On the ground floor, the shared garden features: A heated swimming pool (closed in winter), A relaxation area with large sun loungers and deck chairs, either in the sun or under the trees, A dining area for enjoying lunch or dinner by candlelight, A spacious living/dining room with sofas, a large TV, a refrigerator, a coffee machine, dining tables, and showers..

On holiday it is essential to feel safe, pampered and surrounded by every comfort. I want my guests to be sure to find everything they need in my home for an unforgettable, relaxing and regenerating stay, without worries. I will always be at your disposal for every need: whether it is to organise your excursions, book the best non-tourist restaurants where you can discover Sicilian gastronomic specialities, or visit the famous wine cellars of Etna for a tasting, I will be happy to give you suggestions and advice. I will make sure your experience in my home is unique and unforgettable. A stay that will remain in your heart... I look forward to welcoming my guests and making them enjoy a stay of comfort, beauty and discovery. Read the reviews of guests from all over the world to see how my commitment will make a difference: I am convinced that when the time comes to leave, you will be very sorry to leave this oasis of tranquillity, although you will know that you will always be welcome in the future.
The house is in a very strategic location, an ideal starting point for exploring the wonders of Sicily, just a few minutes' walk from the Giarre-Riposto railway station and only 3.5 km from the A18 motorway exit, making it easily accessible. Catania airport can be reached in just 40 minutes via the motorway. Situated in the most elegant and commercial street in the historic centre of Giarre, the house is surrounded by everything you need to make your stay comfortable and pleasant: supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants, pizzerias, wine bars, pubs and shops of all kinds are just a few steps away, and then the Port of Etna and the famous fish market of Riposto are only a 20-minute walk away. Despite being in the heart of the city, the area is quiet and safe, far from the hustle and bustle of the nearby city of Catania, which is nevertheless easily reachable in only 25 minutes by motorway. 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; the splendid Taormina, with its Greek Theatre and Isola Bella, are only a 25-minute drive away by motorway; Syracuse, with its Greek Theatre and Ortigia, can be reached in just over an hour; the hydrofoil for a visit to the wonderful Aeolian Islands is 75 minutes away. For lovers of art, history and nature, Noto and the Vendicari Nature Reserve are about 75 minutes away by car, via the motorway, while Agrigento and the Valley of the Temples are just over two hours away
