Lovely flat in a Superb location
My wife and I loved our week long stay. We were met by one of the owners of the property who was extremely friendly and spoke excellent English. She even gave us a little tour of the area to show us where to buy food, and the best local restaurants.
The view from the balcony and roof terrace was beautiful looking out over the sea in one direction and mount Etna in the other. It was the perfect place for the rest and recuperation we both needed after busy working schedules.
It was exceptionally hot a couple of days, but the fresh breeze coming off the sea was very welcome, and for the most part we didn't feel the absence of A/C and ceiling fans.
It was also a good place to explore the NE of the island, half an hour from Catania to the south and Taormina to the north, and an hour from Mount Etna itself.
If we return to Sicily in the future, we will certainly be trying to book here again
schöner Urlaub
wir fühlten uns in dem Haus sehr wohl und liebten besonders die Nähe zum Meer, den traumhaften Meeresblick und die ruhige Umgebung.Das Haus selbst war sauber und gemütlich eingerichtet.Die Küche war recht gut ausgestattet, allerdings hätten wir uns sehr über einen Wasserkocher und Toaster gefreut.Optimal war die Lage des Hauses, da wir relativ schnell viele Sehenswürdigkeiten erreichen konnten.Ein Auto ist jedoch unbedingt erforderlich.
Unsere Kontaktperson Alessandra zeigte uns nach der Ankunft eine Bäckerei und einen Supermarkt in Pozillo, wo wir für unseren täglichen Bedarf einkaufen konnten.Ebenso empfahl sie uns eine Pizzeria in dem Ort, in der wir einige Male sehr gut und preisgünstig speisten.
Wir haben unseren Urlaub sehr genossen und können sowohl das Haus als auch die Betreuung vor Ort weiterempfehlen.
Great Apartment in beautiful location overlooking Ionian Sea
The apartment is very well appointed with everything you need. The lounge & front bedroom have doors on to the balcony overlooking the rocks & sea - great views across to Calabria - getting up early to watch the sunrise is well worth it ! There's a decent size kitchen, well equipped, and bathroom. The two bedrooms at the rear of the flat are a bit tired but ok. Our only complaint would be that we were not given enough info when we arrived. We were not shown how to access the two additional outdoor areas - the roof terrace which is huge & has a BBQ + great views of Etna - & the back balcony which gets the sun in the afternoon.
The managers were, however, most helpful, bringing us wood for the open fire when it got cold & a clothes dryer, they were very anxious to help when required - grazie ! It would be useful if info on the local area was provided - shops, restaurants etc. There's a train station 10 mins drive away where you can travel up & down the coast to Catania, Messina, Siracusa, Taormina etc, if you don't fancy driving - Sicilian drivers are crazy, make sure you're fully insured ! You're within striking distance of plenty of attractions, you'll need a car. Don't miss Etna (about 1hr drive)- it's expensive 63 euros pp, but well worth it !
The apartment is in a nice residential area but the rest of Pozzillo is a bit shabby.
We really enjoyed our stay & would definitely recommend it.
Lovely. Great views of volcanoe. Taste of real Italy.

A pleasant base to explore nature and culture along the east coast of Sicily
We stayed the second week of May 2016 in Alessandra's apartment in Pozillo and enjoyed it very much. The spacious flat is located in the upper floor of a two-story building, situated on the ragged lava coast just 20 m away from the sea (actually, this land resulted from an Etna eruption in the 11th century). It offers a large balcony to the East, where you can enjoy breakfast in the morning sun, and also a huge roof terrace for sun-bathing, reading, or having a barbeque. From there one has a fantastic panorama view of the surrounding towns, orange and lemon plantations, the sea, and the all dominating Etna massif. The apartment has just been renovated completely, still preserving the typical Sicilian style in colors, furnishings and beautiful ceramic decorations, thereby showing its own pleasant charisma. One can still feel that this was the residence of a large Sicilian family (Alessandra's parents) during the hot summer months. Accordingly the kitchen is equipped with a large number of dishes, silverware, pots and pans.
For us (a German couple) this was an ideal base to explore the natural and cultural high-lights of the region by car, especially the North and South routes into the Etna park. On the North route a very impressive and easy hiking path into the unreal crater landscape can be found about 1 km before the refuge (Refugio) Citelli. Highly recommendable on the South route - aside from the Refugio Sapienza region- is also the Vulcano House Museum in Nicolosi (call for opening hours).
The whole organization of our visit went very smoothly, Alessandra received us at the apartment, gave us the keys and some instructions for the flat, made a tour with us through the surrounding villages, and showed us all the places which are of general interest for tourists. For us, as non-Italien speakers, it was a great pleasure to communicate with her in fluent English.
We can recommend the apartment without any restrictions.
Beautiful scenery
We enjoyed our stay in the beautiful Casa Ionio in Acireale. The scenery was wonderful and on the terrace above the house you had a wonderful view of the Etna, and on the other side the blue sea. The weather was very warm. We have never been in a house this close to the sea. All you needed was in the house. The service was good. A very nice experience.
Location
Pozzillo is an excellent base from which to explore eastern Sicily. The quaint fishing village lies halfway between Catania and Taormina and just five kilometres from Acireale (a pretty little city, built on a plateau of lava, that is known for its Baroque churches). Giardini Naxos, a seaside resort with beautiful sandy beaches, is just 25 kilometres from Pozzillo. Beside it we find Taormina ‘the pearl of the Mediterranean’ and the most exclusive seaside resort in Sicily. Its ancient Greek theatre is world famous for its extraordinary panoramic views. Santa Maria la Scala and Aci Trezza are pleasant seaside villages near Pozzillo. Travelling south, one hour’s drive away lies Syracuse
Other Activities: Excursions to Mount Etna, the biggest volcano of Europa
