Om overnatningsstedet

'CASA ARANCI' self catering villa, fantastisk havudsigt, tæt på piazza Duomo

Dette 3 værelses hus, der strækker sig over 3 etager, ligger i Piazza. Madonna Suffragio med storslået udsigt over både en smuk 400 år gammel kirke og Med-havet, er i gåafstand fra hjertet af Acireale, en 17 C-barok by spækket med smukke historiske bygninger. 'Casa Aranci', bygget for nylig og for nylig renoveret, bevarer nogle af sine originale funktioner og integrerer sig på pladsen.
Første sal er dedikeret udelukkende til et soveværelse med eget badeværelse, som også har en enkelt sovesofa til en tredje gæst.
Anden etage består af et dobbeltværelse og et enkeltværelse, der begge deler en 'omviklet' balkon i stil og et brusebad. Højdepunktet i 'Casa Aranci' skal være tredje sal, som er køkken og spisestue, der fører ud til en haveterrasse, der drager fordel af storslået udsigt over havet.
Alle værelser har aircondition, som også kan skifte til varme i de få kolde vinteraften mellem november og april. Catania, Taormina Mt Etna inden for en times kørsel.


Thermal Spa: Du kan drage fordel af Acireales Santa Venera Thermal Spa, hvor fortid, nutid og fremtid deltager i en speciel spa-oplevelse. I hjertet af byen Acireale kan du nyde naturlige termiske farver tættere på det sted, som romerne gjorde for over 2000 år siden.
Santa Venera Thermal Spa er en dagspa, hvor du kan bade i det varme, naturlige mineralrige vand og vælge mellem en række spa-behandlinger designet til at lette kroppen og berolige sindet.

Udflugter til Mt Etna: Etna-vulkanen, den største vulkan i Europa, tårnet over Catania, Siciliens næststørste by, har en af verdens længste dokumenterede optegnelser over historisk vulkanisme, der går tilbage til 1500 f.Kr. Historiske lavastrømme med basalt sammensætning dækker meget af overfladen af denne massive vulkan. Vulkanen, afkortet af flere små kalderer, blev konstrueret under den sene Pleistocene og Holocene over en ældre skjoldvulkan.
Hvis du er en vulkanamatør, kan du organisere en tur til toppen eller drage fordel af nogen med høj uddannelsesmæssig dygtighed inden for geologi og vulkanologi, der kan føre dig til nogle Etna-udflugter. Vi kan organisere for geologer og akkrediterede guider, der leder dig gennem livets udflugt.

Mario is a delightful and oh-so-helpful host for his beautiful space. He goes out of his way to help, and it makes the life of a traveler so much easier. The space itself is lovely, with the 3rd floor (kitchen and deck and sitting area) being the stand-out. We personally loved the bells chiming (6 a.m. - 10 p.m.). We were a group of 4, two single women and a couple, and the space gave us all both our privacy and our communal space. I cannot give a big enough shout-out to Mario---thank you SO MUCH!!

Our stay at Aranci 70

Before we arrived at the property, Mario provided extremely helpful information and was there to greet us on arrival. The villa provided everything we could ask for and Mario was always on hand to provide any help. It was a short stay but made all the better by our accommodation. The beds were comfy and the kitchen provided all the equipment we needed.

Beautiful stay at Acireale!

We stayed at Casa Aranci for 3 nights in late May, and we already miss it! Our host Mario is just wonderful. He was there from day 1 to help us become acquainted with this beautiful city as we were first-time visitors to the region. Casa Aranci itself was perfect for us, and its view of the Ionian Sea is breath-taking. So many thoughtful details throughout the place! We enjoyed walking to Piazza Duomo for dinner in the evenings and visiting the shops. We cannot wait to visit and stay at Casa Aranci again!

Wonderful stay and host!

We had a lovely stay this summer at Mario’s place. The house was very clean and comfortable, with an amazing view of the sea. We loved the balcony off kitchen, and the location of the house central to main square in town and the path down to the sea. The kitchen was well equipped and we were pleasantly surprised with the A/C in the bedrooms and kitchen area. Mario was a very thoughtful and responsive host, answering questions promptly about recommendations and logistics and providing us a few food items to get us started (milk, butter, coffee etc) and some local bakery treats. Acireale is well located to exploring Mt.Etna and vicinity.

It was wonderful. Mario contacted us well ahead with tips and information. The parking spot that comes with the house is great, there is no parking otherwise. Mario checked at 4am! whether our taxi came to bring us to the airport. He organized a chef and our family had great fun watching him cook and later eat the goodies. Mario stayed to help clean. There was fruit, water and cookies upon arrival and he brought some bakery during our stay. You couldn't ask for a better host.

Sea view, central location

Casa Aranci was a perfect fit for our family of five adults and Acireale was a good central location for trips to Mount Etna, Taormina, Siracusa and Catania. We loved relaxing on the third floor terrace with a beautiful view of the sea. Some of us thought the church bells were charming, others were annoyed but appreciated the earplugs. Mario is an excellent host and provided us with restaurant and sightseeing recommendations, plus parking tips. Acireale is a lovely town and the people are friendly, wished we had more time to spend there.

Thank you very much Barbara and family for your kind words, you really took excellent care of Casa Aranci and we very much appreciate that. Acireale is renowned by its many ‘700 century churches and its ancient tradition to tell the time and call parishioners to Mass that’s rooted in the town’s culture and it’s hard to fade even in modern times when there’s no need to tell us when to get up or go to church! I’m glad that you understood this and immersed in the town’s way of living in the Sicilian low pace style of going to the market, walk the Main Street or just seat in the piazza for an aperitive… but we’re happy that you visited lots of interesting places nearby but left some time to relax on our terrace. You all will be very welcome anytime in the future.

A stay in the real Sicily

This is a traditional property renovated to a good standard on the edge of the old town with great views and a fantastic wraparound terrace to sit out and relax. If you want a piece of the real Sicily then don’t hesitate to stay here. The basilica bells just add to your cultural experience and you can even hear mass and the priest sing! Mario is charming and very helpful, he has thought of everything you might need and there are some lovely little personal touches in the property. We managed to negotiate the streets of the old town and park right outside which was challenging but fun - cms to spare in places! Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Good base for a visit to Etna. Really enjoyed our stay here

Very pleasant time at Casa Aranci

We had a very pleasant time at Casa Aranci. The house exceeded our expectations. A spacious terrace with stunning sea views. And an additional terrace with stunning views of the active Mount Etna. We saw the lava flow. In addition, the housekeeper had made the house tiptop in order. The stay in the city suited us well. Shops and recommended restaurants nearby. Or just to eat an ice cream in the evening. The carnival provided a cheerful crowds. From Catania we visited Syracuse, Etna, Agrigento and Taormina. Syracuse and Agrigento fascinating to their excavations, the spectacular Etna with the extraordinary landscape and Taormina too touristy. In addition, we have been a few times to the beach. The water was lovely; the outward and especially return journey was heavy. We will definitely recommend Cas Aranci to anyone who wants to visit wonderful, friendly, somewhat chaotic but definitely delicious Sicily!

Best view and so comfortable!

We loved our stay in this apartment! It was our favorite during our three week journey through Europe. Mario was an amazing host, meeting us at the parking lot, helping make sure we were settled in comfortably. He even provided some initial grocery items like milk, fruit and sparkling wine! The apartment has three separate bedrooms with enough beds for our family of five. The AC was a lifesaver since we were visiting during a heat wave. We loved drinking our morning tea and evening wine on the balcony watching the locals move through the church square, listening to the church bells and watching the ocean and the trains go by. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to use. Acireale was a fun place to stay, we loved exploring the town and were lucky enough to be there during a day long dance performance from local dance schools in the Piazza. Mario's restaurant recommendations are good - make sure to try them! Mario also helped us arrange taxis and met us early in the morning of our departure to make sure we left for the train station on time. We'd come back in a heartbeat! Thank you for a lovely stay.

Fantastic place

Wonderful stay in Casa Arenci When we came the apartment was vey clean with fresh flowers on the table and grapes in the fridge. The rooms were nice an big.The beds were good. The kitchen and the roof terrasse was fantastic. We spend quite som time there, eating, reading, painting, relaxing and watching local life on the place in front of the church. Every morning we woke up to the wonderful sound of the church bells playing Ave Maria. The City was well equipped with a fish, meat and vegetable market with good food to a reasonable price. Several restaurants were very good and the coffee-shop next to the market made the most wonderful expresso machiato. The tourist office was an experience in itself. After several days of searching we found 5 persons in an office on the 1.st floor, behind a closed and locked door. I presume they were good in italian ..... Fortunately the owner of the apartment had send us good information an where to go and what to see. Casa Arenci was a very good base for seeing a little bit of Sicily

Thank you very much Henriette for your kind words towards the house, the area around and the way Paola, our representative keeps the house up to the highest standards of cleanliness. The tourist office experience must have been (a funny but) disappointing one and I will refer it to them, on the other hand I'm glad to know you found the information we sent you about the restaurants and cafes very useful. We'll be delighted to welcome you any time in the future, and we wish you all the best. Warm regards, Mario

Idyllic View

We were met by Paola late in the evening and we were very pleased to see her as we had got lost in the town. The house was very well equiped and very clean. The view from the terrace/balcony was very good.There are 3 flights of stairs to get to the dining/lounge but it is worth it to see the view. Anyone booking needs to take into account the avice of the owner regarding cars. The streets are very narrow and some 90 degree turns are required. So if you hire a car hire a small one. We had an Alfa about the size of a VW Golf which was alittle bit too big. We had no problems parking outside the house once we had found it. The BA flight arrives late in the evening so probably taking advantage of the car pick up from the airport would be advisable. We had a very pleasant and relaxing stay and would highly recommend this property. Thanks John

We enjoyed the wonderful view above the square with its church* onto the sea from inside and outside very much. * The bell ringer was very diligent whereas the trains and the road were fairly quiet. The pub is closeby but didn't bother during our stay -- however sensitive people could appreciate the eartips at hand. Salutatory Paola did a great Job for us: rooms, buyings, lemon and lovely flowers all around our casa -- everything was prepared for a pleasant welcome. Thank you so much Paola! Mario's tips in advance have been helpful too: that way e. g. we went on the lovely footpath 'Le Chiazette' down to Santa Maria la Scala, had a delicious dinner at Vecchia Aci trattoria, have been to Al Ficodindia as well and to Costarelli's for a tasty 'midmorning snack'. At 'The Mescan' pub we enjoyed various hamburgers amongst young people (with music and soccer on TV). Caffè Cipriani bar seems to be another good idea for a stop ... And all of them are nearby! The further hints for the preparation of our visit helped just as well. Everythink was right and highly appreciated, thanks a lot! Hopin' to come back soon for another time ingo & family

Fantastico!

My adult daughter and I stayed at Mario's place and it truly was a delightful place to stay! The home has three levels with the first one having a spacious entryway and a very large bedroom with additional couch which I also believe can be a bed, along with a full bathroom. The second floor has two bedrooms and full bathroom, which is where we stayed. It's very unique as it has one main entry door but two rooms within in it, each with a separate door and again, a full bathroom. The upper level is absolutely amazing! It has another bathroom with shower and a beautiful kitchen with a spectacular patio that wraps around one side of the home. The views of the sea, church, and sunrise are stunning! We utilized the patio every day, several times a day!! We did drive here from Siracusa, just have to be aware that the streets in Acireale are narrow but can be navigated by properly allowing enough room for tight turns. Mario does have a dedicated parking space out front to park your car which is where it stayed the remaining part of our stay until we left. We walked all around Acireale, and even the streets that are narrow without much sidewalk can be easily walked by being in the street and staying close to the parked cars. This is truly how the locals do it, even with kids! There are several farmer's stand and stores within a 10-15 walk. Mario left us some welcome and departing goodies which were awesome!! Highly recommend staying here!!

Thank you so much Stephanie and Danielle! You were the perfect guests, the house was left spotlessly clean when you checked out and the goodies you left in the fridge were very much appreciated. I want to thank you very much for being aware of the environment and using only just the spaces, towels and rooms you needed even if you had the whole house at your disposal. For your kind words I understand you were still very comfortable. We appreciate as well the description of the area, it does reflect the way of life in an old town with cultural and architectural differences. You adapted perfectly to our historical neighbourhood. We do hope to welcome you again in the future. Every season has its unique attractions and experiences. Thank you again, Mario

Fabulous Memories of Casa Aranci!

A beautiful quaint Italian property very near a Catholic Church (whose bells I am now missing)! The view from the top third floor is spectacular looking at the sea and you can do a bit of people watching as the locals go about their business. You also get the early morning sun which you can enjoy sitting on the balcony with your expresso! And in the evening just as stunning with your glass of prosecco or Italian red! There were five of us in the party staying here and we certainly had plenty of room. The town is 5 mins away - with plenty of restuarants and coffee shops. The owners of the property also left us taxi details and people to contact for excursions which we made the most of. We visited Taormina by by car and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves but I am so glad that we stayed in Acireale as I felt we were more in an Italian environment away from too many tourists. Every day we walked to Piazza del Duomo where there is the most incredible coffee shop with cakes, ice cream and assortment of Italian pastries. It is directly opposite the huge church. And every day it took us ages to actually chose what we wanted as we tried to taste everything. The staff were so friendly and patient! At night we always went somewhere different to eat - and believe me I would not be able to say which was the best restaurant! They were so good!!! There are also excellent walks by the sea and a lot to explore. I will definitely be returning to Casa Aranci as I think I have found my new 2nd home! Thank you to the owners of Casa Aranci and their family nearby who were always willing to help and give advice!

Thank you very much for your very kind words Denise! We're delighted that you found Acireale and its many Baroque churches (and bells) an enjoyable and interesting Sicilian experience. We thank you as well for the detailed comments about this small city and its restaurants and cafe's, specially Cafe' del Duomo where I imagine you must have tried every Sicilian speciality ! All those comments will definitely help future guests on their decision of a true cultural experience in Sicily. We're very glad you all enjoyed lounging on the terrace with a glass or cup of your favourite beverage! We'll be extremely happy to welcome you and your group of friends anytime to "Your 2nd home" Casa Aranci! Kind regards, Eamon

A truly Sicilian experience

We travelled as a family of five, one teen, two boys of 6 and 9, to Casa Aranci, in July 2012.. As I write this review, we are already planning our return trip with great anticipation. It was a truly Sicilian experience. We experience first hand the way the Sicillians live and eat, and just enjoy their time at the beautiful Piazza Duomo. The house itself is fantastic, spotless and ideal with plenty of space and we were not in each others way. We each had our own bedrooms which were more than spacious with a lovely bathroom en suite in the master bedroom. The view from the balcony and kitchen dining area is spectacular and we spent plenty time just enjoying this.. Everything was provided at Casa Aranci, the kitchen is fully equipped, with all cooking utensils provided. We found the owner Eamon very helpful in providing us with information about the surrounding areas and the town itself. The town centre is a 5 minute walk with great markets selling fresh fruit, vegetables and fish, plenty to cook- in with. Alternatively the restaurants are so family friendly, no problem with children so welcoming and at any time too. The Piazza provided a great area for our children to play every evening, have an ice cream and we could sit and watch the world go by. Shops open late for a browse here too.. We did hire a car which is a great help as the beaches in the locality are mainly swimming off the rocks, which we did plenty of, however we did travel to Giardini Naxos and Taormina on day trips also. The car was a great asset with the smaller kids too. Initially Church bells woke us daily however after maybe 3 mornings we were sleeping through.. A fabulous experience all round. Casa Aranci is stunning in itself with the most incredible view from the balcony, which must be seen to be believed.. Undoubtedly one of the best places we have stayed. I highly recommend a trip here.

Perfect Location - Perfect Paradise

Look no further. Choose this one. A real taste of authentic Sicily. Stayed here as a group of five friends – outstanding location close to all sights and amenities. Centrally located in the heart of the Piazza, panoramic views over a glistening sea. Spacious and airy bedrooms, with ensuites and roomy, hand-crafted wardrobes, functioning shuttered windows and balconies, overlooking magnificent church. You immediately feel you are in the hub of Sicilian life. The Townhouse is well appointed in a classical style with touches of modern décor. Very versatile, suits an entire family or group like ours or separate couples: The top floor has well-equipped and comfortable living and kitchen space, for family group dining. Handy adjacent bathroom. The magnificent central ocean view on a wide panoramic balcony is THE place to sit, sip and wonder in awe , morning or evening. Pure heaven. A short 5-10 minute walk to a very well stocked supermarket – fresh produce, reasonably priced, you can spend the week working through their cheese and wine, envying Sicilian lemons and everything else Italian. Also nearby picturesque Cathedral and Churches, welcoming coffee shops pastries, cakes and lunches. Excellent range restaurants – authentic Italian . Here also are the artisan shops, bakeries, smart retail, pharmacy etc. A walk down to the cliff to beautiful town of Santa Maria La Scala for sunning swimming and lunching and a welcome return bus. . We were also able to arrange a day out with a very comfortable taxi drop off and pick up to Taormina, which is not to be missed. Absolutely spectacular. We didn’t hire a car as we didn’t really need to. Maybe for longer visits. Used the taxis recommended. Hosts so helpful with arrangements and airport pickup. This is truly a very comfortable and well-appointed base to explore and enjoy. Well run and maintained with thought and care. Rooms/floors have individual locks and the solid front door is very secure. It felt very safe. The area felt safe. Plenty of hot water, spotlessly clean, as the accommodation is large. Plentiful fresh linens. large fridge, good washing machine/drying space, to minimise packing, extendable dining table, plenty of chairs. Spare beds for children and enough space to move around. Well loved and looked after accommodation. Even the plants looked perky. A great find. Recommend. A magical stay at Casa Aranci -

Wonderful house, location and host

We spent Christmas vacation at this perfectly located old town house, well renovated and tastefully furnished. Sun was out every day and allowed us to enjoy the view and street life below us in light clothes. Everything was ready for a family to cook our own food some days, where the restaurants were closed and we fully enjoyed the wealth of Sicilian vegetables, fruits and seafood - which can be bought super fresh from the nearby market. Eamon and Mario were extremely helpful and friendly - supplied us with a lot of useful information and hints for local experiences. Driving in the narrow streets can be nerve wrecking but parking at the nearby (pay) parking lot makes life more enjoyable and fully worth every cent. We hope to come back again - soon. Thanks

Thank you very much Stefan and family, Your review was a perfect description of your experience of a Sicilian town at Christmas time and your suggestion of the choice of the nearby parking lot at a fee of 30 cents an hour is an easy and stress less option that we will be suggesting to future clients instead of trying to negotiate the narrow streets around the center of town. We'll be delighted to welcome your family again anytime you decide to experience Sicily at different seasons of the year. Have a successful 2018, Kind regards, Eamon, Mario and Paola

Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt

The excellent view from its terrace will make you fall in love with it as it did to us from the minute we set foot in it... It was, and it still is, like seating in the deck of a cruise ship; from dawn to sunset!
