Contrada Salice

The hosts are very friendly and reply quickly. The location is very beautiful and reachable with a bigger car. We had a station wagon and had no issue to reach the property. The views are amazing with Etna on your back and the sea and city views in front. It's a quiet place with lots of relaxing possibilities.

We booked a superior double room and the 2nd (older) bedroom didn't have air conditioning. With hot temperatures in August and September, it was also hot in that room. The host helped us out by giving us a different room, which we really appreciated!

Just Wow! Really. This is one of the nicest places I have ever stayed in via Booking.com, and I have stayed in some nice places. The apartment itself is very well appointed, comfortable, stylish, roomy, clean and tidy. Both bathrooms are lovely. The bed was extremely comfortable. And then you look out the windows in the bedroom… To the rear of the property we had a good view of the top third of Mt Etna. To the front of the property you have a Juliet balcony overlooking a view from the hillside down towards the Ionian Sea to the East of Sicily. You also have another side aspect looking North onto beautiful rolling countryside. If you head back into the kitchen there is a French door out to an amazingly spacious verandah which gives incredible views to the North, East and South East. There is a table and chairs out there and also a few Sun loungers. And then you go out to the back garden up the slope of the hill to the West. There you are welcomed by incredible views of Mount Etna, vineyards and beautiful countryside. Particularly enjoyable from the swimming pool or the sun loungers there. I had expected it to be nice, but this place blew me away, which after the lovely place in Syracuse we had just left I was not expecting. Magnifico! Francis was also a charming and helpful host. There are several other apartments on the property, but it feels private.

Nothing at all. The location is a little tricky to find. My advice would be to check it out on a satellite image of the map so you can orient yourself to where the private gated road entrance to the property is. That’s not a criticism, just some advice if you want some magic yourself.

Cet hébergement est idéalement situé pour partir randonner sur l'Etna, notamment sur la partie est et nord. Il bénéficie d'une vue exceptionnelle sur la côte et sur l'Etna. L'appartement est spacieux, confortable et très bien équipé. La terrasse permet de déjeuner en profitant de la vue sur la mer. Nous avons été bien accueillis par Francesco qui nous a expliqué le fonctionnement de l'appartement. Le jardin et la piscine sont des espaces très agréables.

Seul le lit double d'une des chambres grince et mériterait peut-être d'être changé.

Een prachtig uitzicht en rustige omgeving.

Geen vaatwasser en magnetron/oven in 2e appartement.
