About this property

spectacular location directly above the sea, incredible view of the sea, Etna ..

The Villa Saraceno is located in a closed residential area, in which a tennis court, bar and a grocery store (seasonal operation) are available. Otherwise there are restaurants and shops on the road from Catania (approx. 25 km) to Syracuse (approx. 35 km), which at the same time ensures good connections to the area of Syracuse, Noto and the area of Catania, Etna. Villa Augusta guests can dine at a fixed price in Tenuta di Roccadia, a few kilometers away.
There are various ways to take a refreshing dip: a few meters from the house there is a path (approx. 150 steps) to the rocky coast, approx. 450 m away is a cove with rock and sand that can be reached on foot, but also the long sandy beach the Catania plain can be reached by car in a few minutes.
The enclosed plot of the quietly located villa has driveway, a parking space and an outdoor shower per apartment, spacious panoramic outdoor areas and an immense roof terrace that offers a wide view of the sea and the countryside.
The double villa half (approx. 115 sqm) enjoys an absolutely spectacular location directly above the sea with an incredible view of the sea, the Catania plain and Mount Etna, which dominates the backdrop! The stretch of coast that connects to the long sandy beach south of Catania is called Costa Saracena, it is a varied rocky coast with individual bathing bays, some with sand.

The house offers living-dining room with 2 couches, armchairs, satellite.-TV, air conditioning unit and large panoramic door to the panoramic terrace directly above the rocky coast, kitchen (new kitchen block, ***, dishwasher and washing machine) with exit to a side panoramic veranda, 2 bedrooms (both with air conditioning unit) and bathroom (walled shower corner) ; an internal staircase for the lower ground floor (pleasantly cool in summer, relatively humid in the transition months) into a large Bedroom with panoramic window on the sea and private bathroom. The equipment is very good for the absolute proximity to the sea, many parts have been renewed, beautiful original stone floor .... The last complete renovation was carried out in 2013!
Extra: from approx. In the middle / end of June to mid-September, the pool (approx. 15 m x 8 m) of a community of owners can be used at no extra charge! If desired, the pool of the nearby Roccadia estate can be used from Easter and until the end of October.

Impressions de sejour mitigés
Quelle difficulté de trouver la location, les indications données n'apportent rien. Il serait bon de disposer d'un plan d'accès. Difficulté de communiquer avec les propriétaires. Obligé de serendre sur une aire de station service pour pour avoir contact avec les propriétaires qui nous ont guidé vers la location. Une fois sur place, place au voisinage, ou quand les autres locataires vous intime de faire attention au portail qui doit maintenu fermé à cause de leur chien qui pendant tout notre séjour aboie fréquemment sans que cela ne choque ses propriétaires. Puis finalement tente un contact en vous spécifiant "maintenant on peut parler". Bonjour les soirées subies de ces voisins musique forte et palabres de nombreuses personnes. Et ne vous amusez pas de leur faire la remarque il vous réponde qu'en Italie la musique c'est jusqu'au bout de la nuit.echange non moins cordiaux quand le compteur général disjoncte, c'est de votre faute, nous nous sommes sentis indésirables. Attention il y a deux logements identiques mitoyens et les photos ne correspondaient pas à notre logement (A) mais a celui de nos (charmants voisins) logement (B). L'impression générale est d'être dans une prison dorée. La location est un peu loin de toute activité (restos, bras, ou plus simplement balades). Pour le côté positif une vue impressionnante sur la mer catane et l'etna. Un spa à disposition a été le bienvenu au vu des fortes chaleurs. Un autre point positif la rapidité de venue à notre location, nous sommes rentrés de nuit et au moment de mettre la clé dans la serrure la porte d'entrée, celle-ci s'est cassée dedans, nous avons appelé et 1/2 heure après des personnes venaient avec une autre clé.

prachtig uitzicht : zee + Etna
Prima qua inrichting en uitrusting, zeer behulpzame staf (Piero en anderen), maar moeilijk te vinden en lastig parcours om aan de Villa Saracena te geraken. Mogelijkheid om boodschappen te doen te ver (zo'n 12 km). Zeer rustige ligging. Wij geven 7/10 en dat alleen wegens de moeilijke bereikbaarheid.

Belle location avec vue splendide
Belle location avec une vue splendide sur la mer et l Etna. Location située dans un environnement très calme à condition d avoir des voisins qui le sont car il s agit d un appartement mitoyen et d une terrasse séparée par un claustra ajouré en bois. Une séparation plus occultante pour limiter le vis à vis serait appréciable. Les commerces annoncés sont fermés en juillet. Location très propre avec trois chambres dont une en sous sol avec fenêtre et deux autres climatisées. La cuisine est équipée d un four mais sans plat adapté. Le fait de pouvoir garer une voiture était bienvenu. L accès à la piscine de la résidence à enjouer nos enfants. Nous avons apprécié son aspect sécurisant avec une partie peu profonde, nos deux enfants ne sageant pas nager. La piscine est surveillée par une personne très sympa parlant français. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l accueil chaleureux des propriétaires. Merci à Pietro et à son épouse. Nous avons passé très bon séjour. Nous avons sillonné sur la côte Est de Stromboli à Noto.

Vue magnifique sur Etna et la baie de Catane
Nous avons passé 3 agréables semaines à la Villa en août 2015. La villa est très confortable avec une grande terrasse qui surplombe la mer. L'endroit est très calme sauf vers minuit certains soirs, où il peut y avoir de la musique en provenance des plages d'en face pendant 2 heures. Les pièces sont de bonnes tailles et la climatisation dans les chambres est appréciable. Une supérette dans la résidence permet d'avoir les éléments de première nécessité sur place. La piscine, grande et chauffée, se trouve à 200 m donc très proche de la villa. La villa est bien située pour visiter tout le Sud Est de l'île. Les plages de proximité sont rocheuses. La première plage de sable intéressante se trouve à 1/4 h en voiture. Une voiture est indispensable et les visites nécessitent souvent entre 1/2 h et 2 h de route. Nous recommandons cette adresse.

A great view and a comfortable villa
The view is the best thing about this villa, which is comfortable and well-equipped and only a short (but steep) walk to the sea. The only negatives are the two indoor showers, which flooded the bathrooms whenever we used them to the point that we gave up and used the outside one. The pool is a five-minute walk away and is clean and wasn't crowded, but it does have limited opening hours so it wasn't ideal. The people who run the pool also seemed reluctant to let us use it until the villa owner, Pietro, had a word with a them. Despite that, the villa is good value, Pietro and his staff are very helpful and friendly, and the food and products at his farm/hotel are excellent. The villa is inside a large gated holiday community with just one small shop and a pub/pizzeria, which does excellent pizzas. There are regular visits by vans selling icecream, bread and pastries and fruit and vegetables. The villa is well-placed for exploring Etna, Catania and Siracusa but a car is essential. The villa's steep drive makes accessibility difficult for anyone using a wheelchair.
