B&B " La Dimora degli Scrittori " - S. Quasimodo -

La Dimora degli Scrittori aims to be a classy, ​​distinctive and original environment. We chose this name to highlight the importance that some of our authors have had in the history of Italian literature and their connection with the Sicilian land. Our main goal is to welcome our guests with typical Sicilian warmth and, in the meantime, to celebrate through memory some of the most influential Sicilian artists active between the end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. The extreme attention to detail means that La Dimora degli Scrittori can give you a unique, personalized and authentic stay. I would like my guests to feel welcomed in the best possible way within my structure and that a real exchange of habits and customs can take place. My goal is to allow my guests to discover a unique territory like Sicily, in maximum serenity and safety. I have always imagined that knowledge of various cultures increases one's own; for this reason I decided to put my knowledge of the territory at the service of guests, in order to make known the cultural, landscape, as well as culinary, beauties of my land. La Dimora degli Scrittori is located in the historic center of Giarre, a few meters from Piazza Duomo and the Church of Sant'Isidoro Agricola, an imposing neoclassical building. The town is located in a strategic position, halfway between Taormina and Catania, on the eastern side of Etna. The central square of the city offers a wide view of Etna, with its snow-capped peaks, and is flanked by Corso Italia, whose horizon is dominated by the sea. The city, therefore, is considered a meeting point for those who want to challenge themselves with excursions to discover Etna, generally made possible up to the summit craters, alongside expert guides. Also, without straying too far from the area, we highly recommend a visit to Syracuse and the island of Ortigia, and Noto, "capital of the Baroque". A must-see for any tourist who intends to visit the eastern coast of Sicily is Taormina, worthy owner of the title of "Pearl of the Ionian", with its Greek Theater and the fascinating Isola Bella, with nearby Castelmola, considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, with a breathtaking view. Another experience to live is the excursion to the Alcantara Gorges, with activities suitable for all ages, from independent visits to body rafting. Moving away to the Tyrrhenian side of the Sicilian coast, the trip to the Aeolian Islands allows you to visit Lipari, with its Archaeological Museum, and Vulcano, famous for its volcanic mud used in the treatment of rheumatic diseases. If you are an architecture enthusiast, you will be fascinated by Catania, full of historical monuments, ancient churches and noble palaces. The neighboring towns that are worth visiting are: Acireale, Aci Castello, Aci Trezza, Motta Sant’Anastasia, Bronte, Augusta, Zafferana Etnea, Vizzini, Caltagirone
