Villa Etna Mare, you did not disappoint!What a fantastic place. The views are amazing, the villa is beautifully finished and the outdoor space is just brilliant. We absolutely loved our stay.A little tip – make a good shopping list before you go! There’s loads of fridge and freezer space, so you can stock up, and it’s quite a way back if you realise you’ve forgotten something.The supermarkets sell really good fresh pizza dough too, which made pizza nights at the villa really easy.Michael was a fabulous host and his communication from start to finish was faultless. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was really straightforward.We had a brilliant time and would definitely recommend Villa Etna Mare.

The most amazing view in Sicily

Amazing house is an absolutely breathtaking location with views that are priceless! Michael is an extremely responsive and proactive host who gave us great recommendations for touring Mt Edna and restaurants by the beach!! The views are very much worth the windy drive up and time lounging by the pool! I would not hesitate to stay there again.

An amazing relaxing villa

We loved our stay at Villa Etna Mare. The setting is amazing with the most wonderful views of Mount Etna and the coast. The villa is very well equipped with a great outdoor cooking area. The drive up to the villa is quite a drive! but the instructions from Michael meant that you knew exactly where you were and therefore didn't miss any turnings! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it. Michael, the host,was very helpful with any questions we had too about the local area.

Great holiday

We’re just home from a fabulous 2 week break at Villa Etna Mare. Michael was a superb host, always on hand and super responsive to our many questions to provide valuable advice to ensure we maximised our holiday. The final stretch of road to the villa is in poor condition and did put us off going out in the evenings. However given the views and tranquility from the villa we were more than happy to stock up on provisions, dine in and enjoy the vista.

Spectacular views and a great villa

The views from the villa are truly spectacular! The villa has everything you could possibly ask for. Michael is an amazing host and very attentive. We would definitely recommend the “meet and greet” especially if arriving after dark as the road takes a little familiarisation. However the view from the villa is worth journey up. The pool was very welcome and pizza oven was great fun. We would recommend this villa to anyone, it’s a wonderful escape from everyday living. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Absolutely Sublime!

We cannot express enough how much we enjoyed our stay at Villa Etna Mare. The accommodation is in an unbelievable spot. The views are just extraordinary. The bedrooms are comfortable. The kitchen has everything one could want. The outside area — not only the pool and chairs but also the patio / terrace dining room area are ideal for enjoying the relaxed holiday experience. The owners are exceptional in looking after the villa and its guests. We first stayed in the villa over a decade ago and this was our reprise. For sure; we won’t let it go so long between our stays this time. Indeed, we will be back! What can we say but we highly, highly recommend Villa Etna Mare. Absolutely Sublime!

casa etna mare

We spent very pleasant vacation in Casa Etna Mare. The view on the Etna and the swimming pool were excellent. Michael is a very nice and reactive host, always ready with advice. The only regret we have is the access road to the villa : 82 slopes and very bad road at the end. This made it impossible to go out by night. You really nead to have a good car and not a too low one. Should be mentionned more clearly in the advert.

Hi Sandra, thank you for your feedback, it was a pleasure to host you and your family. We are sorry to hear that the road was such challenge, we have tried to describe the road as good as we can in the villa info, to avoid any such surprises. Let me provide a few additional facts about the road. It has 23 turns, with 10 of them being hairpin turns, not 82 as mentioned by you. It is correct that a low sportscar should not be driven to the villa, but any other car is fine (our cleaning lady drive a small Fiat 500). Again, thank you for your feedback. Regards, Michael

Our best stay yet.

Having just returned from our third stay in Villa Etna Mare, I can confirm that no matter how many times you ascend the hill to the villa it will never become less awe-inspiring. It is a truly unique outlook that will take your breath away upon arrival. Villa Etna Mare provides absolutely everything you need as a comfortable base to explore Eastern Sicily but it’s so good, and in such a great position, that you could simply lounge away multiple days enjoying the scenery. Everything you could need is present within the villa and all of a great standard; a rustic Sicilian feel with an incredibly well-appointed outside space to wile away the hours. Michael and Marianne are outstanding hosts, with a great knowledge of the area that they are more than happy to share with guests. The pre-trip information received via email, and correspondence throughout is incredibly helpful allowing people to build the perfect trip to Sicily. We will undoubtedly be back for a fourth time soon!

Lovely villa with breathtaking views

Villa Etna Mare We had a wonderful holiday in Villa Etna Mare. This truly is a magical place to stay. The views are even more spectacular than the pictures show: We literally spent days just gazing at the sea, Mount Etna, the villages below etc. We all - especially our children (9 and 14) - also enjoyed the pool immensely! Homemade pizza from the pizza oven and local produce cooked on the bbq - what a treat 😊 Dan was a very attentive host - texted us regularly to make sure everything was fine. The meet and greet was a nice help. The drive up to the villa was very exciting the first couple of times! Later on, we also did it at night after trips to Taormina - no problem. Most days, however, we just hung out at the villa. We normally go on a lot of day trips, but not this time 😊

On Top Of The World

Great view...Mediterranean Sea all day long and Etna too. What a great property to just lay back and relax and take it all in. The property is exactly as advertised. The bedrooms stayed cool with each one having its own air conditioning unit. There is a constant breeze all day long which blows through the house keeping it relatively comfortable. The pool toys provided were a nice bonus for the children. We enjoyed our days lounging by the pool and evenings out wining and dining in the local towns nearby (Castelmola, Taormina, and Giardini Naxos). We slipped away for a day trip to the white beaches just south of Syracusa (~1.45 hrs) and also an overnight stay in Cefalu (amazing town and water). This house was simple and comfortable with a beautiful evening/night view of the sea and lights below through a large oversized glass window sliding door. The owner made it really easy to live in the home by providing just about every useful kitchen utensil you can think of. The washing machine works great as does the dishwasher. The extra refrigerator space was nice too. If given an opportunity, we would definitely stay here again.

Spectacular views and comfortable villa

The views from the villa were spectacular. The pool and gardens were lovely. The house itself was comfortable and appropriately equipped. However, you should note that the road to the villa is difficult to navigate - it's very narrow, steep and winding, with limited barriers and the condition of the road itself is very poor. If you are not a very confident driver or if your group includes people who do not do well with heights, this could be a deal-breaker. Furthermore, the realistic journey time from Taormina to the villa is 35 minutes plus. The journey time to any shops is 20 minutes plus. That does have the effect of being a very peaceful, tranquil place to be, with the great views, but you should bear that in mind when renting this place. What is maybe not 100% clear in the listing as well is that of the two bathrooms, one is a family bathroom upstairs, but the other (shower) room is downstairs and is also the downstairs toilet with limited additional space. So there is really only 1 main bathroom where you can put all your toiletries etc, so bear that in mind for your family group dynamics. Overall, we loved our time gazing out at the view, but given the challenges of reaching the location, would not return.

A June stay at the most wonderful villa!

Everyone comments about the scary drive up to this villa...and they're right, but OMG it is SOOOooooo worth it!! The villa is perfect, has everything you could ask for, and Michael is incredibly helpful and attentive. We would strongly encourage you to accept the offer of the free 'meet and greet' that involves guiding you through the narrow streets up the mountain to the villa. There are several places where you might take the wrong turn otherwise. We took day trips to Castelmola, Ortygia, the wineries on the flanks of Etna and the mosaics of Villa Romana del Casale. This means we were up and down the mountain several times during our 10-day stay. Eventually, you kind of get used to taking it slowly and steadily. The facilities at the villa include a fabulous pool (not heated, so a bit cold while we were there...but it didn't stop us going in several times) a pizza oven (which we used twice...involving much fun and new skills...and the BBQ. The two bathrooms are on different levels...one upstairs where the bedrooms are and the other downstairs off the kitchen/living/dining room. We ate outside using the table by the pool for almost all meals...it was lovely. We absolutely recommend this villa to anyone. It is so peaceful and relaxing...such an oasis away from the hectic townships and traffic along the coast!

Fantastic villa!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Villa Etna Mare. The location was perfect, offering breathtaking views of both the mountains and the sea, including a stunning view of Taormina, and Mt Etna. It was a sight that took our breath away every single day. Michael’s communication, before and after arrival was top-notched. The villa itself was a dream. As a family who loves to cook, we were thrilled to find that the indoor and outdoor kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. We enjoyed preparing delicious meals and dining on the terrace, surrounded by the incredible Sicilian landscape and Mt Etna. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the lovely pool. It was well-maintained and provided a refreshing oasis where we spent many enjoyable hours. Our 7-year-old child absolutely adored the pool and had endless fun playing in it. We used the meet-and-greet service which I think is a must if you arrive late at night. The directions provided were clear, and although it seems a little challenging at first, the journey was well worth it. The winding roads added to the charm of the area, and we had no difficulties reaching this hidden gem. The villa is in google maps and location is quite accurate. In summary, our stay at this villa was nothing short of perfect. The breathtaking views, and excellent amenities has made our Sicilian holiday better. We would highly recommend this villa to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with all the comforts of home.

Etna, Etna, Etna, Mare!!

My wife and I just finished a fabulous week at Villa EtnaMare! As described in the site overview the drive up the hill is a bit of an adventure but ohhh sooo worth it. Arriving at the Villa our first impression was how beautiful the pool and landscaping was. Olive and fruit trees and flowers in full bloom. Just getting out of the car and taking in the sea views and those of Mt Etna were breathtaking. It was a bit ironic that when we first booked the property it was the pictures of the pool overlooking the sea that hooked us. But throughout the week we could not take our eyes off the Mountain! So fascinating throughout the day and spectacular at night! The Villa is amazing. Everything that you would need is available. Comfortable furniture and beds, two great bathrooms, and a super well equipped kitchen! It even has two refrigerators! Who gets two refrigerators?! The pools area is well thought out. Plenty of comfortable lounge options with umbrellas and a beautiful expansive shade tree that makes a perfect viewing spot for Mt Etna. The property location is great for day trips. We were there a week and spent time in Taormina, a lovely albeit touristy town, Catania, Siracusa, and even did a guided hike up to the base of the volcanic cone of Mt Etna. No doubt a highlight of our month long trip to southern Italy. Don’t overlook the smaller town of Giardini Naxos. It’s right at the bottom of the hill and has some great little sea side restaurants. We could not have been happier with our stay. Michael, the owner, was easy to reach and very helpful with any questions we might have had. It is obvious he truly cares about you having the best experience possible. This was our first trip to Sicily and we were blown away! This place is one of the most beautiful, well equipped, and well managed properties we have stayed in. Bravo Michael! We loved it!! 10 Stars!

Wir haben zwei wundervolle Wochen in Michaels Haus verbracht! Das Haus ist mit viel Charme eingerichtet, blitzsauber und bietet eine atemberaubende Aussicht. Besonders den Pool haben wir sehr genossen. Abends haben wir fast täglich den Grill oder den Pizzaofen genutzt und dabei den Blick auf das Meer, die umliegenden Städte und den majestätischen Ätna bewundert.Michael ist ein außergewöhnlicher Gastgeber. Schon vor unserer Anreise hat er uns mit ausführlichen Informationen zur Umgebung, zur Anfahrt und zum Haus versorgt – so detailliert und hilfreich, wie wir es bei keinem unserer bisherigen Ferienhäuser erlebt haben. Während unseres Aufenthalts konnten wir ihn jederzeit kontaktieren, und er hat sich regelmäßig nach unserem Wohlbefinden erkundigt.Die Anfahrt ist, wie beschrieben, etwas anspruchsvoll, aber absolut machbar. Selbst mit unserem tiefergelegten VW California hatten wir keinerlei Probleme.Dieses Haus, diesen Gastgeber, die Lage und natürlich Sizilien selbst können wir uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen – ein unvergesslicher Urlaub!

Michael ist ein wunderbarer Gastgeber, der seine Gäste mit allen Informationen versorgt und sehr darauf bedacht ist, dass man sich wohl fühlt.

Sicily Retreat

The view from Villa Etna Mare is unparalleled. The host is delightful and every detail of our stay was anticipated. The Villa has everything including a pool, pizza oven, washing machine, and well equipped kitchen. The gardens are beautiful and supply the kitchen. We enjoyed privacy but felt like assistance was readily available. The road does require a confident driver and this is not the best place for people who want to party in town every night. The location was perfect for our group and we would highly recommend Villa Etna Mare for artists, foodies, outdoor enthusiasts, and those who want a stay that is authentically Sicilian.

Sehr sauberes, gepflegtes Haus mit traumhafter Aussicht

Wer ein gepflegtes, sauberes Haus mit traumhafter Aussicht und Pool sucht und ein sicherer Fahrer auf einer schmalen Straße mit leichten Schlaglöchern ist, für den ist Villa Etna Mare eine klare Empfehlung. Das Haus mit Pool und Garten ist ein Highlight unseres Urlaubs gewesen. Es liegt in 500 Meter Höhe. Dadurch herrscht dort auch im August ein sehr angenehmes Klima. Das Haus verfügt über ausgezeichnete Fliegengitter, so dass, sofern einmal Mücken auftauchen sollten, trotzdem bei offenem Fenster geschlafen werden kann, was wir einer Klimaanlage gegenüber, die ebenfalls zur Verfügung steht, bevorzugen. Michael ist wirklich ein Superhost. Als unser Flug verspätet war, hat er uns gleich einen Google Maps Link zu einem guten Supermarkt in der Nähe des Flughafens geschickt, damit wir noch in Ruhe einkaufen konnten. Außerdem sendet er einem vorab Informationen, so dass man hervorragend vorbereitet ankommt. Wir werden sicherlich noch einmal Villa Etna Mare besuchen.

Highly recommend

A lovely villa with outstanding views ideally appointed for friends or family. It's entirely possible to while away entire days just wafting round the pool and looking at the view. BBQ/pizza oven area is a plus, and the kitchen has everything you need (including a big drinks fridge). The journey to the villa from sea level is 'fun' but absolutely worth it.

Sizilien und Umgebung

Wir waren 14 Tage in Castelmola in einem wunderschönen Haus mit Pool. Haben uns die Umgebung bis Palermo angeschaut. Das Land und die Berge mit dem Vulkan Ätna, ist wunderschön. Es lohnt sich auf dem Ätna zu gehen, aber warm anziehen. Die Strände sind in manchen Orten steinig, aber es geht schon. Auch ein paar Kritiken habe ich, uns ist aufgefallen, dass die Einwohner es mit dem hauseigenen Müll nicht so ernst nehmen. Überall war es vermüllt, egal wo, sogar auf dem Ätna. Das schlimme ist, dass die Einwohner alles liegen lassen, so auch beim Wochenmarkt. Den nachdem er geschlossen hatte, haben wir beobachtet, dass sie alles abbauen, aber den Müll (wirklich viel Plastik) einfach auf der Strasse liegenlassen. Auch am nächsten Tag war noch alles da. * DA MÜSSTEN DIE STADTVÄTER WAS UNTERNEHMEN * Ansonsten, haben wir einen echt schönen Urlaub verbracht. "ein Lob auch an Michael (Vermieter) es war alles super und es war alles da. (genug Teller, Tassen, Besteck, Gläser usw, usw.) Der Poolbereich war sehr schön und dann den fantastischen Ausblick. Ich gebe eine 5+ zur Bewertung. Ich wünsche die nächsten Urlauber, eine schöne Zeit. Gruß aus Berlin Edwin
