Acireale holiday apartment: Pozzillo (Acireale)

Extra / Excursions: Food: At a few km of the house, in a town called Santa Tecla (address: via Canale Torto 34), is the renowned fish restaurant “Da Lorenzo”. A meal that consists of wine, water, antipasto (first course) and pasta costs around 20 euros. Including a second course, it would cost around 30 euros. Boat/fishing excursions: The owner of the house rents a small fishing boat with motor and addles (about 30 euro per day or 120 euro per week, only in May, June and July). Lorenzo, the owner of fish restaurant “Da Lorenzo” (address: via Canale Torto 34, Santa Tecla) organizes boat trips with local fisherman or with a speedboat along the beautiful coastline between Catania and Taormina. The meeting point for a trip with local fisherman is at the restaurant “Da Lorenzo”, at 20:00 o’clock. The excursion lasts for a couple of hours. The price per couple is 80,- euro.

The area: Pozzillo is also an excellent base from which to explore eastern Sicily. The quaint fishing village lies halfway between Catania and Taormina and just five kilometres from Acireale (a pretty little city, built on a plateau of lava, that is known for its Baroque churches). Giardini Naxos, a seaside resort with beautiful sandy beaches, is just 25 kilometres from Pozzillo. Beside it we find Taormina ‘the pearl of the Mediterranean’ and the most exclusive seaside resort in Sicily. Its ancient Greek theatre is world famous for its extraordinary panoramic views. Santa Maria la Scala and Aci Trezza are pleasant seaside villages near Pozzillo. Travelling south, one hour’s drive away lies Syracuse. - Etna - Acireale - Santa Maria La Scala - Taormina - Giardini Naxos - Catania - ‘Gole dell’Alcantara’ Nature Reserve - - Etnean towns Trecastagni, Zafferana Etnea, Piedimonte Etneo and Randazzo.

Feedback: 'I highly recommend this property. The apartment is accurately portrayed in the photographs. The owners are very welcoming. The town of Pozzillio is a mostly a summer escape for Sicilians. We LOVED that we were the only foreigners in town. There is a market very close, with a charming owner, Mariella. There is a disco on the waterfront around the corner with Italian karaoke. The views from the jetty of Mt. Etna glowing with lava at night were beautiful. The Ionian sea is right off the terrace and we went swimming many times. The people of the town were warm and generous. I can't wait to go back!' Lisa King June 2008
