings whereby you need to walk through the outside courtyard to get to each). Dwelling 1 has a double bedroom with en-suite, dwelling 2 has a double bedroom with separate bathroom and a front room with sofa, small table with two chairs and TV. Kitchen has seating for two. Definitely recommend this villa.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft
Der Aufenthalt war sehr schön. Allerdings laßen wir die Beschreibung so, als wäre alles eine Unterkunft. Letztendlich waren es zwei Appartements. Wir waren im untren Appartement und hatten somit nur den Blick in den Garten. Nur wenn wir hochgegangen sind, hatten wir den Blick aufs Meer und zum Ätna. Gut war, dass das obere Appartement nicht vermietet war, sonst wäre das nicht so einfach gewesen. Die Matratzen und das Kopfkissen waren sehr hart. Wer harte Matratzen mag, schläft gut. Antonella und ihr Mann sind sehr freundlich und mega bemüht. Vielen Dank an die Beiden! Appartement und

Claudio and Antonella were the BEST host!!!
We cannot say enough high praises about Claudio and Antonella, they have been the MOST warm, welcoming, and attentive hosts - they really went above and beyond to accommodate us during our stay, and for this we will forever be grateful. Not only did they give us helpful and insightful travel guides on the daily, our flight ended up being cancelled last minute due to a volcanic eruption and they graciously let us stay one more night for free of charge. It goes without saying how beautiful their home was - not only was the view from the terrace overlooking the orchard fantastic, but the homes were both cozy and impeccably maintained. Both Claudio and Antonella were always ready and eager to help with all sorts of out-of-the-ordinary requests. They truly proved to be the beacons of Sicilian hospitality!

Wunderschöne Unterkunft
Wir waren drei Nächte in dieser wunderschönen Unterkunft mit atemberaubendem Ausblick auf das Meer und den Ätna. Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und der Check In problemlos. Es liegt im Grünen zwischen Orangenbäumen und einem liebevoll gestaltetem Garten. Die Küche ist in einer alten Höhle und sehr modern eingerichtet, so wie die gesamte Unterkunft. Es gibt auch eine sehr süße Katze :) Von der Unterkunft aus kommt man sehr gut nach Catania, Taormina und zum Ätna. Somit ist sie ein sehr guter Ausgangspunkt um Sizilien kennenzulernen. Wir hatten einen sehr schönen und unvergesslichen Aufenthalt und freuen uns darauf irgendwann wieder zu kommen.

Charming Rustic Property
A converted 19th century winery located in a grove of citrus fruit trees made for a relaxing and enjoyable respite during our 3 week Sicily vacation. It was so nice to have peace and quiet after spending days in busy city centers in Palermo and Erice. Great hosts were available when needed but allowed us to have plenty of private family time with our adult daughter. Found some great local restaurants and enjoyed light meals in the kitchen - another nice break from hotel and restaurant food. The local towns nearby were nothing special but the property was close to Catania and Taormina for day trips. A car is required and off street parking is provided.

Das Haus und der Garten sind wirklich sehr schön. Hier wurde mit viel Liebe zum Detail entworfen und gestaltet. Wir haben es genossen unter den Zitronenbäumen zu frühstücken und abends auf der Dachterrasse ein Glas Rotwein zu trinken. Die Aussicht ist toll. Claudio und Antonella sind sehr nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Wir würden jederzeit sehr gerne wieder dort Urlaub machen.
