About this property

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.

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

Fantastic place with a very challanging access road - but as a reward, beautiful panorama of Etna and Giarre. Ernesto, which is the place owner greeted us with local food and warm hospitality. Strony recommend for family stay!

Ein schönes Haus mit einer sensationelle Aussicht bis zum Meer und zum Ätna. Sehr sauber, sehr freundliche Vermieterinnen und Ernesto, von dem man Schlüssel und eine umfangreiche Einweisung bekommt, ist einfach ein Schatz. Ein rundum gelungener Urlaub.

Abbiamo trascorso una settimana perfetta tra l'Etna e il mare in questo posto magico! Ernesto ci ha accolto come degli amici, offrendoci il vino delle sue vigne e consigliandoci al meglio su tutte le attività e i negozi della zona! Speriamo di poter tornare ancora presto e consigliamo questo angolo di autentico paradiso ad ogni viaggiatore!

The photos don't do it justice, this place is INCREDIBLE. The views are totally out of this world - Mount Etna on one side, and you look out over what feels like the whole of Sicily on the other. I watched the sun rise one morning and couldn't believe my eyes. Truly stunning. Ernesto is the sweetest man, he left us fresh bread, local cheeses, fruit, his own olive oil (the best we tasted), beer, his own white wine (delicious) and lots of goodies for when we arrives which was so kind. He so showed us the cherry trees in the orchard and said we could help ourselves which was a particular highlight for the kids. Before we went I told him my son really wanted to come to Italy and pick lemons, he'd harvested his lemon trees before our trip but saved some on one tree for my children, they were over the moon and I was so touched. The house is incredibly well kitted out, had everything we needed and totally beautiful, I felt like I was in a movie the whole time. Don't hesitate to book this place, we had the trip of a lifetime and made such special memories in this house. Thank you Ernesto for everything you did for us.
