Spacious lodging in the midst of Sicilian way of life
Casa Aranci contains of three levels: one double room with bath on the 1st floor, two further bedrooms with another bath on the 2nd one and finally the cosy living room with kitchenet and loggia plus toilet on the 3rd. We enjoyed the wonderful view above the square with its church* onto the sea from inside and outside very much.
* The bell ringer was very diligent whereas the trains and the road were fairly quiet. The pub is closeby but didn't bother during our stay -- however sensitive people could appreciate the eartips at hand.
Salutatory Paola did a great Job for us: rooms, buyings, lemon and lovely flowers all around our casa -- everything was prepared for a pleasant welcome. Thank you so much Paola!
Mario's tips in advance have been helpful too: that way e. g. we went on the lovely footpath 'Le Chiazette' down to Santa Maria la Scala, had a delicious dinner at Vecchia Aci trattoria, have been to Al Ficodindia as well and to Costarelli's for a tasty 'midmorning snack'. At 'The Mescan' pub we enjoyed various hamburgers amongst young people (with music and soccer on TV). Caffè Cipriani bar seems to be another good idea for a stop ... And all of them are nearby!
The further hints for the preparation of our visit helped just as well. Everythink was right and highly appreciated, thanks a lot!
Hopin' to come back soon for another time
ingo & family
Thank you so much to all your family, Ingo for your kind words and for taking such a good care of Casa Aranci during your stay. Paola was delighted with your appreciation as well
Thank you also for taking the time to write an honest and detailed review of the house and the area.
We would be delighted to welcome you any other time in the future.
Kind regards, Eamon
Super!
Tolles Ferienhaus auf drei Ebenen. Sehr zentral gelegen in der Altstadt. Gute Ausstattung und unkomplizierte Anmietung. Einheimischer Housekeeper vor Ort. Dachterrasse mit tollem Blick. Acereale ist nicht so touristisch. Das hat uns sehr gut gefallen.
Translation:
“Great holiday home on three levels. Very centrally located in the old town. Good equipment and uncomplicated rental. Local housekeeper on site. Rooftop terrace with great views. Acereale is not that touristy. We liked that very much”
Thank you very much Katrin!
We’re very happy you enjoyed the house and its facilities and that Acireale and the area worked well for you. Paola, our housekeeper is always at hand and very helpful even when the language could be a problem, she manages to sort things out!
We'll be very happy to welcome you anytime in the future and maybe you’ll take a chance at driving a car!
Thank you also for helping future guests with your comments and suggestions.
Kind regards, Eamon

Thank you again for your lovely description of the house.

Sizilien pur - authentischer kann es kaum sein!
Wir verbrachten als Ehepaar um die 50 eine wunderbare Woche in der Casa Aranchi. Das mittelalterliche Städtchen Acireale ist eine von Touristen weitgehend verschonte Stadt, in der man das authentische Sizilien erleben kann. Die Menschen sind freundlich, hilfsbereit und viele Cafes, Restaurants sind sehr gut und günstig. Wir haben das Restaurant Vecchia Archi sehr geliebt. Acireale ist ein perfekter Ausgangspunkt, um die gesamte Ostküste Siziliens zu erkunden. Die Beschreibung auf der Internetseite gibt das Haus sehr gut wieder. Es ist excellent ausgestattet, sauber und gepflegt. Die große Dachterrasse mit Meerblick, einfach phantastisch. Die Londoner Vermieter Mario und Eamon sind unglaublich nette Menschen, die wirklich alles tun, damit der Aufenthalt perfekt wird. Viele gute Empfehlungen hinsichtlich der Anreise, guter Restaurants, lokaler Sehenswürdigkeiten kamen von den beiden. Auch das kleinste Problem wurde sofort angegangen und gelöst. Paola, die freundliche und hilfsbereite Nachbarin vor Ort verwaltet das Haus und ist Ansprechpartnerin für jedwede Anliegen. Warum - trotz dieser vielen positiven Punkte - keine 5 Punkte in der Bewertung? Mitten in einer italienischen Stadt zu wohnen, bedeutet auch, daß es laut ist und man gelegentlich mal etwas länger nach einem Parkplatz suchen muß. Parkplätze gibt es aber, und wir haben auch immer einen gefunden. Die Glocken der gegenüberliegenden Kirche läuten ab 6:30 h und in der Nähe liegt ein irischer Pub, vor dem die Gäste bis in die Nacht halt auch stehen und sich unterhalten und lachen. Das gehört dazu, wenn man süditalienisches Leben erkunden möchte. Meine Frau, die während ihrer Studienzeiten ein Jahr mitten in Florenz lebte, fand es großartig. Ich selbst hatte doch mit einigen Schlafproblemen zu kämpfen, die ich aber dann mit Ohrstöpseln in den Griff bekam. Zusammenfassend eine sizilianische Erfahrung, die man unbedingt empfehlen kann. Ich möchte sie nicht missen. Danke an Mario, Eamon und Paola!
Thank you very much Holger and Angela.
I took the liberty of translating your sincere and straight to the point review of your experience in Casa Aranci for the benefit of future clients.
We really appreciated your custom and will pass your compliments to Paola.
Our best regards, Mario and Eamon
We are a middle-aged couple and spent a wonderful week in the Casa Aranchi. In the medieval town of Acireale you can experience authentic Sicilian life as it is spared from too many tourists. the people are friendly and helpful and the many cafes and restaurants are good and reasonably priced. WE really enjoyed the restaurant Vecchio Archi. Acreage itself is an ideal starting point to explore the eastern coast of Sicily. The website does a good job describing the house. It is excellently furnished, clean and well looked after. The rooftop terrace with its view over the sea is fantastic. The two landlords Mario and Eamon, who I’ve in London, are unbelievably lovely pole who do anything to make the stay perfect. They gave us lots of good recommendations on how to get there, good restaurants and local attractions - even the smallest problem was solved immediately. Paola, the friendly and very helpful neighbour, looks after after the house and is the contact person or any problems. Why did we give not 5 point in our review, even with all those great attributes? TO live in the middle of an Italian city also means that it can be loud and that you have to look for a parking space ver so often. There are many parking spaced and we have always found one.The bells of the church opposite chime at 6.30 am and there is an Irish pub close by where the gusts often stand outside and at night and talk and lough loudly. This is part of the south Italian life. My wife, who lived in Florence as a student, loved it. I was struggling with going to sleep at first, but overcome this problem by wearing earplugs. Altogether - a Sicilian experience I can only recommend. i would not have missed it for the world. Thank you Mario, Eamon and Paola.
Perfektes Ferienhaus für die Familie
Unsere Familie 2 Erwachsene und 3 Teenager verbrachten 1 Woche in diesem wunderschönen Haus. Das Haus ist wirklich komplett ausgestattet, modern eingerichtet und zentral gelegen. Es ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet mit verschiedenen Accessoires und sehr gepflegt und sauber gehalten, was nicht immer selbstverständlich ist. Die Hilfsbereitschaft von Eamon per Telefon und auch von Paola und ihrer Familie war wirklich toll. Unser beliebtester Aufenthaltsort war die Terrasse mit dem super Ausblick aufs Meer, sodass es manchmal schwer fiel diesen Ort für diverse andere Aktivitäten zu verlassen.
Aufgrund der klimatisierten Zimmer ist es auch im Hochsommer bei 40-45° Aussentemperatur erträglich gewesen.
Wir würden dieses Top-Ferienhaus wirklich jedem weiterempfehlen.
We had a lovely stay at Casa Aranci
We had a lovely stay at Casa Aranci, and we would like to extend our sincere thanks to Mario and Eamon, the owners of this charming property, who were enormously kind and helpful not only in providing advice about how best to reach the many sights within the area, such as Etna, Catania, Taormina and Siracusa, but also in their assistance with making arrangements and negotiating with the local taxi service in addition to their recommendations on the many good restaurants within Acireale and elsewhere that would not otherwise be discovered by novice visitors. The well-equipped property, whose location is close to the church in Piazza Duomo, has a superb balcony from which to observe Sicilian life and enjoy beautiful sea views, especially at sundown with something cold and alcoholic; and is also in a great location to walk down to the quaint fishing village of Santa Maria La Scala to enjoy some excellent sea food and yet more beautiful sea views.
The old town of Acireale is lovely and remarkably un-touristy given its proximity to Catania. It also serves as a convenient base from which to visit other significant sights on the Ionian coast; and if you like baroque architecture and very good, traditional Sicilian restaurants which are also very reasonably priced (e.g. €55-€65 for a family of 5, including starters, such as caponata and bruschetta, and main courses of pasta and pizza washed down with a 1 litre of good house wine) then Acireale is the place to be! Furthermore, we had the good fortune of our visit coinciding with Acireale's Carnevale that also occurs in early August, as well as in February, which was also thoroughly worthwhile experience.
Finally, we had an excellent time in Acireale and on Sicily's Ionian coast, and this was in no small part due to the help of Casa Aranci’s very kind and hospitable owners, Mario and Eamon. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Casa Aranci to anyone looking to explore this lovely part of the world.
