About this property

Luxury Historic Villa near Taormina/Catania/Mount Etna by SicilianRelaxingHomes

This spacious house, recently renovated, is located on the first floor of an elegant historic building, on the main shopping street in the historic center, close to the main square. It also offers a convenient and highly appreciated private parking space in the building's inner courtyard, where an electric car charging station is available.
For groups of friends, you can book my homes in the building: “Luxury Panoramic Loft...” and “Delightful Luxury Home….”.
Our guests from all over the world always return with enthusiasm—read their reviews!
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..
All the rooms in the house, some with frescoed ceilings and a magnificent antique oak parquet floor, are bright, air-conditioned, and soundproofed.
The bedrooms feature extra-large beds, a TV, and extremely comfortable mattresses. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances and an extensive collection of elegant and functional tableware.
The house also includes:
Two spacious bathrooms with showers
A washing machine and dryer
A furnished terrace with a table, chairs, an umbrella, and a charcoal barbecue
Upon request, children's accessories are available, including a playpen, strollers, cribs, a small table with chairs, a high chair, a Stokke Tripp Trapp chair, and a baby bathtub.
Although the house is located in a peaceful and safe city neighborhood, for added security, surveillance cameras are installed in the building's external areas (but not in the garden, pool, or relaxation areas). Additionally, the house is equipped with an alarm system.
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..

Amazing rental!

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. Francesco and Francesca have put a lot of effort into this rental, and it shows. Check in was super easy, the place was conveniently located and accessible to different areas in Giarre and Catania. The place was spacious, gorgeous, and very clean. The queen and single beds had memory foam mattresses and were extremely comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking items for any family meals you want to eat on the patio or at the long dining table. Having the washing machine and dryer was a significant plus for us! Francesco was very kind and informative and readily available to answer any questions. He also had a ton of recommendations for restaurants, cafés, nearby amenities (like groceries), and things to do. He is quite a lovely host and it was a pleasure to stay at this rental. The two full bathrooms are in their own area of the apartment so there are no ensuites, if that's what people are looking for. The apartment is so cool and so spacious! The pool and lounge area are beautiful. There is private parking in the courtyard. Although the apartment is only accessible by stairs, this was not a problem for us. This place was absolutely amazing and would definitely stay again. Thank you again to Francesco and Francesca, we really enjoyed our stay!

Amazing property and hosts

This is an amazing property. It is a beautiful palazzo that has been modernised in a stunning way. The photos do not do it justice at all. No detail has been spared - from floors to ceiling art. The furniture is lovely. There is beautiful art on every wall. The quality of the beds, linen and crockery is all superb. The kitchen is brand new. The proportions of the rooms are vast. The hosts were the most helpful we have had - there to help with arrival, offering goodies and assistance and many recommendations, and always accommodating. There is also an outside area with a shared common space and pool shared between 3 apartments. It is very tastefully done and a lovely area in which to relax. This is the most comfortable and well appointed property that we have ever rented. It was also spotlessly clean.
