The kitchen is also equipped with all comforts: dishwasher, American coffee machine, kettle, toaster, microwave oven. On the ground floor, there are three bedrooms with views of the Ionian Sea, two full bathrooms and one with only services. In the attic, there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms with a shower plus a living area. In the garden then, there is a patio where you can eat outdoors, the BBQ; tables and chairs and sunbeds all around the large pool. The outdoor shower, the play area for children, the table tennis and the basketball hoop complete the lush garden. The villa is an oasis of peace. Surrounded by greenery just a few minutes walk away is a small village, Linera, where you can buy freshly baked bread, a small but well-stocked supermarket, the church, newspapers, an ATM ... The house is ideal for families with children, and for groups of friends where everyone can find their own spaces or stay together. Because of its location, the villa is the perfect starting point for excursions to the Etna Volcano, Taormina, Acireale, Syracuse, and just 5 km away you can find the sea.

Splendid villa, spacious and comfortable

This is an exceptional villa, very large and comfortable, with generous reception rooms and lots of lovely indoor and outdoor spaces to lounge in. The pool is larger than usual and a gorgeous place to swim. There is a wonderful curtained outside dining area, again with masses of space for everyone. Amazing views of Etna and the sea. The local village is good for most shopping with an excellent bakery. The best beach is at Fondachello. Acireale is a beautiful place for a meal and a wander round some wonderful churches and squares.

Amazing villa

Fantastic location, sea on one side, Etna on the other. We were a party of 5 couples lots of space to either sit round the pool in the sun or sit in the shade. Very well equipped, Maria couldn't do enough for us and was especially concerned when the weather was bad and Etna decided to wake up!! Gloria cooked for us all one evening which was very enjoyable. Good supermarket pizzeria and bakery in walking distance, Good to use as a base, highly recommended.

This villa is absolutely stunning with everything you could possibly need, Maria is the perfect host

We chose to do something very special for our holiday as we were celebrating my mother's 70th birthday, and this villa did not disappoint. We were 4 adults and 2 children of 11 and 7 years, and we were spoilt for space. The place is huge! We arrived quite late on a Saturday night and Maria our host was there to meet us. We didn't drive as we're not confident driving abroad, and Maria was kind enough to organise a transfer for us which made the arrival very slick. The local supermarket is closed on Sundays and Maria was extremely thoughtful and had bought various things for us so we wouldn't go hungry, as well as a special bottle of wine and beautiful lemons picked from the property itself! Such a lovely personal touch that was really appreciated. Locally there is a small supermarket, bakery, butcher, fruit and vegetables, a souvenir shop and pizza restaurant about 10 mins walk away. Very handy! If you don't drive it can get quite pricey to get around to visit different areas and excursions but that was the choice we made. If you drive, it's easier. We managed to get to Taormina, Gardini Naxos, Isla Bella, Catania and of course Etna. There's plenty of parking and you're secure and away from the main road behind 2 electric gates and up a driveway. The pool and the garden... so special. Even though we were out and about we spent time in the pool which is absolutely stunning and perfect for the 32 degree heat we had. The view... wow! Our highlight of our holiday was the view. It's a sea view on one side of the garden right out to the Taormina coastline and in the other is the beautiful pièce de résistance, Mount Etna herself. During the day she was gently smoking away, then at night we were treated to amazing bright orange lava flows!!! Every night!!! We couldn't believe our luck. Really topped off an amazing holiday in an extra special villa with a perfect attentive host. Thank you so much Maria!

May half term break

Stayed at the villa as a family with 2 children and 2 friends. We had everything we needed at the villa and plenty of space outside for our children to play. Maria even brought them a surprise castle slide! Bakery and pizzeria just a short walk away down into the village and a small supermarket. Great location to explore the sights of Sicily . Bbq was great outside lots of space to eat down in the garden and covered area. Only thing we needed was better weather but we still managed to use the pool, which was a great size for us all. Maria was a great host and checked up on us during our stay via what’s app and offered to help with a dentist when a member of our party had an abscess. We hope to visit again

About the host

Hosted by MARIA G.

This villa is very important for my family. As a child, my husband used to play with his friends in this "palmento" (the place where wine grapes are pressed). As an adult he built our house around this "palmento". In this garden, we also celebrated our wedding. Here our children are born and raised. In this house we lived unforgettable moments with our friends, we enjoyed the pool, garden and the barbeque.

Now our children are studying away and we decided to move into town.

Why they chose this property

The location is very convenient, in the middle of the east coast of Sicily, the panorama is beautiful, on one side there is the majestic Volcano Etna, on the other side you can see the Taormina, the Ionian sea and, with clear sky, Calabria, Catania's coast.
