Saracina
Splendid garden - Big pool - Warm, welcoming atmosphere
Acireale - East of Sicily
Overview
Located a few kilometres away from Catania and close to Acireale, Saracina is an amazing villa with private swimming pool. Recently renovated, this ancient country property is surrounded by a well-tended, lush garden with lawn. Its large terraces and swimming pool (18 x 5 m) are ideal outdoor living spots. Its cosy indoor spaces are equally lovely, they are spread over two floors and are equipped with washing machine, dishwasher, Wi-Fi, smart TV and air conditioning. On the ground floor are a large living/dining room with fireplace, a kitchen and a bathroom. The first floor includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms (one with shower, the other with tub and shower). Outside, in the garden area, there are a room with fireplace and barbecue, a laundry room and another bathroom with shower. Saracina enjoys a privileged position, close to the most beautiful places of East Sicily. Acireale and the seaside resorts of Aci Trezza and Aci Castello, Mount Etna and the villages on its slopes, are all a short distance drive away. Not far from Saracina are even Giardini Naxos, Taormina and the enchanting baroque cities of Catania and Syracuse.

We were lucky enough to secure a 5 night short notice break to Sicily and wanted somewhere that felt like at home, but without a long journey from the airport and with gardens in whic to relax. This villa was perfect! Exceeding our expectation, we enjoyed the comfort, the gardens, the various dining areas, and yet near enough to major routes to explore the island. The main bedroom, with its dividing door from the top landing felt like in a grand suite. Our son also enjoyed having his ownn space and we would love to return with both children next year, so that we can climb Etna! Until then we enjoyed much of superb wine from the beautiful region. A home whorty of a much longes holiday! Thank you. This has been just wonderful. Matt, Terri and Henry Lorrimore

What a lovely, lovely place. The house fantastic, stylish, well manteined and breathing such a wonderful atmosphere. The pool was, beside the necessary, optimal. Nothing would have been this great if it was not for Michele and wife, and of course our friend Gianluca. Thank you so much for taking care of us! Family Berendonk

New flowers opening each morning, lovely way to start the day. This trip was a dream, and this house was one of the best parts. Incredible place and environment and energy to all of it.
