A relaxing holiday in a villa with access to the sea and private countryside

The two-storey villa is located by the sea and is surrounded by a private garden and a private landscape. The town is located in a small fishing village. Next to it is the best fish restaurant, "Il Mulino" and to the left is the bar "La Timpa", famous for Aunt Tanina's homemade granita. Free platform and access to the sea in front of the house.

Going up into the garden, you will find outdoor showers and a third kitchen with barbecue. Continuing up in the garden you will find 5,000 square meters of citrus groves, medlars and countryside

two-storey villa divided as follows: on the ground floor there is a bedroom with bunk beds, a bathroom and laundry. On the first floor there is the kitchen, a living room, a bathroom and a bedroom with double bed, fan, very large wardrobe.in another room there is the living room with sofa bed and adjacent kitchen with dishwasher, microwave oven, television and bathroom with shower. Another outdoor kitchen with an old stone oven

The villa is totally surrounded by greenery, with its terraces of orange and medlar trees along the neutral reserve "La Timpa", a unique detail that makes the accommodation for guests quiet and relaxing. After taking a bath in the clean and crystalline waters in front of the house, a refreshing shower awaits you at home or in the garden while admiring the view of the port and Mount Etna. You can then relax on the lawn sipping an excellent wine. Next to the house there is a renowned restaurant of exquisite fish, "Il Mulino" and a few meters away, one of the best Sicilian granitas, 2 other restaurants and a pizzeria on the port. If you are a music lover, from July to August, usually Tuesdays and Fridays, you can listen to rock, country or blues concerts in the solarium located a couple of meters after the house. Particularly recommended, the feast of Our Lady of Santa Maria la Scala on the last Sunday of August, a picturesque event with a strong tourist attraction characterized by beautiful fireworks over the harbor, boat competition, the procession of the Madonnina and marine games. I wait for you to taste the homemade granita from Tanina, so good that it attracts swimmers from Taormina, Acitrezza and Acicastello, who dock their boats at the port of Santa Maria La Scala.

The accommodation is easily reachable by car (take the highway to Messina and exit at Acireale, follow the signs for Santa Maria la Scala), by train (get off at Acireale station and take the bus to Santa Maria, the terminus is in front of From there, start via Mulino and the accommodation is at number 96. There is a paid parking lot immediately after the bar 'La Timpa' or you can park next to the villa, in front of the restaurant “Il Mulino”. 2-storey seafront villa surrounded by meadows, terraces and countryside of 5000 square meters that extend along the Timpa nature reserve. 3 kitchens (2 external, 1 internal), ancient stone oven, external and internal showers; 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 living room.

Entire villa for rent.
Ideal for families and groups, this accommodation is the perfect place to stay with its beautiful garden areas and stunning views, Whatever your interests Photography, Art, Hiking, or just relaxing in the garden this would be the perfect place to stay, the rocky beach is just across the road and is ideal for snorkeling swimming or just sunbathing on the rocks. Or, if you’re interested in music, from July until August, on Tuesdays and Fridays, there are blues, country and rock concerts taking place on the solarium that is located a couple of meters opposite the house. The small fishing village has a small General store that stocks a selection of items. You can have a meal in the fish restaurant the Trattoria Scalo Grande that is delicious,you must also go to the Trattoria La Timpa to try the best Granita in Catania that Tanina makes. There is a Tourist Bus that will take you into Acireale ( check the bus times on the notice board by the small Church ), If you are there at midday you will hear the beautiful Church bells, you can if you wish make your way to the train station to catch the train to Catania or to Taormina, or walk back to Santa Maria La Scala along the beautiful Timpa nature trail ( downhill all the way from Acireale ) with its stunning sea views.
The fishing village of Santa Maria la Scala is today an uncontaminated village that continues over the years to preserve the natural and wild characteristics typical of La Timpa, a majestic hill overlooking both Etna and the sea, culminating with a breathtaking view that it even goes as far as the Calabrian coasts. Poetic, the fishermen's walk at dawn right in front of the house while they show and sell their fresh catch of the day. Spectacular and romantic, the view of the night lamps that illuminate the sea at night. The location of the house is strategic as it overlooks various public slopes overlooking the sea and a public solarium with paid sunbeds and free showers. The fresh cocktails in the solarium bar, also open at night, are delicious. But if you choose to take a trip one morning, you can opt for Taormina, the Etna volcano or even Syracuse, where, until the end of June, you can watch the Greek tragedies in the ancient Greek theater. The villa is located 10 minutes from Acireale, where I recommend you to admire the architectural beauties of the Duomo and the church of San Sebastiano.
