truly breathtaking location and facilities.The host, Michael was very helpful, detailed and friendly.The road up the hill may put off some nervous drivers but the rough road insured peace and quite.This was not the sort of place to pop down the hill for dinner so catering had to be thorough and well thought out.

We loved our stay at Villa Etna Mare. The setting is amazing with the most wonderful views of Mount Etna and the coast. The villa is very well equipped with a great outdoor cooking area. The drive up to the villa is quite a drive! but the instructions from Michael meant that you knew exactly where you were and therefore didn't miss any turnings! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it. Michael, the host,was very helpful with any questions we had too about the local area.

We cannot express enough how much we enjoyed our stay at Villa Etna Mare. The accommodation is in an unbelievable spot. The views are just extraordinary. The bedrooms are comfortable. The kitchen has everything one could want. The outside area — not only the pool and chairs but also the patio / terrace dining room area are ideal for enjoying the relaxed holiday experience. The owners are exceptional in looking after the villa and its guests. We first stayed in the villa over a decade ago and this was our reprise. For sure; we won’t let it go so long between our stays this time. Indeed, we will be back! What can we say but we highly, highly recommend Villa Etna Mare. Absolutely Sublime!

Having just returned from our third stay in Villa Etna Mare, I can confirm that no matter how many times you ascend the hill to the villa it will never become less awe-inspiring. It is a truly unique outlook that will take your breath away upon arrival. Villa Etna Mare provides absolutely everything you need as a comfortable base to explore Eastern Sicily but it’s so good, and in such a great position, that you could simply lounge away multiple days enjoying the scenery. Everything you could need is present within the villa and all of a great standard; a rustic Sicilian feel with an incredibly well-appointed outside space to wile away the hours. Michael and Marianne are outstanding hosts, with a great knowledge of the area that they are more than happy to share with guests. The pre-trip information received via email, and correspondence throughout is incredibly helpful allowing people to build the perfect trip to Sicily. We will undoubtedly be back for a fourth time soon!
