Close to beaches, nature and culture
Only a 5-minute drive away are numerous beaches, some equipped with seasonal facilities.
Nature lovers will enjoy unique scenery due to the proximity of the majestic volcano Etna, which is only 30 minutes away, and the Alcantara Gorges, only 35 minutes away;

Not only is the property very beautiful, but the host, Francesco is a wonderful man. Very accessible, and goes out of his way to ensure your stay is as good as it can be. The appartment (top floor) has everything you need, and a wonderful view of Mt Etna. It is very spacious and clean will all amenities. Francesco provided all sorts of recommendations for restaurants, bars, cafe's, places to go etc., allowing us to maximize our stay. After leaving, one of our bags was lost at the Catania/Sicily airport - Francesco even offered to go there and help find it - WOW. Thank you Francesco for your wonderful hospitality and friendship.

Perfect❤️Stay here

We stayed at this beautiful penthouse for 8 days and LOVED IT! The apartment is in an ideal location to walk the streets of Giarre and we made several easy day trips to Ortigia and Taormina. The best part though was the hospitality of the owners Francesco and his wife Francesca. They went above and beyond…providing us with recommendations for local restaurants,grocery stores and local site seeing. We definitely plan on staying again and give the hosts thanks and the highest possible recommendation. Thank you both for being the ultimate hosts!

Simply wonderful!

Von dieser Wohnung kann man nur schwärmen: Ansprechend möbliert, großzügig geschnitten, ruhig, mit eigenem Parkplatz, Küche sehr gut ausgerüstet, direkter Blick auf den Ätna. Der Hausherr kümmert sich rührend um seine Gäste, wir würden jederzeit gerne wieder hinfahren.

Vacanza in pieno relax!!!

Appartamento fantastico, spazioso (noi eravamo in 10 e siamo stati benissimo), dotato di tutto come descrizione e foto, ha rispettato tutte le nostre aspettative. Dal balcone una vista mozzafiato sull'Etna, abbiamo assistito anche ad una esplosione notturna in diretta!!! Un grazie sincero a Francesco che ha soddisfatto tutte le nostre esigenze e ci ha consigliato Paolo, geologo che ci ha accompagnato in una magnifica escursione sull'Etna, il must della vacanza!!! Orgogliosi di essere stati i primi italiani a soggiornare nell'appartamento!!!!

Ein Urlaub in einer luxuriösen Ferienwohnung

Zwar verraten die Bilder schon alles, bleibt eigentlich nur zu schreiben: all das stimmt. Die Wohnung ist wirklich groß , hat einen riesigen Wohnbereich und zwei große Schlafzimmer. Die Küche ist super ausgestattet und auch riesig. Von beiden Terassen aus kann man den Ätna sehen, es gibt Liegestühle, Sonnenschirm und einen Grill. Was man auf den Bildern nicht sehen kann, ist, dass Francesco überaus gastfreundlich ist und sich rührend um seine Gäste kümmert. Danke Francesco, für diesen tollen Urlaub
