We - family with two kids, 5 and 8 years old - have spent 11 days in Carmelas lovely house. The garden is very charming, the turtles a great fun for the kids. Acireale itself is a good place to stay, not so touristic, beautiful old town, but very narrow streets - I do not recommend to rent a big car as we did ;) Nino, Carmelas son, welcomed us very warmly and took care of whatever we needed, gave us great tips where to go and what to visit. We had an amazing vacation! Thank you!
