Catania vacation rentals

A true little paradise with private swimming bay! Alessandra is a 5* host! She thinks and cares for everything. The house is kept supertidy and cosy, all equipment worked fine. We - a family of four adults - spent 2 weeks in this house in Sep. 2019. Only few other guests or owners were in the whole community Baia di Arcile of appr 70 houses. We often had the bay on our own and went swimming every day several times with Etna view. No need to drive to other beaches. Bath shoes are not needed if you walk carefully into the water on the large round stones. Swimming is safe, only few boats 300m outside, clean water. Only one day with heavy rain/thunderstorm. Others sunny, 30-33C but there are always cool corners in the house or terraces. Location also great for excursions, none takes longer than 1 hour by car to reach: Catania, trekking trip on Etna with (ashara.it)(not the peak, the vulcano was too active, still impressive), Sortino and the stunning Nekropolis von Pantalica, old and new Noto, Syracus, … (Note for plane passengers: though the airport is only 30 minutes away, on our way back Wednesday noon luggage check-in and security took nearly 1 ½ hours!) The quiet location comes with a only tiny drawback: you need a car even to go to the nice nearby sleepy village Brucoli (superb Granita at Café Sud! and great bread at the bakery! Many restaurants) (there are no walks cross country possible, fences everywhere). We didn’t mind the train at all (short commuter train during the day, it’s so close, you only hear it 2-3 seconds). AirBnB as it should be! (private holiday house that, when not used by the owners, offers tourists a beautiful spot to discover the country) I only wished we had more time to talk with Alessandra - maybe some other vacation … :-)

Tutto semplicemente perfetto! La casa di Moris e` molto bella e accogliente, grande e spaziosa, noi eravamo in 3 ma 4 persone ci stanno molto comodamente. La vista sull'Etna e' impagabile. Arredamento ed elettrodomestici nuovi e funzionali, fornita di tutto il necessario e oltre, pulizia ineccepibile. wi-fi ottimo. Moris e i suoi familiari sono sempre disponibili in caso di necessita` e, conoscendo ovviamente la zona, possono consigliare un po` su tutto. Avrete a disposizione 2 balconi per rilassarvi e godervi il fresco. Sparsi per la casa e il giardino ci sono oggetti curiosi ed esotici che Moris e la moglie hanno collezionato girando il mondo e che danno un tocco davvero super alla vacanza. La zona e' davvero molto bella e la posizione e' strategica per girare una vasta area della Sicilia.

L’host è stato gentilissimo, sempre molto disponibile e cordiale. Ci ha preparato due colazioni favolose per le mattine in cui eravamo presso l’alloggio. L’appartamento é in una zona molto bella, vicino alla funivia per Taormina e a due passi dalle spiagge. La vista sul mare è mozzafiato. Sicuramente un’esperienza da ripetere
