great place, lovely owners!

Staying in this 19th century villa was the best part of our holiday in Sicily. The house has its specific, historical charm, it is just 20 meters from the beach, you sleep excellent and hear the sea waves in the vicinity. But what is more important are the owners, Eugenia and Mauricius, and Gabi, who will make you feel at home. Always helpfulful, but never intrusive, provdiing the best tips and often small surprises as a piece of fruit or a nice glass of wine. We enjoyed our stay fully!

Perfect place for beach holiday in Sicily

We stayed for a week in the comfortable small apartement with a nice bedroom (kingsize bed), a perfectly equipped kitchen (gas), ensuite bathroom and private patio where we had breakfast in the sun. The apartement and the linen were clean, hot water for showers always worked (boiler). The clean sandy beach is literally just 20sec away and has a beach bar, also the Scala Dei Turci (white-washed cliffs) could be reached in walking distance (10min). The car can be parked just off the house. Our hosts Maurizio, Eugenia and Marco were overwhelmingly friendly and helpful with anything, it was a real pleasure meeting them. We had a very very pleasant time and would recommend this apartement to any couple who want to enjoy a lovely holiday. Nadine and Sven from Germany

The perfect getaway on the beach of Sicilian seaside town realmonte. The hosts were amazing.

Where should I start. Hosts Eugenia and Maurizio were amazing hosts and we could t have asked for a more perfect stay literally on the beach at realmonte. The beach is only about 70m from the front door and if you ask for the upstairs apartment we stayed up that faces the ocean you can see the ocean lapping at the shore from your bed. The apartment is so large and has fans that are great to keep you cool in the peak of summer. The place is also only a short stroll to the famous white walls that is the perfect spot to watt the sun set each night. If you have a car you can park on the street at the back of the property and if it is peak busy summer here is a local car park not far from the house. The balcony is also the perfect place to have a few wines at night, and if you feel like doing your own cooking there is a gas stove on site as well as a microwave. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone. Thanks for your hospitality Eugenia and Maurizio.

Bene ma migliorabile

Abbiamo soggiornato nella villa in Agosto 2024, nell'appartamento posto al primo piano.Trattasi di una dimora antica che seppur in buono stato manutentivo, necessiterebbe di una "svecchiata' per rendere l'ambiente più fresco. Seppur la vicinanza al mare rappresenti un plus, l'accesso alla struttura risulta davvero scomodo, dal momento che bisogna necessariamente transitare dalla spiaggia. Ciò rende complicata la fase di carico/scarico bagagli, nonostante il carrello messo a disposizione dai proprietari. Il parcheggio, come da descrizione, in loco ma a pagamento, con tariffa convenzionata. Avrei gradito saperlo prima della prenotazione e non dopo. Accoglienza adeguata con piccoli doni (uva e fichi) graditi. Un atteggiamento meno formale avrebbe reso il soggiorno piú piacevole. avrebbe reso il soggiorno più grgrapiacevole.

Ho ricevuto grande soddisfazione dal soggiorno a Casa Ciotta. Ok per chi apprezza cultura e bellezza

La Sig.ra Eugenia è parte integrante del valore di questo luogo, rendendolo adatto a chi apprezza la cultura e la raffinatezza. La struttura è posta in posizione strategicamente comoda per un immediato accesso alla spiaggia e per godersi la spettacolare vista sul mare. È la casa ideale per chi ama confrontarsi ed integrarsi con il contesto e la bellezza di questi luoghi. Eugenia è una donna generosa e molto raffinata, i suoi preziosi consigli sono stati utili nella scelta dei nostri itinerari.

Superb position right on the beach. So close to Scala dei Turchi.

The property is an old villa that has been made into several apartments. Gabriella was a saint and assisted us with suggestions of places to eat and made sure we had everything we needed. The sea water was warm and the position perfect! I wish I was still there. Thank you.

Wunderbare Lage am Meer. Toller Ausblick vom Balkon auf das Meer. Auto erforderlich, Parkplatz in der Nähe möglich. Die Ausstattung der Wohnung sehr geschmackvoll. Ideal für zwei Personen. Wir haben uns bei Eugenia und Mauricio sehr gut aufgenommen gefühlt. Die Kommunikation in Englisch funktionierte gut. Das Haus ist von einem schönen Garten umgeben. Das Baden im Meer ist traumhaft gewesen! Danke für alles!

Superb historic house on the beach

We very much enjoyed our stay in this wonderful turn of the century house located right on the beach in Realmonte. We rented both appartments and both are very tastefully decorated, well maintained, bright and comfortable. The front-facing appartment has two balconies overlooking the beach, large enough to sit out on. The area is quiet and it's only a 10 minute walk along the beach to Scala dei Turchi. Eugenia was an excellent host, meeting us in the nearby carpark on our arrival and was very helpful about places to see in the area. We very much hope to return.

schöne geräumige und gepflegte Wohnung in alter Villa mit direktem Strandzugang

Wir haben hier eine wunderschöne Woche im September verbracht; Eugenia und Maurizio waren reizende Gastgeber und wir haben uns wirklich wohl gefühlt. Die Wohnung liegt im ersten Stock, ist sehr komfortabel und geräumig und hat eine Terrasse nach hinten (diese könnte man allerdings ein bisschen aufwerten, z. B. mit bequemeren Sitzmöbeln, vielleicht einer Liege oder auch mit Pflanzen). Man kommt durch den Garten direkt zum Strand, sodass wir täglich schwimmen konnten. Man kann direkt zur Scala die Turchi laufen und wir haben dort öfters auf den Stufen den Sonnenuntergang genossen. Alles in allem ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt. Danke Eugenia

A wonderful holiday

Perfect location with direct access onto a beautiful beach with good restaurants a short walk along the beach in both directions which is great if like us you prefer not to drive at night. The house is charming, comfortable with everything one could possible need. Eugenia and Maurizio are the most charming hosts. Added bonus was the perfect weather for our entire stay.

Apartment in schönem alten Haus mit Meerblick und Meeresrauschen

Wir haben ein paar ruhige erholsame Tage verbracht. Die Vermieter waren sehr gastfreundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Apartment war sehr geräumig, schön eingerichtet und sauber. Ein idealer Ausgangspunkt zum Besuch von Agrigento, den Tempeln und dem Scala dei Turchi. Der Strand liegt direkt vor der Tür, bei wärmeren Wassertemperaturen wären wir häufig ins Meer gesprungen.

Christmas 2016 in Casa Ciotta

Coming from the Cold in Germany we found a wonderful place in the South of Sicily, Casa Ciotta with two extraordinary gentle hosts, Eugenia and Maurizio. The house is very charming and additionally was beautifully decorated with a very pleasant and cozy atmosphere. At daytime we enjoyed long walks at the beach in warm sun light or visited the Scala dei Turchi and the Valle dei Templi, in the evenings the villa was heated and warm even if it became a little cold outside. Eugenia and Maurizio are very helpful, showed us around and gave us the insider tips that make you feel like home. The dolci, the fruit, the limoncello, everything was delicious and delightful. Again a huge Thank You for your hospitality, dear Eugenia and Maurizio!

Amazing Villa on the Beach

We spent an amazing time here. The villa is located directly on the beach, you walk through the gate and there you are. We had 2 apartments, both were very beatiful and everything was clean. The hosts(family Ciotta) are very kind and always helpful. The location is also very convenient. You can reach the "scala dei turchi" within a 10 min walk. I recommend this place to everybody that loves to be near to the beach in a beatiful house& and likes to have nice company. I hope to come back again. Best regards Gianluca& famiglia

Splendida dimora storica a due passi dalla storia

Casa Ciotta ci ha ospitato nella nostra ultima tappa nella meravigliosa Sicilia. Che dire... dopo aver goduto dello splendido mare e dell'emozionante Etna, esserci calati nella storia e nella cultura millenaria dell'isola e aver assaporato l'ottima cucina siciliana, ecco la ciliegina sulla torta: una villa del 19° secolo sul mare, carica di storia, a due passi dalla Scala dei Turchi e dalla Valle dei Templi! L'appartamento, comodo e funzionale, dispone di ogni comfort; bella la terrazza fronte mare per serate in relax in compagnia di un libro, un buon bicchiere di vino e il sottofondo delle onde. Un grazie particolare a Eugenia, Maurizio e Gabriella, che con la loro accoglienza, cortesia e gentilezza ci hanno fatti sentire come a casa. E' stato un vero piacere conoscergli.

una vera casa lontano da casa

Spl endida scelta per le nostre vacanze, 2 adulti e una bimba di 2 anni, all arrivo, siamo rimasti colpiti dell ampiezza degli spazi, dalla posizione fronte mare su di una spiaggia di sabbia fine. L ambiente è rustico, la cucina ben attrezzata, il bagno piccolo, ma pulito e funzionale, lo spazio esterno un oasi di pace e riservatezza. La proprietaria, Gabriella, sempre disponibile e generosa di ottimi consigli. Portoempedocle è facilmente raggiungibile, quindi ristoranti e negozi accessibili, la spiaggia è in parte occupata da un piccolo bagno attrezzato con servizio di ristorazione, la spiaggia libera di sabbia fine offre un facile accesso al mare anche ai più piccoli, la scala dei turchi è raggiungibile a piedi. Direi ottima soluzione sia per coppie che per famiglie, la disponibilità della proprietaria è stata la ciliegina sulla torta.
