Eine wunderschöne gepflegte und stilvolle Familienvilla in traumhafter Hanglage mit Blick auf die Bucht zwischen Catania und Taormina. Besonders reizvolle Aussicht in der Dunkelheit, aber auch der Sonnenaufgang aus dem Meer ist einmalig. Man kann viele sehenswerte Orte in jeweils ca. einer Stunde erreichen, auch den Ätna, dessen Ausbruch wir von der Frühstücksterrasse aus ausgiebig beobachten konnten - spektakulär!!! Das Haus der ideale Ausgangspunkt für Tagestouren in die Umgebung, aber aufgrund der Ausstattung auch für Ruhetage zwischendurch bestens geeignet. Dann kann man den Duft der Orangenbäume bei offenen Fenstern den ganzen Tag genießen. Ausdrücklich erwähnen möchten wir auch noch die sehr sympathische Vermieterin. Also dann los und genießen !!!
Villa très confortable, spacieuse, au calme entourée d'un jardin fantastique.
La vue sur la mer est magnifique lorsque le soleil se lève.
Emplacement idéal permettant la découverte de l'Est de la Sicile.
Merci à notre hôte pour son accueil parfait.
It was a lovely visit. Big enough home for 4 adults (2 couples) and three kids. Incredible view of the sea and nicely located to go to Catania and Taormina.
Hemos estado encantados. Las fotos no hacen justicia a la casa. La propietaria encantadora y servicial. Nos hizo sentir como en casa y estuvo atenta a todo. Cogimos esta casa para ver el Etna, Taormina y Siracusa, Noto.. Esta bastante bien ubicada, nosotros preferimos la tranquilidad de la casa al bullicio de Catania. Lo recomiendo totalmente.
Het huis ligt prachtig op een helling in een boomgaard met uitzicht op zee. Het huis is ruim en goed voorzien van wat je nodig hebt. De kinderen hebben zich goed vermaakt rondom het huis. De ontvangst door de gastvrouw met warme arancini en heerlijke amandelkoekjes was erg fijn. Een aanrader!
Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour dans la maison d'Elvira, située idéalement sur les pentes de l'Etna, avec une vue époustouflante sur la côte. Le jardin aux essences méditerranéennes offrent un dépaysement garanti... Notre hôte nous a accueillis avec hospitalité et gentillesse. Une belle adresse
Wir haben die 2 Wochen in der Villa sehr genossen. Der Blick von der Terrasse ist einfach toll und wir vermissen es jetzt schon.
Die Gastgeberin ist sehr nett und war bemüht uns unsere Wünsche zu erfüllen. Sehr gerne wieder!!

Schöne gepflegte Villa am Hang des Ätna mit netter Vermieterin.
Villa liegt oberhalb von Riposto mitten in einem gepflegtem grossen Garten. Ein Auto ist Voraussetzung und ein Navi generell sehr empfehlenswert auf Sizilien. Die Fotos vom Haus sind aktuell und die Vermieterin sehr nett. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Très bon séjour, merveilleuse maison
Très belle maison avec appartement à l'étage. Vue panoramique superbe. Cadre champêtre. Décor de très bon goût, cuisine équipe avec vaisselle propre. Seul bémol, le manque de WiFi. Propriétaire très aimable.

très bien
Elvira et son mari sont très accueillants et serviables ; notamment en réglant les problèmes de connexion wi fi.
Maison confortable, lits aussi, très vaste, belle terrasse, environnement sympa (même si le GPS était parfois paumé devant tous ces chemins d'accès !!!!)

Casa dal panorama meraviglioso
Casa confortevole spaziosa e dotata di tutti i confort, proprietaria gentile ed ospitale, ottimo punto di partenza per escursioni e visite della parte nord est della Sicilia, a pochi Km dal mare ma facilmente raggiungibile in auto. Dalle foto del sito non si apprezza al meglio la vista panoramica che si gode dall'ampia terrazza. Grazie ancora alla Sig.ra Elvira per averci ospitato

Unas vistas impresionantes desde la ladera del Etna
Acabamos de volver de Sicilia tras estar alojados en la villa una semana. El alojamiento es en la planta superior de la villa, donde hay 3 habitaciones, dos cuartos de baño, un gran comedor, una cocina bien equipada, y dos terrazas, una de ellas, enorme y con unas vistas impresionantes sobre la costa oriental. Nos alojamos 10 personas, las camas son enormes y además tambien hay un sofá cama en el comedor. La casa es preciosa, con una extension de terreno que la rodea llena de árboles frutales (higueras, limoneros...), situada en un buen punto de partida para hacer excursiones (muy cerca de Taormina y del funivia del Etna). La Sra Elvira, propietaria de la villa, es un encanto, está superatenta a cualquier necesidad que tenga el huésped. Súper-recomendable el alojamiento en esta villa, volveríamos con los ojos cerrados!

ieal para grupo numeroso de amigos o familia
Es un oasis al que llegar despues de un día de excursiones,visitas o playa. La casa es enorme, acogedora y tranquila. Está rodeada de villas y huertas, pero cerca de núcleos urbanos donde encontrar de todo. Es ideal para un grupo como el nuestro formado por 8 adultos y 5 niños de12 a 15 años, pues cada cual ha encontrado su lugar para charlar, leer, jugar, tomar el sol, comer al aire libre,etc.
La propietaria, Elvira es muy amable y atenta....Han sido unas vacaciones INOLVIDABLES.

vacanza in Sicilia
La villa è situata a circa 300 mt di altitudine sul mare con splendida vista panoramica che spazia dal promontorio di Taormina fino a Risposto-Giarre,immersa in un bellissimo giardino ricco di ulivi,fichi d'india, limoni e piante di fiori.
La casa è di grandi dimensioni, ci siamo trovati perfettamente a nostro agio, eravamo in 10 ma può ospitare anche 14-15 persone. Ben attrezzata la cucina e confortevoli le camere. Ideale per un gruppo numerose di amici o più famiglie.
