About this property

Sicilian Retreat: Pool & Garden

  • A Relaxing Stay on Etna’s Slopes
    Set within a charming villa, this bright and air-conditioned apartment offers a peaceful retreat on the second floor, with a spacious terrace, private BBQ, and views of lush gardens. Guests can enjoy a shared saltwater pool, ideal for cooling off after a day of adventure. The cozy living-dining area and well-equipped kitchen make it perfect for couples or small families. A small vegetable garden is available for guests, and little ones are welcome with a cot and high chair provided.

    Discover Sicily’s Natural & Cultural Treasures
    Ideally located in Santa Venerina, this stay places you just minutes from some of Sicily’s top attractions. Explore the lunar landscapes of Etna Park just 15 km away or unwind at the scenic lava-rock beaches of Pozzillo and Stazzo, only 9 km from your doorstep. Nearby, Acireale’s Baroque architecture and the dramatic sea stacks of Acitrezza offer a cultural and visual treat. Taormina and Catania are also easily reachable for day trips full of history, shopping, and sea views.

    Taste the Flavors of the Region
    Santa Venerina is famous for its artisanal liqueurs and pastries—don’t miss trying the local rosolio or almond sweets. Head to Zafferana Etnea for its world-renowned honey, or enjoy seafood and Sicilian classics in Acireale at restaurants like Trattoria U Puttusu or I Cavaddari. Local markets and bakeries nearby ensure fresh ingredients are always within reach.
