'CASA ARANCI' self catering villa, great sea views, close to piazza Duomo

CIN IT087004C2GJTSES5J This 3 bedroom house which spans over 3 floors is situated in Piazza Madonna Suffragio with magnificent views of both a beautiful 400 year old church and the Ionian sea; it is walking distance from the heart of Acireale, a 17 C baroque town bursting with beautiful historical buildings. 'Casa Aranci', recently refurbished, retains some of its original features and integrates within the square.

Casa Aranci sleeps 5 people.
The first floor is dedicated entirely to an en suite bedroom with a king double bed, it also has a single sofa bed for a third guest and walk-in shower.
The second floor comprises of a king double bed room and a single room both sharing a 'wrap around' style balcony with individual access from the respective rooms and a bathroom with shower. The highlight of 'Casa Aranci' has to be the third floor which is the kitchen and dinning area leading out to a garden terrace which benefits from magnificent views of the sea. There’s also a bathroom with shower on this floor.
All rooms have air conditioning which can also switch to heating in the few cold winter nights between Nov and April.

Catania, Taormina Mt Etna and Siracusa are within one hour drive.

Thermal Site; Acireale's Santa Venera Thermal Site dates back to Roman-times but unfortunately it is currently closed to the public.

Excursions to Mt Etna: Etna volcano, the largest Volcano in Europe, towering above Catania, Sicily's second largest city, has one of the world's longest documented records of historical volcanism, dating back to 1500 BC. Historical lava flows of basaltic composition cover much of the surface of this massive volcano. The Volcano, truncated by several small calderas, was constructed during the late Pleistocene and Holocene over an older shield volcano.
If you are a volcanoes amateur it is possible to organise a trip to Refugio Sapienza and the cable car that departs from there followed by a ride in a four wheel drive shuttle and take advantage from there of the guided tours with highly trained experts in geology and volcanology that can lead you on small groups to the summit of mount Etna. In Casa Aranci you’ll find vouchers for a free snack and drink for everyone taken the excursion to the summit.

There are good restaurants in Acireale and around. "Vecchia Aci" trattoria in the square on the side of the San Sebastian church,  also from Piazza Duomo you can walk across on via Cavour until you see the steps of the church of San Domenico, and across the church is the restaurant "Il Fico d'India" also a very good restaurant/pizzeria and quite good value ( these are my favourites). -please note: Fico d’India means The Prickly Pear, which is a typical Mediterranean plant and nothing to do with Indian food!

The recently open restaurant-pizzeria “Frumento” in the fish market of Piazza Mazzini are open for dinner, their food and wines are very good quality and they’re very popular already. 

The pizzeria “Vecchio Teatro” round the corner from the house in via Romeo has reopened after being closed recently for refurbishment and it’s very economical. .

For an aperitif just seat at "Bar Duomo" or any bar near Piazza Duomo and enjoy the scenery and the passeggiata (walk on the main street Corso Umberto up to Villa Belvedere gardens). 
 
Locals have their midmorning snack of "granita" - a sorbet made with almond paste - you can sample different flavours also at cafe' "Cipriani" just across the church of San Sebastian -closed on Wednesdays- 

In Santa Maria la Scala there are several good sea-food restaurants "Scalo Grande", "La Grotta", “Al Mulino” and "La Timpa" (their granita is renowned).

For a special evening, the town of Acitrezza has several sea food restaurants, the best one, "Da Federico", is in the main square  or my friend Emmanuele's "Il Covo Marino". 
Also "La Bettola dei Marinai, Da Lorenzo" in the town of Santa Tecla and "Aquapazza" near the small port in the same town. 
In the small village of Capomulini try the restaurant “Al Mulino”, its position on stills right on the sea, their menu and service are very good. - practice your Italian or google translate!

Also the Pinacoteca Museum in via Marchese di San Giuliano is one of the most important in Sicily and the nearby Teatro dei Pupi (a theater of traditional sicilian marionettes playing scenes of history in Sicily) and its own museum upstairs are worth visiting.

There's a foot bridge across the square from the house that leads to an ancient path to the sea in the village of Santa Maria la Scala, you'll enjoy the walk; this path is known as "Le Chiazzette" (a natural reserve now); you'll find a metal post about half way down, you can go on walking up to the town square or take the steep steps on the right that takes you to the old flour mill (Il Mulino) and the sea. The sun goes behind the hill in the afternoon so the best time to go is in the morning. For the summer months the town hall built a free entry wooden platform on the rocks with showers and a little bar with deck chairs to rent.

We should also add that the old church across the square tells the time with its bells from 7am to 10pm. This is an ancient custom in Sicily that has been carried out for centuries since the period when it was the only way for most parishioners to know when it was time to get up, have lunch, the Angelus and go to bed... This is difficult to understand nowadays when we all have watches and phones to do that job but we hope you can understand these customs and immerse in its culture

However, we provide earplugs in the house if you think it may affect you!

Wonderful stay and host!

We had a lovely stay this summer at Mario’s place. The house was very clean and comfortable, with an amazing view of the sea. We loved the balcony off kitchen, and the location of the house central to main square in town and the path down to the sea. The kitchen was well equipped and we were pleasantly surprised with the A/C in the bedrooms and kitchen area. Mario was a very thoughtful and responsive host, answering questions promptly about recommendations and logistics and providing us a few food items to get us started (milk, butter, coffee etc) and some local bakery treats. Acireale is well located to exploring Mt.Etna and vicinity.

Our stay at Aranci 70

Before we arrived at the property, Mario provided extremely helpful information and was there to greet us on arrival. The villa provided everything we could ask for and Mario was always on hand to provide any help. It was a short stay but made all the better by our accommodation. The beds were comfy and the kitchen provided all the equipment we needed.

Beautiful stay at Acireale!

We stayed at Casa Aranci for 3 nights in late May, and we already miss it! Our host Mario is just wonderful. He was there from day 1 to help us become acquainted with this beautiful city as we were first-time visitors to the region. Casa Aranci itself was perfect for us, and its view of the Ionian Sea is breath-taking. So many thoughtful details throughout the place! We enjoyed walking to Piazza Duomo for dinner in the evenings and visiting the shops. We cannot wait to visit and stay at Casa Aranci again!

Sea view, central location

Casa Aranci was a perfect fit for our family of five adults and Acireale was a good central location for trips to Mount Etna, Taormina, Siracusa and Catania. We loved relaxing on the third floor terrace with a beautiful view of the sea. Some of us thought the church bells were charming, others were annoyed but appreciated the earplugs. Mario is an excellent host and provided us with restaurant and sightseeing recommendations, plus parking tips. Acireale is a lovely town and the people are friendly, wished we had more time to spend there.

Best holiday home to book

The host is extremely warm, generous and accommodating. The three-storey townhouse has been lovingly renovated, has the most modern equipment and is in excellent condition. We were treated like members of the family and found food such as fruit, milk and butter as a welcome gift. Cosmetics and beach towels were also provided free of charge for guests. The description, the furnishings and the pictures in FeWo Direkt are completely accurate. We will definitely be back! Best regards to Mario and Eamon You get what you give!

A stay in the real Sicily

This is a traditional property renovated to a good standard on the edge of the old town with great views and a fantastic wraparound terrace to sit out and relax. If you want a piece of the real Sicily then don’t hesitate to stay here. The basilica bells just add to your cultural experience and you can even hear mass and the priest sing! Mario is charming and very helpful, he has thought of everything you might need and there are some lovely little personal touches in the property. We managed to negotiate the streets of the old town and park right outside which was challenging but fun - cms to spare in places! Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Good base for a visit to Etna. Really enjoyed our stay here

A great family vacation !!

We spent ten days as a family of four, in this fabulous property! The house itself was spotless, plenty bedrooms for all of us and a fabulous terrace with a marvellous view.. We travelled to giardini, Taormina, castelmola which was a quaint village in the mountains.. Also travelled south to Ragusa. Car hire was available in acireale. We would like to thank Paola for her kind help too. She made a huge difference and was a pleasant assistance to us. Town was very Sicilian experience . We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. We loved casa aranci!! We hope to return again in the future. Thanks for the tips about the lovely restaurants too Mario and eamon

Very pleasant time at Casa Aranci

We had a very pleasant time at Casa Aranci. The house exceeded our expectations. A spacious terrace with stunning sea views. And an additional terrace with stunning views of the active Mount Etna. We saw the lava flow. In addition, the housekeeper had made the house tiptop in order. The stay in the city suited us well. Shops and recommended restaurants nearby. Or just to eat an ice cream in the evening. The carnival provided a cheerful crowds. From Catania we visited Syracuse, Etna, Agrigento and Taormina. Syracuse and Agrigento fascinating to their excavations, the spectacular Etna with the extraordinary landscape and Taormina too touristy. In addition, we have been a few times to the beach. The water was lovely; the outward and especially return journey was heavy. We will definitely recommend Cas Aranci to anyone who wants to visit wonderful, friendly, somewhat chaotic but definitely delicious Sicily!

Idyllic View

We were met by Paola late in the evening and we were very pleased to see her as we had got lost in the town. The house was very well equiped and very clean. The view from the terrace/balcony was very good.There are 3 flights of stairs to get to the dining/lounge but it is worth it to see the view. Anyone booking needs to take into account the avice of the owner regarding cars. The streets are very narrow and some 90 degree turns are required. So if you hire a car hire a small one. We had an Alfa about the size of a VW Golf which was alittle bit too big. We had no problems parking outside the house once we had found it. The BA flight arrives late in the evening so probably taking advantage of the car pick up from the airport would be advisable. We had a very pleasant and relaxing stay and would highly recommend this property. Thanks John

Fantastico!

My adult daughter and I stayed at Mario's place and it truly was a delightful place to stay! The home has three levels with the first one having a spacious entryway and a very large bedroom with additional couch which I also believe can be a bed, along with a full bathroom. The second floor has two bedrooms and full bathroom, which is where we stayed. It's very unique as it has one main entry door but two rooms within in it, each with a separate door and again, a full bathroom. The upper level is absolutely amazing! It has another bathroom with shower and a beautiful kitchen with a spectacular patio that wraps around one side of the home. The views of the sea, church, and sunrise are stunning! We utilized the patio every day, several times a day!! We did drive here from Siracusa, just have to be aware that the streets in Acireale are narrow but can be navigated by properly allowing enough room for tight turns. Mario does have a dedicated parking space out front to park your car which is where it stayed the remaining part of our stay until we left. We walked all around Acireale, and even the streets that are narrow without much sidewalk can be easily walked by being in the street and staying close to the parked cars. This is truly how the locals do it, even with kids! There are several farmer's stand and stores within a 10-15 walk. Mario left us some welcome and departing goodies which were awesome!! Highly recommend staying here!!

Fabulous Memories of Casa Aranci!

A beautiful quaint Italian property very near a Catholic Church (whose bells I am now missing)! The view from the top third floor is spectacular looking at the sea and you can do a bit of people watching as the locals go about their business. You also get the early morning sun which you can enjoy sitting on the balcony with your expresso! And in the evening just as stunning with your glass of prosecco or Italian red! There were five of us in the party staying here and we certainly had plenty of room. The town is 5 mins away - with plenty of restuarants and coffee shops. The owners of the property also left us taxi details and people to contact for excursions which we made the most of. We visited Taormina by by car and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves but I am so glad that we stayed in Acireale as I felt we were more in an Italian environment away from too many tourists. Every day we walked to Piazza del Duomo where there is the most incredible coffee shop with cakes, ice cream and assortment of Italian pastries. It is directly opposite the huge church. And every day it took us ages to actually chose what we wanted as we tried to taste everything. The staff were so friendly and patient! At night we always went somewhere different to eat - and believe me I would not be able to say which was the best restaurant! They were so good!!! There are also excellent walks by the sea and a lot to explore. I will definitely be returning to Casa Aranci as I think I have found my new 2nd home! Thank you to the owners of Casa Aranci and their family nearby who were always willing to help and give advice!

A truly Sicilian experience

We travelled as a family of five, one teen, two boys of 6 and 9, to Casa Aranci, in July 2012.. As I write this review, we are already planning our return trip with great anticipation. It was a truly Sicilian experience. We experience first hand the way the Sicillians live and eat, and just enjoy their time at the beautiful Piazza Duomo. The house itself is fantastic, spotless and ideal with plenty of space and we were not in each others way. We each had our own bedrooms which were more than spacious with a lovely bathroom en suite in the master bedroom. The view from the balcony and kitchen dining area is spectacular and we spent plenty time just enjoying this.. Everything was provided at Casa Aranci, the kitchen is fully equipped, with all cooking utensils provided. We found the owner Eamon very helpful in providing us with information about the surrounding areas and the town itself. The town centre is a 5 minute walk with great markets selling fresh fruit, vegetables and fish, plenty to cook- in with. Alternatively the restaurants are so family friendly, no problem with children so welcoming and at any time too. The Piazza provided a great area for our children to play every evening, have an ice cream and we could sit and watch the world go by. Shops open late for a browse here too.. We did hire a car which is a great help as the beaches in the locality are mainly swimming off the rocks, which we did plenty of, however we did travel to Giardini Naxos and Taormina on day trips also. The car was a great asset with the smaller kids too. Initially Church bells woke us daily however after maybe 3 mornings we were sleeping through.. A fabulous experience all round. Casa Aranci is stunning in itself with the most incredible view from the balcony, which must be seen to be believed.. Undoubtedly one of the best places we have stayed. I highly recommend a trip here.

Perfect Location - Perfect Paradise

Look no further. Choose this one. A real taste of authentic Sicily. Stayed here as a group of five friends – outstanding location close to all sights and amenities. Centrally located in the heart of the Piazza, panoramic views over a glistening sea. Spacious and airy bedrooms, with ensuites and roomy, hand-crafted wardrobes, functioning shuttered windows and balconies, overlooking magnificent church. You immediately feel you are in the hub of Sicilian life. The Townhouse is well appointed in a classical style with touches of modern dĂ©cor. Very versatile, suits an entire family or group like ours or separate couples: The top floor has well-equipped and comfortable living and kitchen space, for family group dining. Handy adjacent bathroom. The magnificent central ocean view on a wide panoramic balcony is THE place to sit, sip and wonder in awe , morning or evening. Pure heaven. A short 5-10 minute walk to a very well stocked supermarket – fresh produce, reasonably priced, you can spend the week working through their cheese and wine, envying Sicilian lemons and everything else Italian. Also nearby picturesque Cathedral and Churches, welcoming coffee shops pastries, cakes and lunches. Excellent range restaurants – authentic Italian . Here also are the artisan shops, bakeries, smart retail, pharmacy etc. A walk down to the cliff to beautiful town of Santa Maria La Scala for sunning swimming and lunching and a welcome return bus. . We were also able to arrange a day out with a very comfortable taxi drop off and pick up to Taormina, which is not to be missed. Absolutely spectacular. We didn’t hire a car as we didn’t really need to. Maybe for longer visits. Used the taxis recommended. Hosts so helpful with arrangements and airport pickup. This is truly a very comfortable and well-appointed base to explore and enjoy. Well run and maintained with thought and care. Rooms/floors have individual locks and the solid front door is very secure. It felt very safe. The area felt safe. Plenty of hot water, spotlessly clean, as the accommodation is large. Plentiful fresh linens. large fridge, good washing machine/drying space, to minimise packing, extendable dining table, plenty of chairs. Spare beds for children and enough space to move around. Well loved and looked after accommodation. Even the plants looked perky. A great find. Recommend. A magical stay at Casa Aranci -

It was wonderful. Mario contacted us well ahead with tips and information. The parking spot that comes with the house is great, there is no parking otherwise. Mario checked at 4am! whether our taxi came to bring us to the airport. He organized a chef and our family had great fun watching him cook and later eat the goodies. Mario stayed to help clean. There was fruit, water and cookies upon arrival and he brought some bakery during our stay. You couldn't ask for a better host.

Mitten drin und doch entrĂŒckt

Eigentlich liegt das Ferienhaus ganz zentral, wenige Minuten vom schönen Piazza Duomo entfernt. Und doch am Stadtrand mit schönem Meerblick von der Dachterrasse aus. Und diese sorgt auch dafĂŒr, dass man der reubeligen, lebhaften Stadt entrĂŒckt ist, wenn man gemĂŒtlich sitzt und den Ausblick genießt. Wir hatten 12 wunderschöne Tag, wozu auch dieses Haus und der nette, zuvorkommende Kontakt mit Mario beigetragen haben. Alles war gut, die Fotos entsprechen die RealitĂ€t. Wir sind ungern abgereist.

Acireale und die OstkĂŒste

Unser Aufenthalt in der Ferienwohnug war wunderschön; wir hatten einen ausgezeichneten Blick aufs Meer. Die Wohnung erhielt alle notwendigen EinruchtungsgegenstĂ€nde; insbesondere die KĂŒche war sehr gut ausgerĂŒstet. Mario, der HauseigentĂŒmer hat uns zusĂ€tzlich mit schönen sizilianischen Aufmerksamkeiten verwöhnt. Die Altstadt von Acireale mit ihrem schönem Dom u anderen prĂ€chtigen GebĂ€uden war in unmittelbarer NĂ€he u gut fusslĂ€ufig erreichbar.Auch die Restaurants u Bars waren gut. Unsere AusflĂŒge nach Siracusa/Noto/Taormina/ Catania waren wunderschön!

La maison de ville est trĂšs agrĂ©able et dispose d'une grande terrasse dominant la mer 150m plus bas. La climatisation fonctionne parfaitement (apprĂ©ciable sous 40 degrĂ©s). Mario met Ă  disposition tout ce dont on peut avoir (des cuillĂšres en bois pour la cuisine serait un plus 😀). L'emplacement Ă  Acireale est parfait : dans le centre mais trĂšs au calme (le bar avec terrasse en dessous Ă©tait fermĂ© pour tout l'Ă©tĂ©).

Sonne satt zwischen Weihnachten und Neujahr

Die Beschreibung war zutreffend. Die Unterkunft insbesondere die Dachterrasse waren hervorragend.

Voortreffelijk

Een warm welkom bij Mario na een lange en vermoeiende reis naar SiciliĂ«. Binnenkort komen we weer terug en gaan weer genieten van Mario’s gastvrijheid.

Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig

The excellent view from its terrace will make you fall in love with it as it did to us from the minute we set foot in it... It was, and it still is, like seating in the deck of a cruise ship; from dawn to sunset!
