About this property

A charming country house built in the late nineteenth century, surrounded by lemon trees: enchanted place where you can enjoy the breathtaking panorama suspended between the sea and the volcano.
Located in the ancient wine cellar, this warm and welcoming house, has been furnished recovering and rearranging furniture and objects typical of the country tradition.
The accommodation consists of an open space of about 70 square meters with a large living area, a well-equipped kitchenette, a mezzanine with double bed, a bathroom with shower and a dressing room.
Outside, a large patio Aeolian style overlooking the Ionian Sea, is the ideal place to spend endless hours of relaxation comforted by the scents of the nearby citrus grove and the muffled sounds of the surrounding countryside.
The owners, who live in the adjacent house, are available to support you during your stay with cooking classes, breakfast basket and jeep tours to discover the most fascinating and least known places of the island.
The property is for rent within the meaning of Italian Law n. 438/1998.

Nice, creative Place on Eastside of Sicily

Thank you Luigi for a nice week in your very charming old, creativ and functional house. He was allways there for questions. The place was overall very clean and especially the terase a highlight (inkl. wifi, outdoor shower). We recived friendly and good advised for restaurats in the area and our visit of the area Etna South, trips to the citys on the north and south. We felt, that the house was prepared with a very hugh attention to details! Noteworthy is the not concreted way to the house, which also with a little (not 4x4) car was possible by driving very carefully. Also during our stay in the end of july there was every evening partytime and loud sound from a event location near the house. This didn't interroupt our sleep, but could other people.. We recommend this beautiful house to people who want to discover the East-Side of Sicily, the Etna and how would not feel disturbed about the fact that the owner lives next house nearly. Grazie Luigi!

Traumhaft

Das Haus , die Lage, der Garten, alles ist wirklich wunderschön. Luigi, der in unmittelbarerer Nähe wohnt, ist jederzeit ansprechbar und sehr hilfsbereit und nett. Man kann diverse Ausflüge sowohl zum Ätna als auch problemlos in einige wunderschöne Städte machen. Supermärkte und Restaurants sind in der Nähe, gute Anbindung an Autobahn.
