This charming, historic holiday home in Santa Tecla, a hamlet of Acireale, just 20 metres from the beach, is ideal for a family with children or a group of friends.
At present, and only temporarily, the part of the garden facing the sea is inaccessible due to the recent storm surges caused by Cyclone Harry.
We are awaiting the necessary administrative approvals to proceed with the restoration of the damaged area as soon as possible.
Please note that, in any case, the small courtyard with its attached shower remains fully functional as before.
Restaurants, pizzerias, a kiosk-bar, a small but well-stocked shop and the supermarket are all within easy reach, so do go out and try the local cuisine.
The Garitta di Santa Tecla, a Saracen watchtower 750 metres from our house, is also a lovely place to visit at least once.
Enjoy preparing typical regional dishes in the well-equipped kitchen or sipping an aperitif on the terrace with its spectacular views.
Please switch off the air conditioning when leaving the house for more than an hour and close the awnings and shutters on windy days.
You can park your car on the street below and in the surrounding areas.
Please dispose of rubbish in accordance with the notice displayed in the kitchen.

One Word Review: Wonderful. Everything was great. The hosts were very welcoming and were helpful. The location is very nice, with a view at the sea from the terrace. The house is a beauty. A piece of art. A lot of love was put into this place. It's clean, spacious and comfortable. Everything was there for a short stay, and much more. Highly recommended.

Ik verbleef hier voor werk en vond het behoorlijk praktisch. Dicht genoeg bij voorzieningen maar nog steeds rustig genoeg om me te concentreren op wat ik moest doen.

Wir waren zwei Wochen in Santa Tecla. Da wir mit dem Zug angereist sind, hat uns Salvatore vom Bahnhof abgeholt und bei der Rückfahrt hingebracht. Insgesamt wurden wir sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit empfangen. Die Wohnung ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet und befindet sich nur wenige hundert Meter von einem Steinstrand entfernt. Ein Auto vor Ort ist anzuraten. Santa Tacla ist ein ruhiger Ort, von dem aus man viele Ausflüge unternehmen kann.

Unser Aufenthalt bei Maria Pia war unglaublich. Sie hat uns herzlich empfangen und wir haben es wirklich geliebt, in dem gemütlichen Haus am Meer zu bleiben. Es hatte alles, was wir brauchten. Die Aussicht war traumhaft und morgens kann man auf der Terrasse die Sonne genießen. Das Haus hat eine großartige Lage, um den Nordosten Siziliens, den Ätna und Catania zu erkunden. Sehr empfehlenswert!
