SURROUNDINGS
Villa EtnAmare lies only 500 metres away from Santa Venerina. This quiet, landscaped town of 8000 inhabitants is dedicated to gastronomic tourism and offers an impressive number of excellent cafes, restaurants and wineries, many of which are within walking distance.
Two supermarkets and a couple of groceries and bakeries are 5 minutes walk, while the nearest shopping mall, Conforama, which is open even on Sunday, is at 10 minutes driving distance.
Santa Venerina is an excellent base from which to explore eastern Sicily, thanks to its very strategic position halfway between Catania and Taormina.
The town is 5 minutes drive from the motorway A18 Catania-Messina from which, in an average time of 20 minutes, you can reach the highlights of Eastern Sicily, such as Taormina, Alcantara Gorge, Catania, Acicastello, Acireale, Mt Etna and Giardini Naxos. The nearest beaches can be found at 10 minutes drive.
The villa is also an excellent starting point from which to explore Mount Etna and its surroundings. Rifugio Sapienza, the main ski area, where you can take the Etna cableway up to Mount Etna is 10 km away from the villa.
The sun of Sicily holds the record in Europe and maintains a mild climate throughout the year. Spring is the ideal time to enjoy the culture and nature that this island has to offer. It’s well worth making a trip just to experience the Easter processions, bringing together folklore and tradition in an incredibly mystic way. The interior is spectacular, with the mountain slopes exploding in colour, while on the coast the first bathers start taking to the beaches. In autumn, throughout October and mid-November, the sea water is still warmed by the summer sun, and the daytime temperature still reaches 30°c during the warmest hours. Festivals dedicated to local products such as wine, mushrooms and sweets are organized in many towns on the slopes of Etna. Our apartments are suitable for winter, Christmas and New Year. The weather between December and March can often be mild and sunny, but each of the apartments have a cozy quality allied to good heating systems and plenty of indoor space just in case!
