We would like to take you on a trip to the sunny shores of Sicily. A trip mystical harbours where Odysseus once ran ashore, to antic buildings erected by the Greeks and temples dating back to the time before Christ. This internetsite provides information about Sicily and presents our vacation rentals, which you can rent for your holidays.
Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean, famous for its archeological sites, its blue skies, wonderful beaches and mild winter climate. Sicily is also home to Mount Etna, Europe's largest active volcano. Everybody can find something interesting from nature to culture. The island was settled by several different populations such as Siculi, Phonecians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Moors, Normans, Spaniards and Bourbons, this means that they left a mark on the entire island, from the temples of Agrigento to the priceless mosaics of Piazza Armerina and the ancient capital of Siracusa, to Taormina, Erice, Cefalù. Smaller islands, such as the Aeolian, Aegadean and Pelagian chains as well as Pantelleria, just 90 miles off of the African coast, are also part of Sicilia, offering superb beaches.
The holiday home Melo is located in the house of our uncle Carmelo Cannavó in the village Calatabiano. The holiday home stretches over the whole upper floor of the two storeyed house and from the big terrace you have a fantastic view over the mountains.
On this page we want to provide information about the vacation cottage Maria on Sicily, near Taormina and Giardini Naxos in the little village Calatabiano.
The holiday home Paolo is situated at the foot of the Etna, somewhat outside of the village Santa Venerina and not far from the port town Acireale, a health resort with hot springs which was constructed in Baroque style. From the holiday home you easily reach destinations like Taormina, Castelmola, the Parco dell’ Etna and Gola dell’ Alcantara and the sea also is not far away (ca. 8km).
In a picturesque bay lies the settlement Baia del Silenzio, what can be translated as “bay of silence”. Here, directly at the sea with a view over the bay, resides the holiday home Mare. A southbound terrace offers space to have breakfast in the sun and to dangle your soul.
The holiday home Antonella lies in Agnone Bagni directly at the sea in a two-storey house. The holiday home spreads over the entire upper floor of the two-storey house and from the big terrace you have a fantastic view over the beach onto the sea and over the entire bay; you even can admire the Etna from here.
The holiday homes lie at the north coast of Sicily between Palermo (ca. 20km away) and Cefalú near the little town St. Flavia.
