About this property

Waterfront apartment, with two bedrooms and terrace with sea and Etna view

Bright waterfront apartment with breathtaking views. From the spacious balcony that runs almost all around the apartment, guests enjoy the wide blue sea as well as Mount Etna, and its shows of lava and smoke.

The apartment is located on the third and last floor (without elevator) of a building right on the promenade of the quiet village of Stazzo. Halfway between Catania and Taormina, Casa Nettuno is ideal for families and friends who want to explore the East side of Sicily and come back to a quiet home where to continue enjoying the natural beauty that this island has to offer.

Restaurants and little shops are all within walking distance. From the lava rocks just below the house you can plunge directly into the sea. In summer (July and August) wooden stairs are built on the lava rocks in order to facilitate the access to the water.

The apartment has 2 comfortable double bedrooms and a spacious living area, all with access to the panoramic balcony. There is also a bathroom with shower and a well-equipped kitchen. The balcony is furnished with lounge chairs, umbrella and a table where to enjoy a scenic breakfasts.

For the fish lovers, 1 km away is another village, called Pozzillo, with a small, authentic harbour where fishermen still daily pull up their colourful boats onto the black lava beach. In its square there is a small woodshed where you can buy fresh fish early in the morning.

We had a wonderful stay, explored Sicily's east coast, location was central to everything we wanted to do as well as the beach. Giulia was very responsive, helpful and we had everything we needed. Had the most amazing time, thanks again Giulia!

Beautiful apartment with amazing view of the ocean and Mount Etna (my favorite view at sunset). Very spacious for my family of 4, and has everything that we need. The location is perfect for us to make easy day trips to Catania, Mount Etna and Taormina. Thank you Maria for helping us check in and showing us around the apartment. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone who's looking to set up a homebase for exploring the east coast of Sicily!

The appartment is situated beautifully in a small town called Stazzo, with an amazing view over the sea and lava rocks. Giulia and Franco were great hosts; super kind, helped us find a rental car and came to the rescue when we had some issues with the battery. We had a really good stay here, would definitely recommend.

The apartment is very beautiful , spacious well equipped and with amazing views from the sea and the Etna . Maria and Franco , the owners themselves were the most hospitable people I met in Airbnb they really took care of us , a real home away from home experience . Stazzo is a gorgeous little village the apartment has shops and restaurants around the corner for groceries and out dining the location from Stazzo is very convenient not far from Taormina and other wonderful sites .

Review for stay from 26 August 2020 to 31 August 2020

We had such a great time here! We had a bit of trouble finding it at first and Maria and her husband were gracious enough to meet us and help us find parking. The place is lovely and has a spectacular view both of the water which is lovely for sunrise and of Mt. Etna for sunset. We really loved the location of Acireale as it was both close to the airport and central for day trips to both Taormina and Syracuse. The apartment was also quite spacious and had all the amenities to make it a comfortable stay. Definitely will be recommending this place to friends visiting Sicily. Enjoy!

Very nice welcome with fruits and cake. Everything was clean and fully equiped. Good location, Supermarkt nearby. Prices for Restaurant, Coffeeshop are cheap. The Ocean is just 5 meters from the house with a very nice snackshop, Sunbeds and Umbrellas are for rent there. The View from the Balcony is just a dream. We would come back any time. Thank you to Maria and Franco.

Review for stay from 17 August 2024 to 24 August 2024

We had an amazing stay at the apartment - it was a rare find that it is even better in real life than the photo's online! The apartment itself is beautiful and full of character and charm, beautiful terrazzo floors and cool furniture. Everything works well and is very clean. The real star though is the rap around terrace with incredible uninterrupted views of the sea at the front and Etna at the back. Its the highest apartment so not overlooked and very private. We loved sitting out at night sipping drinks and playing cards and watching the sun go down behind Etna. Stazzo is a great base for seeing the east coast with a toll road (very cheap) that takes you up to Taormina in about half an hour. If you chose to stay in Stazzo there's amazing places to swim right opposite the apartment from one of the pontoons or just off the rocks into the warm sea. There's great restaurants in walking distance and everything is very reasonably priced. We'll definitely come back and explore more!

Review for stay from 08 February 2019 to 15 February 2019

This apartment is really fantastic. The sea at one side and Etna at the other - just like in the description. The rooms were light and spacious and the kitchen was very well equipped. Parking just in front of the house was no problem at all (in February). There wasn’t very much to discover in the close neighborhood but we had rented a car and therefore it was easy to get around. The contact persons Maria and Franco were really accommodation - solved a small issue very fast and had even sweeties, local oranges and lemons from their haven and even a little gift for us. I can just recommend this apartment to any visitor of Sicily :-)

Review for stay from 01 October 2024 to 08 October 2024

The hosts were very responsive and very helpful. We were first greeted by the keyholders and they were lovely. They gave us clear instructions, tips and checked in on us during our stay. The apartment was clean and spacious. The bathroom and kitchen were in good working order, we didn't have any issues with water or plumbing. The AC worked very well. Stunning views of the Ionian Sea and Mount Etna. If you don't rent a car, I highly recommend you have a local driver to get you around. To get to Taormina from this apartment, it took approximately 45 minutes maybe close to an hour, depending on traffic. One warning, there is no elevator, only several flights of stairs to get to the apartment. So if you have small children or mobility issues, this might not be for you. I really enjoyed staying at this apartment and would definitely come back.

Review for stay from 10 April 2022 to 15 April 2022

We had a lovely stay at Casa Nettuno. The casa matches the photos and the views from the balcony are stunning. We were a couple staying at the location, but the casa is large and would nicely accommodate a family or two couples. We had dinner in the small square, but also cooked for ourselves with food we purchases at a small local market. There is a nice gelato and pastry shop in the square as well. We had a car and went on day trips to Siracusa, Toarmina and Etna. But just lounging at the the casa and listening to the waves crash on the rocks was top notch relaxation. The hosts greeted us promptly and were available for travel suggestions and general advice. We were able to park on the street fairly easily, on weekends there were more locals and parking was a little more difficult. You will need to bring your own bath amenities and it is a fourth floor walk up. We loved our days here.

Review for stay from 06 July 2019 to 16 July 2019

Although we have travelled and stayed in a lot of places, this stay has surely been the best we have ever experienced! Our wonderful holiday has started with fast and clear communication with the hosts, who are a wonderful couple. Thank to their flexibility, they waited for us although our arrival time was really late. Throughout our stay, we have had a lot of questions, all of which were answered by our hosts in the most friendly and useful manner. They have even taken us to the place where the freshest fish can be bought, in the early morning! Regarding the place, the view will be the most breathtaking you can ever find on Sicily, with the Etna volcano and the beach accessible from a huge balcony with comfortable chairs and sofas. The kitchen has all the necessary dishes and facilities needed in order to prepare everything you can basically cook. The rooms are spacious and all are air-conditioned. Also, the location allows you to dive into the sea just in a minute after you close the entrance door, which has made our stay comfortable and easy! Long story short, Mr Franco and Ms. Maria Giarratana are the best example of hosts, and Casa Nettuno is definitely the best choice you will find for a stay on Sicily! 100 out of 10!

Casa ampia, luminosa e in una posizione fantastica, letteralmente sul mare, con una vista che spazia dall'Etna a Messina e Catania. E un piacere passare la serata sul balcone e risvegliarsi con il mare in faccia. Ci siamo trovati benissimo e i sig.ri Giarratana sono stati veramente gentili, prodighi di un sacco di buoni consigli che abbiamo seguito con piacere. Meglio di cosi' non potevamo sperare.

Prachtig appartement. Het terras maakt het fantastisch, waar je de zee en de Etna kunt zien. Centraal gelegen tussen Cantania, de Etna en Taormina. De eigenaren stonden bij aankomst ons op te wachten. Ze zijn zeer aardig en hulpvaardig. Er is overigens ook een Lavazza espresso (soort van nespresso) apparaat in het appartement aanwezig, waar je heerlijke koffie mee kunt zetten.
