Amazing Aci Castello
This was the most amazing apartment. The pool and garden are incredible as is the apartment itself. We loved swimming in the morning, driving to find a great beach in the afternoons, (Aci Trezza, Taormina (Isola Bella), Playa di Catania, Noto), and BBQs and great local wine/beer in the evening. We loved watching the swifts and the bats. The view is astounding and I will remember it forever. The hosts were so helpful- any need we had was met and both respectful of our privacy and simultaneously available for anything we needed. We also visited Etna, seeing smoke rings and missing the eruption by one day. We went snorkelling and scuba diving in Aci Trezza and twice to Etnaland water park (we have teenagers!) which was honestly a great park that met every one’s challenge levels (including my own lesser challenging needs). There is a great pizzeria towards Aci Castello and good restaurants in the town too.
Our boys loved it too and really loved having an en-suite bathroom each.
Sicilian driving remains completely crazy but always has been, and probably always will be! You do need a car for this holiday, but it is worth it!
An absolutely incredible place - thank you Ginetta so much. We are determined to return.
