About this property

Villa Alemà is a spacious villa with private pool and garden located on the south-eastern flanks of Mount Etna just a few minutes outside the towns of Aci S. Antonio and Acireale. The villa has high ceilings and smooth lava stone features. The garden is beautifully tended, with a perfect lawn and shaded areas, including a gazebo. Indoor and outdoor living areas combine seamlessly.

The villa consists of a main building on two floors and an annex:
- from the main entrance you access the living room that once was a ‘palmento’, an antique olive crusher. The living room opens onto a covered patio area, perfect for dining during hot summer days. The ground floor has a spacious kitchen, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The 1st floor has a bathroom, 3 bedrooms with air conditioning, and a terrace with a wide view on Mount Etna.
- the annex is provided with air conditioning and has a double bed and a bathroom.

Groups of 6 persons and less benefit from a discounted price without the use of the annexe.

Villa Alemà is ideal for families and friends who wish to explore the Eastern side of Sicily and relax in a huge garden with private pool. Thanks to the heating system and a gas heater in the palmento, the villa is also suitable for a winter stay.

The pool is 16 x 10 meters and up to 2.90 meters deep.

We had an amazing time in Sicily. We came with our four kids and they loved the space and huge pool. Myself and my partner loved waking up to the amazing views of Mt. Etna each morning and we had an absolutely fantastic week. We had read previous reviews and yes - some of the pieces were slightly rough around the edges but bearing in mind the sheer size of the place it would be hard not to find something! Nothing detracted from our stay and we really loved every minute. The villa is in a smaller town which isn't particuarly touristy - we loved this aspect. we were warmly welcomed everywhere we went and it was just a brilliant stay. Thanks again!

Good not great

We stayed in the villa with a group of 13 and had plenty of space - one room is a room of 3, others were all doubles. Two bedrooms downstairs did not have air conditioning and we did ask the owner to bring more fans but it would have been better to have AC in all bedrooms. Bathrooms and particularly the showers are extremely small considering the amount of space, would be nice to have bigger showers. We ended up using the outdoor cold shower mostly. Kitchen was nice and big and had 2 fridges but we had a few power cuts since we visited during the heatwave in July so the fridge didn't stay cold all the time. There was also a leak under the sink which needs fixing. Dishwasher was useful, and kitchen was well equipped with crockery and cookware, but we did have to purchase essentials like things for cleaning, tea towels, and cooking essentials like oil and spices. The pool and outside area was great with a big BBQ area and table tennis. The pool is quite deep on one end and a quite a lot of chopped tiles on the bottom so be careful with small children. Also there were no pool towels provided so be sure to bring your own or prepare to buy some. We had hired cars which made getting around the island much easier. There's not a lot within walking distance so cars are recommended. Nearest supermarket was 5-10 mins drive away.

La maison est grande, agréable, au calme et proche des accès autoroutiers. L'accueil est sympathique. Massimo et Gratzelia étaient disponibles pour répondre à nos besoins. La vaisselle disponible ne correspond pas à la capacité de la maison. Les douches ne sont pas très fonctionnelles. Le billard annoncé à été remplacé par une table de ping pong.

Nous avons passé une semaine dans la maison, nous avons été très bien accueilli, la maison est spacieuse, nous étions 4 couples avec des enfants et pas de problèmes de places. La piscine est immense et très agréable. La maison est située au pied de l’Etna et proche de Catania et Taormina, une position idéale pour visiter les environs. Un petit bémol sur les salle de bain qui sont simples avec de petites douches.

Review for stay from 30 July 2022 to 06 August 2022

We were 12 friends staying in the villa for a week and had a great stay. The villa is really spacious and the pool is huge! There’s lots of outdoor and indoor spaces to hang out and relax, and sunset views of mount etna from the Terrance were a treat every night. Even in late July the garden is lush and there were lots of places to keep cool in the shade. 2 of the bedrooms are without air conditioning but have fans. The kitchen is big and we cooked meals for 12 most nights comfortably, including big bbq area outside. The supermarket is a short drive away. We had one car between 12 people for supermarket trips, and used taxis which can be organised through the host to explore more of Sicily. The host organised an beautiful day trip on a boat for us, including lunch, drinks, cave swimming and also dolphins! Overall a great stay and we would return again
