A unique and wonderful location, nestled in a small valley of wilderness, beneath Mt Etna.
It has all the necessary amenities you need for days lounging at the swimming pool and relaxing within the castle environs. Surrounded by natural forest, it creates a pleasant sound of nature away from the bustle of people and cars.
The family owners are hospitable, welcoming and try to take care of any requirements you have or provide the things you might need to make your stay a comfortable experience.
It's ideally located between the city of Catania to the South (<40mins) and Taormina to the North (<40mins), with Mt Etna towering to the west and the town of Giarre and beaches to the East. The beaches of Giardini Naxos are only a short drive away too.
Although the nearby village of Macchia and the commune of Giarre are quite dilapidated, Macchia has an authentic rural Italian feel, with a few excellent cafe's, serving deliciously fresh ice-cream, granita, brioche and so on. Giarre, as a port town, also has a good pick of Italian restaurants serving scrumptious food.
Perhaps JRR Tolken found inspiration from such a location... Or the healing properties of water from Mt Etna, which fill the pool, flow from the same streams of Arthurian legend and stories of a fairy enchantress, Morgan le Fay!
