VILLA MANCINI - Loft right by the sea in front of the Faraglioni

Surrounded by greenery and overlooking one of the most evocative stretches of coastline in Sicily, our loft enjoys a unique and privileged location, with private access to the sea within the Cyclops Marine Protected Area. A truly special place where nature, the sea and comfort come together to offer an unforgettable stay.

With a pleasant 600–800 meter walk, you can easily reach the charming seaside villages of Aci Castello and Acitrezza, rich in restaurants, cafés, markets, shops, banks, post offices and rental services (bikes, canoes, cars). Everything you need is within walking distance, with no need for a car.

The location is also ideal for exploring Eastern Sicily: Catania and Acireale are just minutes away, while Taormina, Syracuse, Noto, Mount Etna, Caltagirone and Piazza Armerina are all easily accessible. Urban and intercity bus stops are located directly in front of the property, along with the Tourist Bus, allowing guests to move around comfortably and freely.

The seafront, considered one of the most beautiful in Italy, is fully equipped with beach clubs, solariums, diving centers, water sports facilities and boat rentals. Within the Cyclops Marine Reserve, guests can enjoy snorkeling, scuba diving, transparent-bottom boat tours and natural trails suitable for both adults and children. The famous Acitrezza sea stacks, surrounded by crystal-clear waters, can be reached by pedal boat, canoe or traditional rowing boats, easily rented on the beach.

The loft is perfect in every season: from summer seaside holidays to autumn and winter escapes, including unique events such as the Acireale Carnival, one of the most spectacular in Sicily, as well as spring holidays and traditional patron saint festivals with markets, fairs and breathtaking fireworks.
Just a short drive away lies Mount Etna, Europe’s highest active volcano, offering unforgettable excursions and breathtaking landscapes.

Ideal also for families with children, thanks to the nearby theme parks, water parks and adventure parks, including Etnaland.

To make your stay even more special, the owners — passionate about cooking and trekking — can organize, upon request, traditional Sicilian lunches or dinners, featuring fish, meat and local products, as well as guided walks and excursions on Mount Etna and the surrounding area.

A peaceful oasis immersed in nature, just steps from the sea, in the authentic heart of Eastern Sicily.
