Description
On a rocky outcrop right above the sea in a traditional fishing village close to the town of Acireale is luxurious Villa Sul Mare. The villa's seafront position means clear and unspoilt views over the water, nearby marina and dramatic lava rock formations. Villa Sul Mare also offers direct sea access, with a terrace letting you slip into the water with ease.
Halfway between Catania and Taormina, the baroque town of Acireale is just 15 minutes away by car. Sandy beaches, ancient sites and fascinating towns and cities all await with a stay at Villa Sul Mare.
And this five-bedroom villa is a wonder in itself. All accommodation is set on the first floor, with most rooms opening directly onto the main terrace. The white, modern interior feels fresh and bright. And elegant pops of colour reflect the blues, greys and neutral tones of the surrounding coastal landscapes. Marine-inspired art and furnishings made from natural materials create a look that channels beach house vibes.
After days of sun, sea, sand and sightseeing, let the sofa in the open-plan living/dining space take the weight off. The sea is a constant presence here, with views over the water through doors that lead out to the main terrace. Relax and dine indoors or enjoy al-fresco drinks and dinners on the terrace. Each en-suite bedroom is as refined as the communal spaces, with terrace or balcony terrace access. Start every morning with a deep breath of sea air and end nights with drinks under the stars.
Stargazing is just as special in and around Villa Sul Mare's pretty gardens. The draped gazebo with sofa is an especially romantic spot. But the highlight is most definitely the long swimming pool that overlooks the sparkling sea.
Sandy beaches that are easy to reach from Villa Sul Mare include those in the Giardini Naxos and Recanati areas. There's also Mazzarò, Isola Bella, and the golden stretch of La Playa in the city of Catania to visit. Iconic Mount Etna can be reached in less than an hour by car. /n Security deposit /n €1000 paid in cash to the owner upon arrival and refunded upon departure, subject to full inspection. /n Arrival time /n 4.00 p.m. - 9.00 p.m. /n Departure time /n 8.00 a.m. - 10.00 a.m. /n Energy costs included? /n Yes. /n Heating costs included? /n Yes. /n End of stay cleaning included? /n Yes.
