We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Carmela's in the old town of Acireale. The apartment is comfortable and furnished to a very high standard with everything you need for a week’s stay but it’s also full of examples of the best of Italian design.
There was plenty of space for a family of four even with two energetic children.
The house is situated a few minutes away from the centre of the town so an easy to walk to most of the restaurants and facilities. The coastal resorts and mountain villages are also not too far away to discover by car.
Off street parking is essential here and fortunately this house has its own secure area behind the house with an automatic gate. Navigating the local roads to find it would have been a challenge but our host jumped in the car with us when we arrived to guide us the first time.
The whole family (who live next door) were most welcoming and helpful all the way through our stay and could not have been nicer, even inviting us for coffee and pastries on our last day and giving us a tour of their beautiful home. We will definitely return there on our next visit to Sicily. Thank you !!!
