Overview
16 sleeps, beautifully tended garden, well furnished, pool open all year round
Villa Alemà is a spacious villa with private pool and garden located on the south-eastern flanks of Mount Etna just a few minutes outside the towns of Aci S. Antonio and Acireale. The villa has high ceilings and smooth lava stone features. The garden is beautifully tended, with a perfect lawn and shaded areas, including a gazebo. The pool is 16 x 10 meters and up to 2.90 meters deep. Indoor and outdoor living areas combine seamlessly. The villa is perfectly located to explore the Eastern side of Sicily, but you will also be well content to relax in the stunning surroundings of the villa, the garden and the pool.
The villa consists of two floors and a dépendance.
From the main entrance you access the living room that once was a ‘palmento’, an antique olive crusher. The living room opens onto a covered patio area, perfect for dining during hot summer days. The ground floor has a spacious kitchen, a room with a pool table, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The 1st floor has a bathroom, 3 bedrooms with air conditioning and a terrace with a wide view on Mount Etna. In the garden is a renovated dependence with air conditioning, 3 sleeps and a bathroom.
Villa Alemà is also suitable for a winter stay thanks to the heating system and a gas heater in the palmento.
Internet connection available!

Guestbook comments from the manager
We were absolutely delighted by the Villa Alema. It is furnished to a high standard and is much bigger than the photo's suggest. The pool is fantastic - we spent many hours in and around the pool. The keyholder was helpful and cheerful. Would we recomend Villa Alema - 100% yes! We had a wonderful holiday!

Had a lovely family holiday
The villa was nice and also the amenities
A large comfortable property, good location, views of Etna and a large pool
We stayed here during August 2017 and had a fabulous time. The villa has a lovely garden with a BBQ area and a large pool which is a must in the middle of the summer. The villa is large, comfortable and well equipped - perfect for a large family group (there were 11 of us). You do need a car as it is quite remote but the nearest supermarket is only a 5 minute drive. We were met by Massimo and the translators, Chiara and Giada who couldn't have been more helpful. They organised a meal which was cooked for us by their chef in our kitchen which was excellent.
Catania is a short drive away and I would recommend a trip up Mount Etna. Stunning views. We will definitely be going back at some point in the future.
Lovely, spacious villa
A group of 9 adults, we really enjoyed our stay at Villa Alemà. The villa is well-equipped and has plenty of room. We especially enjoyed the large pool and pretty garden area, which has a lovely view of Mount Etna, and is great for evening meals. Acireale is a short drive away, and the villa is well-located to explore the East coast, with Catania (<30 mins) and Taormina (<40 mins). Thanks to Giada and Massimo, who were very welcoming, helpful and responsive, and provided useful tips of places to visit. We had a fun holiday and would definitely recommend this villa!
Lovely Villa. Would recommend. Would stay again.
Excellent villa, beautiful grounds, fantastic pool, brilliant BBQ set up.
Quirky and interesting building. Plenty of space, lots of different places for different people to sit to get away from group (inside, outside under-cover or not).
Great view of Etna from (one of the) balcony (ies).
Kids loved the wi fi.
Everyone enjoyed the pool table.
Owner was very helpful.
It was difficult to find first time, and we were late by the time we found it, but it was not an issue.
On the downside there weren't really enough wine or water glasses for 10 of us, and the beds were merely satisfactory. We didn't discover anything within walking distance worth walking to.
Pistachio ice cream and brioche bun recommeded!
fantastique semaine en Sicile...
Très belle propriété, très spacieuse - magnifique jardin et piscine. Très bien située pour visiter l'ouest de la Sicile. Très bons conseils de Giuda et de Massimo. Mille grazie di tutto!
Beautiful property and gardens
This is a beautiful well maintained property in a lovely location. We were a family of 7 adults and 2 children. The house had ample room. The view of Etna from the garden is spectacular. The pool was clean and well kept - I read in some reviews that there were tiles missing in the pool - maybe 5 mosaic tiles were missing.
The kitchen is huge and well appointed. There's plenty of seating for a large family to eat.
The place is quite hard to find with GPS, so follow the instructions they give you. After having difficulties finding it the first time, it was easy to get to. There's nothing within walking distance from the house. But the are plenty of nice restaurants and super markets within 10 minutes drive.
Overall we loved our stay and would highly recommend this Villa.
Map
Villa Alemà is an excellent base from which to explore eastern Sicily. The villa lies almost halfway between Catania and Taormina and just five kilometres from Acireale (a pretty little city, built on a plateau of lava, that is known for its Baroque churches). Gardini Naxos, a seaside resort with a sandy beach, is just 35 kilometres away. Just a little further you'll find Taormina ‘the pearl of the Mediterranean’ and the most exclusive seaside resorts in Sicily. Its ancient Greek theatre is world famous for its extraordinary panoramic view. Santa Maria la Scala, AciTrezza, and Santa Tecla are pleasant seaside villages near Villa Alemà where you can find delicious granite and very good restaurants.
The 18 hole Golf course Il Picciolo is an easy drive (45 minutes).
