A fantastic house, completely out of the ordinary. The garden side is calm and exciting with the trees and turtles. The hosts Carmela and her son Nino are very welcoming and have lots of good and detailed tips on things to do and where to eat. Acireale is off the beaten tourist track, a real Sicilian smaller city with everything you need. It is a great starting point for excursions to touristy places like Taormina, to the lava rock sided sea, to Etna hikes, to Catania and more.
Do not miss eating a full dinner at Vica Proiette next door to the house. It was the most authentic Italian dinner of our stay. Lots of food. Do not go for Segundo if you want room for dessert :)
