About this property

Contemporary tiny-house (24 m2) with a spacious covered terrace nestled in a sunny/well tended/fenced property and surrounded by a gourmand garden with vines, olives and citrus trees. This is the perfect getaway for a single person or a couple who wants to enjoy contemporary design and the Sicilian country life.

Casa Tamì is located on the slope of Mount Etna within the property of an Italian-Dutch family who lives in the main house at 200 m with theirs kids, chow chow dogs, chickens and a cock.

The house consists of a single open space with an equipped kitchen, a double bed (160x200m) and a semi-opened (walk-in) bathroom with shower. The terrace is made even more welcoming with a quality sofa and two comfortable deck chairs.

Casa Tamì has a private access and a parking place within a peaceful residence, that includes other 6 villas.

The owner produces wine and offers a tasting experience with excursion to his favorite vineyard which is located on an extinct crater of Mt Etna at only 1 km from Casa Tamì.

During your stay you will be able to easily explore Mt Etna and discover all the local products, the city of Catania and the fisherman’s villages on the coast. The Mediterranean Sea is at 8 km at Acitrezza, a one-of-a-kind village, rich in good restaurants and ice scream parlours.

Other cafes and restaurants can be found even closer to the house, in the villages of Viagrande and Trecastagni at 5 minutes by car.

Parking within the residence.

Schönes Tiny-House. Genau wie auf den Bildern zu sehen. Es war ganz toll, dass sich das Haus in einer ruhigen Gegend befindet! Es war wunderbar am Morgen und am Abend auf der Veranda. Einzig was für uns etwas ungewohnt war, ist das Badezimmer. Es ist nur durch eine Glaswand vom restlichen Raum getrennt und daher nicht wirklich Privat… Zusammenfassend haben wir unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen!

Alles war perfekt! Auch wenn die Unterkunft in der Nähe des Hauses der Gastgeberin liegt wohnt man ganz privat, der Garten ist traumhaft. Wir durften uns Saft aus den Orangen pressen und die Kommunikation war unkompliziert und freundlich. Das Haus und die Terrasse sind sehr morden und gut ausgestattet. WIr würden gerne wieder kommen und können die Unterkunft nur empfehlen!

Perfect place to stay near lots of things to do! Easy to drive to Etna, Catania, Taormina, and more. When we were t exploring, we enjoyed relaxing on the patio. The place was lovely and Giulia was so helpful – she even left us a bottle of natural wine from her vineyard! We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you!

We loved the house, it is in a beautiful and peaceful area. Ir was our favorite place of the trip. Near to Catania and Etna volcano, its is very well located. Tiziana and Joris, the hosts were very welcoming and we visited their vineyards in Mo te Trigona. It was a wonderful experience to get to know local people, local food (antipastis cooked by them) and the natural wine they make themselves. A must ir your stay in this house!!

Giulia’s place is a perfect getaway from the hectic big city. It exceeded our expectations with its harmonious ambiance, and we didn’t want to leave the place even during the day. The house has everything you might need for a short stay. We also cooked dinners on the BBQ with produce bought from the store Giulia suggested. Viagrande is a lovely city with some delicious spots to eat, again recommended by Giulia. The location is great for exploring different places - a 20-minute drive to Catania, 15 minutes to Nicolosi if you plan to hike Mount Etna, and 20 minutes to the lovely coastal town of Aci Castello, where we really enjoyed swimming. Giulia also gifted us with olive oil and a bottle of natural wine that they produce, which were incredibly delicious. We highly recommend the place and would love to visit again ourselves.

I spent 5 days like a dream. I started my day with the sound of birds and the warm sunshine every morning in a house with a garden full of lemon tree, orange tree, and herbs, as if in a movie. I can see the stars in the sky at night, and the quiet and private accommodation was so attractive and beautiful. This house made my honeymoon perfect. I will choose this place again for my next trip to Sicily. Thank you for the kind host, the keyholder.

Unsere Woche war wunderbar. Das Haus ist zwar klein, aber bietet alles, was du brauchst. Es ist absolut ruhig und mitten im Grünen. Orangen für einen frischen Saft oder Zitronen für den Drink wachsen direkt im Garten. Das Wetter war noch etwas kühl, aber in der Sonne auf der Terrasse konnten wir schon sitzen. Eine klare Empfehlung.

This place is a little slice of heaven. The property was beautiful and we had a great stay. It is so quiet and the outdoor garden space was great. It was easy to check in and check out. It had everything we needed. Good wifi. One thing is that the divider between the bathroom and the bedroom is made of glass so just make sure you are comfortable using the bathroom in front of whoever you are staying with. Thank you for a great stay!

Review for stay from 12 November 2022 to 19 November 2022

this place is a beautiful stay away from the busy life in a city center! amazing vineyard location with a great garden to eat and drink. orange and lemon trees and all in all great views. the hosts organize a wine tour for a small fee which was really wonderful! we rented a car to get their which is crucial. it's a bit out of a the center and even though it's close to catania, you really do need a car. from here though we made dar trips out to Taormina and Syracuse for example and they were easy enough drives. the internet is fast so whilst relaxing you can play music from the Bluetooth speaker! The shower stays warm enough for two quickish showers, but does get cold if your too long! not an issue as far as we were concerned but good to know.

Ein wunderschönes Haus inmitten einer Orangenplantage. Es bietet jeden Komfort und ist total schön eingerichtet. Wer die Ruhe liebt ist an diesem Ort genau richtig. Die Kommunikation vor Ort ist herzlich und das Check-in kann ohne Stress alleine mit Anweisungen verrichtet werden. Wir hatten eine super Zeit und würden diesen Ort bei einem nächsten Besuch gleich wieder buchen.

Review for stay from 13 August 2022 to 16 August 2022

This place has a unique location close to both Etna, Taormina and Catania. The surroundings are beautiful and generally quiet except when the neighborhood dogs are barking at each other. The architecture of the house and the garden is a dream. We already miss the quiet mornings on the terrace. As other guests also point out the bathroom is not very private with a glass wall that does not go all the way to the ceiling. We really enjoyed our stay though

We had a wonderful stay at Giulia's. The location was absolutely perfect to explore the east of Sicily - Etna, Taormina, Messina and Catania all so easily within reach. The house itself was amazing - nestled in a vineyard, and looking down towards Catania. It felt so special and unique. We really appreciated the little touches, like the wine and olive oil made onsite, and felt very welcome. We'll definitely stay there again when we come back to treck up Etna!

Review for stay from 14 May 2022 to 18 May 2022

The setting of the house is beautiful and quiet, but still close to Catania and surrounding villages. We very much enjoyed breakfast on the terrace. It is a tiny house, which was clear from the description, but enough for two people that know each other well.
