We had a lovely stay at Riccardo’s place. The house was really clean and had everything we needed. The outside seating area was great and the nearby beach was really lovely. You do need a car if staying here as the nearest shops are a short drive away. We had great visits to Siracusa and Etna and we all also enjoyed visiting the Etnaland theme park and water park. Would recommend this accommodation for visiting this area.

Thank you so much for the review! I am delighted that you had a pleasant stay and that the house, outdoor spaces and beach made your holiday special. It's true, having a car helps you get around comfortably and discover the many beautiful sights in the surrounding area, as you did with Syracuse, Mount Etna and Etnaland. I am pleased to hear that you had such a varied and enjoyable experience. I hope to welcome you back again in the future!

Great spot!

A fantastic house, just a few steps from the beach, through it's own private gate! Perfectly set up for a family, the house is spacious with plenty of outdoor seating to catch the sun or shade. The location makes trips to Catania, Syracuse and Noto easy days out. With the sandy beach on the doorstep, I highly recommend this place!

Phantastic stay in Sicily

Great location between Catania and Syracusa - very spacious flat with very well equipped kitchen. Supermarkets and restaurants are nearby (ok, a car is definately needed) and it is a great flat to prepare for a lot of trips on the island. Apart from going to the South and East of the island the beach is great with not too many other people around - we will definately be back!!!

Super property close to fabulous beach

A very comfortable property with everything that we needed. It really is just a few minutes from a wonderful sandy, nearly empty beach with great views of Etna. Good for visiting anywhere in the East of Sicily, and a couple of great friendly restaurants just five minutes away in the car. Special thanks to Riccardo for waiting for us for several hours after our plane was diverted!

Great summer break

Our family of 4 enjoyed the stay at the property during mid July 2022. Riccardo was great host. Greeting us at the airport and helping us with the luggage. The property was well equipped with everything required and located very very close to the great beach (which was very quiet). Rental car is a must as there are no shops/restaurants within a walking distance. Overall great experience. Fully Recommended for people who want to enjoy a relaxing break.

Villa by the Beach

This villa was as listed with three bedrooms and two baths. The outside space had a nice mixture of sun and shade as well as lots of lounging, cooking, and eating space. The beach was a very short walk and was a really nice beach with clean sand and a nice stationary beach umbrella. While the bath towels were clean they were a bit threadbare. The pillows were also in poor shape. Overall, we loved this place! It was secluded, but not far from Catania which was lovely to walk through and see all the architect in churches, apartments and such. There were so many restaurants to choose from as well as gelato!!!

Nice stay. Thank you!

We had nice few days in the Riccardo's house. The hause was spacious, clean and very close to the sea. The beach was sandy and we were almost alone there. As the days were really hot, we missed the air condition very much as it iis nstalled only in one sleeping room what was not sufficient. Also the property is far from grocery shop what was disadvantage for our family. On the other side the distance to the airport was perfect. In general we were satisfied and had nice stay 😊

I am glad that you were able to enjoy the comforts of the house and that you were able to enjoy the beach which, being with private access, is always very quiet. I hope you can be my guests again if you return to visit south-eastern Sicily! See you soon Riccardo

Great location for visiting the Eastern Side of Sicily

Riccardo was great always replying within minutes to any communication. The accommodation is very clean and very well equipped. Parking was easy and the beach was lovely. We had a great week using Riccardos house as a base visiting Etna, Taormina, Catania, Syracusa and Ophigia as well as Noto and the Cave Grande. You do need a car as the property is not close to any shops or restaurants but as a base it was great. It was lovely sitting on the upstairs balcony and the outside downstairs was lovely for breakfast and lunch. It was great being only 25 minutes from Catania airport too with no noise from the airport. Thank you Riccardo for a lovely week.

Easy access to beach, responsive host

Comfortable house, well supplied. Quite large and nice for large group. Nice outdoor lights bing space adjacent to other houses. 22 minutes to airport offered perfect place to launch day trips to Enna, Morgantina and Piazza Armerina which strongly recommend. Ricardo was very responsive to issues brought about by a powerful storm. In the US there’s a very different electrical system and he patiently came out immediately to reset everything. There’s an amazing lake a few minutes walk away that is very near to the sea where I got stuck me amazing sunset fotos. This place is perfect for families who want easy access to the beach.

Thank you Leta for your wonderful review! I'm glad to hear that you had a good time at my home, despite the disruption caused by the bad weather. The location of the house is indeed strategic for day trips to the south-east of Sicily but also to Piazza Armerina in the centre of the island or to the north for an excursion to the Mount Etna. At the same time, the proximity of the beach, practically for the private use of the villagers, makes it a good place for a family holiday, even with children. A presto, Riccardo

Catania Beach rental

While the property is listed as a beach property, we selected the rental to be our base to explore the east coast of Sicily from Taormina down to Noto. From here these were easy day trips as there was close access to the autostrada, allowing us to avoid the Catania inner city which is almost constantly congested. Riccardo was there to meet us and parking is included and just outside the front door. The unit is located in a more isolated setting and grocery stores and gas stations are 10-15 minutes away so get your groceries on the way there. Riccardo was very accessible via text and phone. The unit is spacious and clean.
