Typisches Landhaus - Santa Venerina

Nice property, in a very quiet and tranquil location. Excellent view of Mount Etna from roof terrace. Owner very prompt and approachable, Clear and detailed information about the property and the area.

We had a very good time at House of Camelia.

It is a quiet place.

The owners are very friendly and always willing to help when ever needed.

A clean well equipped cottage right in the middle of a lemon grove. You will need a car but there is plenty to do around and good local shops and supermarkets. The highlight is a roof terrace that allows for a great view of etna. The beds were comfortable and the inside remained cool even when over 30 outside.

The hosts were very helpful, ensuring great directions for our night time arrival and they also responded quickly when we had some plumbing issues. There is also a helpful local guide provided.

sicily is a great place for a family holiday, beaches, good food and adventures such as our trip up etna. This property will provide a relaxing and convenient base with hosts that are welcoming and always on hand for advice if required.

We had a great time staying in this smart apartment located within a gated community with a shared pool (bathing hats required!). It had all that we needed for our stay. Being outside Catania meant that it was easy to explore the eastern half of Sicily by hire car without battling with the city traffic! The apartment was clean and comfortable for our week away and the owners met us and helpfully showed us to the complex and explained the necessary practicalities.

Highlights of our holiday included the wonderful mosaics at Villa Romana del Casale, the amphitheatre and theatre at Syracuse, Taormeana (including the Grak / Roman theatre), swimming in the sea nearby and climbing Etna (beware the fumes and the strong winds at 3,300m!!). Our hosts were very helpful and the written advice on where to eat and what to sea proved a great help. Our meals out were very affordable and of excellent quality with seafood and pizza the favourites.

We had a lovely stay in the Casa della Camelia. The weather was fabulous, mid thirties every day - long hot nights under the vines watching the lizards scurry around and listening to Mount Etna rumbling made for a very special and memorable holiday.

We loved the ice cream places and the pistachio pastries. We found (almost) private rocks to swim from and bask in the sunshine.

Sadly we did not meet Cinzia who was away, but Nunzio answered all our queries and was very gracious.

Definitely a hidden gem!

Thank you!
