Wow, what a fabulous place! Casa de Arean is a beautiful 18th century villa updated with modern conveniences in a rural setting near the charming village of Aidone. If you want to escape the beaten track of tourists, this is the place! Pietro is a very gracious host who provided all the information we needed for a very enjoyable 2 week stay. The on-site caretaker Hagie was available when needed, and was never intrusive. We had a delightful relaxing stay and hope to return!
Stayed a week, mid July. A proper old country farmhouse, very spacious inside (the two single rooms are small) huge vaulted ceilings are incredible.The pool is huge and is kept spotless, practically lived in it all week. Pietro the host, was wonderful and gave us excellent restaurant recommendations. Haigi the caretaker took great care of our day to day needs.Views are incredible (no photo of Etna does it justice!), it's peaceful and quiet (the hooting owls at night are funny) and only a 4minute car run to Aidone for the daily bakery and deli supplies!Had a brilliant week with my 3 children (17-24) we wanted a change from.the usual coastal madness holidays to just chill, and we got it by the bucket loadsThank you Pietro

A touch of class. The most beautiful place.
Wow! Wow! And thrice wow!
What an incredible place. The house has a charm and elegance not often seen these days. The panoramic view from the terrace must be one of the best in Sicily. Breathtaking. Best equipped kitchen I have experienced in a rental property. Pool, lovely. Relaxed and efficient help from the lovely Lorenzo and Federica. A touch of class all round.
The property is what you would imagine for perfect countryside villa. The photos on the listing are completely accurate. It feels like a noble family’s villa, with a beautiful pool and amazing views of the Sicilian countryside and of course, Mt Etna. During our stay you could watch the lava flow from Etna at night from the balcony. Surrounded by fragrant citrus and olive trees, it is completely relaxing. The ancient city ruins of Morgantina are a short hike from the house and will fascinate any history buff. Pietro is a wonderfully attentive and responsive host and took great care of us, giving us excellent recommendations for day trips, and ensuring we had enough of everything. Highly, highly recommend casa Arena
Pour des vacances parfaites dans un environnement calme, magnifique et où nos besoins sont entendus. L’homme de la maison est très sympathique, nous le remercions de sa présence et participation à garder cet endroit propre, convivial, à la hauteur des photos! Son propriétaire est avenant, sympathique et rempli de ressources, ce qui facilite le séjour pour des touristes. Notre semaine à cet endroit fut la plus belle de tous en Sicile
The house, the view, the helpful host, and the pool all made for an unforgettable week in this magical part of Sicily. If you are looking for a great base from which to explore Sicily, you will love staying at Casa de Arena. And, did I mention the house, the view, the pool, and the helpful host? Everything was incredible, and Etna even put on an extra show for us!
Vacances parfaites au coeur de la Sicile.La villa est charmante, isolée du village voisin et sans nuisances sonores. 2 chambres principales pour 4 personnes (dont 1 avec salle de bain privative) 2 cellules avec 1 lit simple chacune (sans climatisation) et enfin 1 lit deux places qui s'isole de la pièce principale par un rideau.Tous les équipements nécessaires sont à dispo.Trois atouts majeurs :- la très belle piscine, en taille et en exposition- les nombreux endroits propices à des apéritifs midi ou soir : le long de la maison, près de la piscine ou sur la terrasse avec vue- la vue justement. Absolument magnifique ! Aucun élément indésirable qui vienne gâcher le paysage très reposant, une visibilité à perte de vue, qui va jusqu'à l'Etna (la nuit, on apercevait une coulée de lave à la jumelle). Bluffant.Et l'hôte est hyper réactif et facilitant.Villa romaine somptueuse à 20mn de route, aéroport de Catane à 1h00, Syracuse à 1h45, téléphérique Etna à 2h00.Vacances paisibles et reposantes garanties.

Peaceful, spectacular views, very comfortable, excellent pool, extremely helpful property manager.
We had a great 9 day stay at Il Gelso Nero Farmhouse. Federico and Lorenzo could not have been more helpful as they showed us around the property and pointed out the best places to visit nearby. The accommodation was just what we wanted. It is comfortable, has modern facilities (which all worked well) and yet retains many old features which give it the feel of a much loved and quite grand family home. Its elevated position and large balcony area enabled us to take in the spectacular views with Mount Etna in the distance. Aidone is a fine rural town in which we enjoyed eating out, buying local food to eat in, walking through typically old and narrow Sicilian streets and being made to feel very welcome. When not simply relaxing by the pool, the nearby historic sites at Morgantina and Villa del Casale (Piazza Armerina) along with the Museum at Aidone gave us plenty to do without having to travel far. We would love to come back to this property and revisit this region of Sicily.
