About this property

Unique Apartment with Panoramic Terrace and Hammam

50 m2 of waterfront terrace, breathtaking views, direct access to the sea, walking distance to restaurants and shops and, finally, a huge hammam-style bathroom with whirlpool.

This is Terrazza Reale, an eclectic two-bedrooms apartment located in a waterfront villa Acitrezza, one of the most vibrant and picturesque fisherman's villages of the East coast of Sicily, just outside Catania.

If you are looking to enjoy the Mediterranean sea breeze and the Sicilian delicacies at any hours, Terrazza Reale is tailored for you.

Wifi, air-conditioning, dishwasher and washing machine will help you feeling at home.

Acitrezza is known for its picturesque bay characterised by Faraglioni, namely spikes of lava rock that rise from the clear Mediterranean water and which origin intertwines with the legend of the Cyclops.

---

Terrazza Reale is an apartment in villa with garden that has a direct access to the lava rocks by the sea. The garden and the access to the rocks are shared. The entrance to the apartment, the apartment and the stunning terrace are exclusively for you. You access from the garden and go up to the apartment with two flights of stairs. You can also access the villa directly on the first floor. In this way you need to go up only one flight of stairs.

At guests' disposal: two bicycles (one for men and one for women), two kayaks and a small rowing inflatable boat.

The following might be to be paid extra: Parking, Tourist tax.

Wonderful house and location! We loved it here. The house has a lot of beautiful furniture, as well as an open terrace with a great view. The host Franco was so very kind, gave us many recommendations on local beaches and cafes

A beautiful apartment on the sea. Very clean with comfortable furniture. The terrace was magical from watching the sunrise, the fishing boats, relaxing, reading in the sunshine to watching the stars at night. The village, a short walk away has plenty of good restaurants to choose from or to just relax with a cocktail. A perfect base to go off to explore Taormina, Etna, Ortigia & Villa Romana di Casale!! The wonderful owner Franco leaves you very clear instructions on places to visit, restaurants in the area, information on the apartment & recycling all very helpful. We had a Jeep rental, which we kept outside of the apartment parking, (a smaller car was suggested) a bit of a squeeze but no problem at all. Franco is a great host! We would highly recommend.

Es un segundo piso con una buena ubicación para visitar toda la costa de Catania. Franco, el anfitrión, vive en el primero y es una persona muy amable y atenta. El piso es amplio, temperatura agradable y camas muy cómodas. El balcón y las vistas lo mejor. Tiene una zona para aparcar muy necesaria. En definitiva buena opción para visitar Sicilia. Muy recomendable

Notre séjour pendant les vacances de Noël a été en tout point parfait. La vue est exceptionnelle et le logement très confortable, conforme aux photos. Notre hôte Marco a été adorable et nous a été, tout au long du séjour, d'une précieuse aide pour tous ses conseils, sa bienveillance et sa gentillesse. Le logement est parfaitement, idéalement situé pour la visite de très beaux villages aux alentours incontournables mais aussi l'ETNA avec un guide qu'il ne faut pas louper ! Hâte de pouvoir revenir en Sicile ????

appartement dans résidence de deux étages avec une vue mer à 180 ° : époustouflante ! superbe terrasse ; se situe à 20 minutes du centre de Catane; l'intérieur est meublé correctement, la salle de bain est immense avec douche et baignoire: le peu de débit d'eau nous a obligé à démonter et nettoyer le pommeau de douche ); la climatisation des chambres est silencieuse mais elles donnent sur la rue qui est très passagère et très bruyante même la nuit. Le tri des déchets est assez strict en Sicile il faut en tenir compte. Il faut noter un plus, la flexibilité des heures d'arrivée: grande souplesse et facilité d'accès. De plus grande réactivité de la personne responsable du logement : nous avons eu un problème avec la Wi-Fi le dimanche et dans la journée le boîtier a été changé . En résumé très bon séjour

Jo az apartman elhelyezkedése, szép a kilátás a tengerre. Nagy terasz. Berendezés kissé megkopott, fürdőszoba ajtó nyikorog, kis olajozás nem ártana. Víznyomás erősen ingadozik, melegvíz esetenként kifogy, hol hideg hol forró. Zuhanyfej cserélendő. Légkondi távirányitó elemei kimerültek. Két fotel nyikorog. Szemét kezelése nem egyértelmű. Házigazda kedves, segítőkész.

Superb apartment. Very clean and tidy with a traditional Italian theme internally The apartment is in a great location. The local supermarket is 400 yards away and there’s a great selection of cafes and restaurants in the harbour which is only a 5 minutes walking distance away. Giulia is a very welcoming and hospitable host who provided lots of help and advice. Our flight landed at midday and although we knew the check in time was mid afternoon the apartment was made available on our arrival Views from the Balcony are exceptional and the terrace is well equipped with a good selection of sun lounges, table and chill out seating area. Love the area and will definitely return.

Loved this apartment. The owner and host was incredibly helpful and kind. We loved the terrace, the antique decor and the shower. We found the beds super comfortable. We would definitely recommend. We chose not to hire a car however we would recommend if you are wanting to explore regularly beyond the local village.

Absolutely stunning rental. We had a marvelous first time in Sicily. The apartment has two king size beds ( one can be made into two singles ) great bathroom, plenty of hot water and all the amenities needed. The views off the balcony are breathtaking. You will not meet a nicer gentleman than the owner ( who lives below the apartment ) Francesco. We arrived very late at night because of issues at the airport. He did not have any problem waiting up for us. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He went above and beyond, even bringing our jackets that we had left in the apartment to the airport for us. You will not be disappointed in this rental. We hope to return soon.

Hét 'unique selling point' van deze plek is het terras! De inrichting van de woning is dringend aan wat modernisering toe, net als het terrasmeubilair, maar de locatie is helemaal top. Heerlijk snorkelen voor de deur en plekken als Taormia, de Etna en Catania binnen beperkte afstand. Franco Puglisi is en bijzonder vriendelijke en behulpzame host!
