Mount Etna : locations de vacances au pied des pistes

Situata in un luogo tranquillo, circondato da boschi, immediatamente accessibile dalla strada principale che non rappresenta affatto un disturbo dato il saltuario passaggio delle automobili, la casa presenta ampi e generosi spazi sia interni che esterni, ideale per ritiri di ogni tipo. Dario si è rivelato un host discreto ma presente all’occorrenza, pronto a rispondere nell’immediato alle nostre richieste. Ci ha concesso di eseguire il check in con largo anticipo e l’abbiamo apprezzato davvero tanto dato il maltempo, la stanchezza ed il nostro arrivo di primo mattino. Disponibile a dare consigli escursionistici di ogni tipo, anche da seguire in autonomia, la prossima volta lo ingaggeremo sicuramente come guida esperta alla scoperta delle meraviglie del posto! Grazie Dario, ritorneremo!

Een prachtige, rustige locatie. De communicaite ging zeer vriendelijk en sociaal! Het is geweldig om wakker met uitzicht over prachtige cactussen.

(English translation below) Monica e suo marito Salvatore sono stati dei padroni di casa fantastici, estremamente disponibili e disponibili. Ci hanno dato un caloroso benvenuto (e ci hanno persino regalato dei dolci tipici di una panetteria locale) e sono stati molto flessibili con il check-in e il check-out. Mia moglie ed io siamo stati da loro solo una notte, ma avremmo voluto fermarci più a lungo per diversi motivi: innanzitutto per la posizione estremamente bella e tranquilla, immersa in una natura meravigliosa. La casa è circondata da un frutteto con meli, peri e susini (e altri alberi da frutto), così abbiamo potuto gustare dell'ottima frutta, perfettamente matura, appena colta. Il nostro soggiorno è stato molto piacevole. Lo chalet dispone di tutti i servizi per un soggiorno confortevole, tra cui un patio esterno con vista sul frutteto, un soppalco con letti comodi e una cucina ben attrezzata. Un altro vantaggio è che lo chalet è abbastanza in alto (circa 1300 metri sul livello del mare), quindi la temperatura era incantevole nonostante il caldo dell'estate siciliana. Questo è il luogo ideale da cui partire per esplorare lo splendido Monte Etna e le città vicine. Monica and her husband Salvatore have been great hosts, extremely helpful and available. They gave is a warm welcome (and even treated us with typical sweets from a local bakery) and were very flexible with the check-in and check-out. My wife and I only stayed at their place for one night, but we wished we could have stayed longer for several reasons: first of all, because of the extremely beautiful and peaceful location, surrounded by beautiful nature. The house is surrounded by an orchard with apple, pear and plum trees (and more), so we were able to enjoy perfectly ripe, organically grown fruits straight from the trees. Our stay was very pleasant as the chalet has all the right amenities for a comfortable stay, including an outdoor patio overlooking the orchard, a mezzanine with comfortable beds, and a well-equipped kitchen. Another advantage is that the chalet is quite high up (around 1300 meters above sea level), so the temperature was lovely in spite of the heat of the Sicilian summer. This is the ideal spot from which to explore the gorgeous Mt. Etna and the neighbouring towns.

"La casa di Giulia" was the perfect getaway for us. Laura is an amazing host, she did everything she could (and beyond) to accommodate our needs. The house itself is super cozy and equipped with anything you can wish for. It's only a 2 mins walk away from the sea and located in a small authentic Sicilian village. I can highly recommend this place for anyone who would like to enjoy Sicily away from tourist madness, experiencing the life of a local. The rooftop terrace is the cherry on top ;) Thank you again Laura for your kindness and hospitality!

We wish we could give more than 5 stars! Rosita and Alfio are the kindest, most thoughtful hosts . They truly went out of their way to make us feel welcome and right at home. From the moment we arrived, everything felt warm, easy, and full of heart. The space (and view) itself is absolutely stunning - even better than the photos! It’s peaceful and serene, yet super strategic in location: just about an hour to Catania, 45 minutes to Taormina, and 30 minutes to the northern side of Mt Etna. We made the mistake of only booking 3 nights - don’t do the same! You’ll want to stay longer, trust us. 110% recommend this gem of a place and the beautiful people who host it!💕

Wish we could have stayed for longer, a lovely apartment in a quiet location. Whilst approx a 20 min drive to Taormina, it's well situated for the local beach. Also, good location for etna tours, Alcantra Gorge, Taormina etc. Taormina itself was exceptional. Whilst up three flights of stairs, the wraparound balcony is worth it! Great host, responsive, friendly and has a lot of local recommendations.

Emilio es un anfitrión excepcional. Desde el primer día, nos atendió de manera muy amigable y, aunque no era su obligación, nos hizo el favor de transportarnos desde la estación de tren hasta la residencia. Durante nuestra estancia, estuvo siempre atento y resolvió cualquier necesidad que tuviéramos. Es una persona muy amable; incluso compartimos unas cervezas juntos. Mi pareja y yo pasamos un mes en este apartamento, el cual está completamente equipado con todo lo necesario. Lo recomiendo ampliamente. Un consejo para futuros huéspedes: es conveniente contar con un automóvil, ya que el sistema de transporte en Sicilia puede ser bastante complicado. La piscina estuvo disponible a partir de julio. En conclusión, lo recomiendo.

This flat is very modern! The bathroom, the kitchen and the whole flat are freshly renovated, it seems. Most modern furnishing we had on Sicily. The flat is very close to Etna, so perfect if you plan on spending a lot of time on the mountain. The garden is super well maintained and the pool is pretty cool. Sadly, we had some rainy days, so we did not use it. The neighborhood is interesting. It’s not posh, the whole area is not the poshest of Sicily. The flat is surrounded by other people, which are normal natives with dogs. This is to say: bring earplugs for sleeping, then you‘ll have a perfect time. The host is very nice! Helpful, responds quickly, absolutely nothing to complain there. We were two guests, the place can fit up to seven, but I think 2-4 is ideal. All things considered: I recommend this flat. Rent a car. Enjoy the Etna and the pool. Don’t come here for remoteness and solitude.

Elio and Katrina really are super hosts, but are even better than that. The accommodation was great and the location close to supermarkets and with good access to Etna and local seaside villages. The house had the most comfortable beds we have ever experienced and they have thought of everything to make it an home from home.. Access to Netflix and You Tube for Sky News was terrific. Elio was so kind and helpful to us on every subject, exceeding our expectations totally. We recommend Casa Clo without reservation and thank them most sincerely for all their kindness.
