Great stay for the New Year

This was a fantastic home in a small town outside Catania city centre. A prefect place to watch the New Year fireworks (from the close by church) and have a NY dip in the pool! Perfect location to get to Etna (35 min drive) and other close towns - Taormina, Syracuse, Noto, Catania. The house is in a small village with an excellent bakery across the main gate, great fresh fruit and fish shops, and fabulous restaurants - highly recommend San Anton. Carmelo is a very nice host and helpful when we asked about local info. Our family of 8 - 6 adults and 2 kids - had more than enough room.

Beautiful property-great location!

The Villa built in the 1700s gave us a realistic feel of Sicilian living. Literally 5 minute walk to the grocery store. Fantastic fresh fish restaurant across the street and many restaurants to choose from within walking distance. Fresh fruit and vegetable markets, bakeries and so many friendly Italians in the village. Camelo and Alessandra live close by and respond quickly to questions or needs. We were sad to leave after 17 nights. We did have drivers to take us to the historical sites and to the sea. The description of the Villa is accurate!

Delightful property

We really enjoyed staying at the villa. The pool and gardens are wonderful and, as indicated in another review, the house interior is nicer than the photos suggest. Good location for exploring Mount Etna (Would highly recommend Etna Est tours), Siracusa, Taormina and more... Great local shops especially the bakery across the road and the fishmonger and vegetable shops. Good restaurants within walking distance. San Anton restaurant a particular highlight.

Authentic Sicilian Experience

Carmelo’s place is a dream! Elegant, rustic, authentic and comfortable for us. Trecastagni is such a charming village and getting to interact with the local community was a great pleasure. The community has everything you need. We were literally the only tourists in town. The community was so welcoming! Digustibus market, the bakery right at our door and the restaurants in town were all fantastic. The main town square is only a 650 foot walk. Carmelo arranged a wonderful transportation company that took us to the airport and to Catania. Catania and Taormina are a lovely drive away. We rented a car for 3 days and had no problem with parking (rent from Saitta Autonoleggi, they are excellent and next to it is a big market). Make sure to keep house keys with you at all times as the doors lock when you exit the house and property. We were tired the first night and locked ourselves out but Carmelo was available by simply pushing the intercom button outside the front gate. I could go on about how much we loved the home forever. The pool is fabulous! We felt everything from the property to the home to Trecastagni was better than the pictures and what was described.

Great villa and pool near Etna

We had a fantastic stay at Carmelo’s house. The pool and outside space is fabulous with a great view of Mount Etna (just as good as the photos on the website). Our kids loved it. The house is spacious for a family of five and is clean and well equipped. Trecastagni is a great location. Plenty of good restaurants, food shops and an excellent traditional bar/cafe (Bar Sport - you can get great arancini, granita and ice cream there). Etna and Catania are close by, and Taormina and Siracusa also within easy reach. Carmelo was really helpful and responsive. Highly recommended!
