About this property

Cosy house with rustic charm, big garden and sublime view on the Etna and sea

Casa Rosa is a renovated farmhouse amidst a beautiful natural environment: 2 hectares of vineyards, cherry trees and a wooded valley ideal for your summer picnic. On one side you can admire the Mount Etna and on the other side the coast: a landscape of 150 km that stretches until Taormina, the coast of Calabria in the far north and the province of Syracuse in the south.

The ground floor has a living room with fireplace, sofa and dining table, kitchen, bathroom with toilet, bidet and shower, and a living room with double sofa-bed. In the attic there is a bedroom with large double bed, a terrace and a large bedroom with large double bed and two single beds. There is also a bathroom with toilet, bidet and shower. The garden is equipped with garden furniture including parasol and beach chairs, barbecue and various toys for children. The fireplace also supplies the central heating which makes Casa Rosa also suitable for a winter holiday. There is wifi internet.

Casa Rosa is an excellent base from which to explore eastern Sicily. The village lies halfway between Catania and Taormina and just 15 kilometres from Acireale (a pretty little city, built on a plateau of lava, that is known for its Baroque churches). Giardini Naxos, a seaside resort with a sandy beach, is just 25 km from Casa Rosa (15 minutes with the highway).

Casa Rosa is also an excellent base from which to explore Mount Etna and its surroundings.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE

Please note the price includes one set of linen and bathroom towels per person.
In the case of winter stays, the price includes an initial supply of wood for the fireplace.

Charmante maison rustique, propre et bien équipée pour 8 personnes. Comme déjà mentionné dans plusieurs commentaires, la vue est à couper le souffle avec la mer d’un côté et l’Etna de l’autre. Ernesto est un hôte extraordinaire, très attentionné et de très bon conseil.

Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit in dem Haus direkt am Hang vom Ätna. In die eine Richtung sieht man den rauchenden Vulkan und in die andere Richtung die wunderschöne Bucht von Catania! Das Haus war sehr schön und extrem ruhig gelegen. Wir wurden sogar mit etwas Käse und anderen lokalen Leckereien begrüßt und haben uns gleich wohl gefühlt. Alle wichtigen Ausstattungen waren da, nur die Matratzen waren ziemlich hart. Aber wir kommen gerne wieder!

Wonderful!

The location was idyllic and the view stunning! Ernesto greeted us with olive oil, grapes from his vineyard, cheese, meats, bread, olives water and his delicious wine from his private stock. What a lovely eay to be introduced to the Etna area. Ernesto was very responsive to all our requests -a gracious host! Highly recommend!

Prachtige locatie! Zeer rustig en privé, omringt door wijngaarden en met uitzicht op de Etna en de zee echt een prachtige plek. Ontvangst en communicatie met Ernesto was top en we kregen allemaal goeie tips en leuke lokale producten van hem. De weg naar het huisje toe is niet de makkelijkste maar het is het allemaal waard. Een aanrader.

Het werd een spannende rit naar de locatie vanwege zware mist. Gelukkig werden we door onze gastheer Ernesto opgevangen en kwamen we veilig aan. We hebben een vriendelijk en warm welkom ervaren. Parkeerplek bij het huis is erg stijl en vraagt beslist goede stuurmanskunst. Locatie ligt op een idyllische, landelijke plek! Uitzicht op vulkaan Edna en aan de andere kant op de Ionische zee. Een prachtige plek om tot rust te komen en als uitvalsbasis te dienen om dit deel van Sicilië te verkennen. Sfeervolle woning met voldoende voorzieningen maar waar helaas de slaapbank en 1 tweepersoonsbed niet prettig liggen. Niet aan te raden voor mensen met rug Ons verblijf van een week eindigde met een aardschok vlak voor vertrek. Een week er voor was er een eruptie vd vulkaan Edna geweest. Dat was wel even schrikken. We hebben een geweldige week gehad. Het verlangen terug te komen is er zeker; alleen zijn betere matrassen voor ons dan wel van belang

Cette location est presque au pied de l'Etna visible depuis le jardin ainsi que la mer. Coin tout à fait paisible loin de l'agitation de la côte, des lieux fréquentés. Parfait pour se reposer, être au calme en famille, entre amis. Merci Ernesto des délicates attentions préparées à notre arrivée : huile d'olive, confiture, gâteaux, vin de sa production ! Et de nous avoir apporté le pain, les fraises, pour notre 1er repas sur place. Ernesto conseille parfaitement sur les visites à faire aux alentours : Etna, les villages, les sites remarquables. A suivre...
