We were very fortunate to select Villa EtnaMare as place for 14-days stay in Sicily for our family, and that choice was a "bull's eye".
It's hard to find a better place for quiet stay with a family and a kid: a stunning view, large and comfortable rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, amazing and huge fruit garden (so large I don't think we even explored fully) and a marvelous huge pool with both sea and garden view.
The house is very clean and has everything you may need for your stay, including patio and barbecue outside in the garden.
The location itself is unique - you're in 20-30 reach from practically every tourist place around: beaches in Giardini Naxos are just 20 min ride away, Taormina and Catania - 30 min ride. Zafferrana and Acireale towns that are also very close definitely deserve a visit. If you're interested in hiking, it a perfect staring point, as the mountain is right behind. And if you don't feel like going somewhere, you can walk to 5 botti restaurant which is literally next door, or to Pasticceria Russo for great deserts and a cup of perfect espresso in Santa Venerina, or walk up to Murgo vineyards and enjoy a dinner with a grape yards view.
The place is family-owned, and our hosts were the nicest people. They were at all times welcoming and helpful, and open for a conversation or sharing a glass of wine. They even helped me out finding a guitar to practice during my vacation :)
I fully recommend this place to whoever is considering - this is no-regret choice.
