Overview

OverviewWith a pool, table tennis and play area for toddlers, Casa Franchina is perfect for a family. Best of all, you can walk to the beach and to the shops and restaurants in Acquedolci or easily access the motorway which stretches the length of Sicily’s north coast if you want to explore further.

The highlight of the villa for most families is the lovely pool, with its graduated steps at one end. A lawned area beside the pool has table tennis and plenty of space for the children to play, overlooked by a pergola-shaded terrace with a sea-facing dining area, a swing chair and additional seating. Make the most of the Sicilian weather by cooking in the outdoor tiled kitchen corner (equipped with cupboard space, a sink and hob). At the side of the villa, a second lawn has a small play area with two swings for young children.

Inside, the villa is traditionally furnished, with polished terracotta flooring and antique furniture. The ground floor comprises a spacious lounge, dining room and fully-equipped kitchen. The washing machine is in the downstairs bathroom (with shower). There are four bedrooms on the first floor which is accessible either via an internal or external staircase. On this floor, there are two doubles, one with an en suite bathroom (with jacuzzi), a twin room and a single, and one other bathroom.

Area

Situated on the north coast of Sicily, between Cefalù and Capo d’Orlando, the villa is at walking distance to the shops and restaurants at Acquedolci, and the beach (800mt). 

Close by, the Nebrodi Mountains provide some of Sicily’s most spectacular landscapes, popular with hikers and foodies (salami, cheese) but also very appealing if you enjoy exploring out-of-the-way villages. San Marco d’Alunzio and San Fratello are well worth visiting – San Fratello has a pretty 11th century Norman church, with cloisters.

Other local towns include Santo Stefano di Camastra, renowned for its colourful ceramics, and Tindari, the site of a former Greek-Roman settlement and the Santuario di Tindari, built to house the much-revered Black Madonna. To the west of Acquedolci, the seaside resort of Cefalù offers an appealing mix of sandy beaches, a UNESCO world heritage site (Norman cathedral) and an attractive historic centre.

For a full day out, boat trips and snorkelling excursions depart from nearby Milazzo to the volcanic Aeolian Islands.

Lovely holiday at Villa Franchina
We had a fantastic stay at Casa Franchina, Pippo and his wife are lovely hosts who made us feel very welcome and were very accommodating with changing days last minute to fit with flights impacted by mount Etna eruptions! The villa itself was a lovely Sicilian Villa, the pool was the highlight and we recommend visiting La Cascina for a great meal out near by! Local supermarkets are easily accessible but recommend a car for this location as we often drove out to nearby towns and beaches. All in all an excellent holiday if you are looking for a quieter spot away from all the tourist areas. All good, no issues.

Nothing but compliments
A very clean and spacious house with all the amenities a group and/or family could need. Central positioning between Catania and Palermo with many places to visit between. Owners were very good, very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble for them. You feel that all they wanted was for you to have the best holiday ever. Language barrier? No problem. They even involve a translator when needed. Very easy to use with no complications

First off all I admit that some the pictures do not accurately match what we saw in the property. However; ultimately everything is clean and functional, while some aspects of the house such as certain ornaments or decorations may seem dated, I understand this is a styling preference. This is not a modern villa, but as I enjoy traditional properties this was good for me., The outdoor area is very enjoyable and there are many utilities and items available in and out. Bed's were comfortable and the kitchen had everything it needed. My only criticism is there may be too many ornaments on show, however I understand this is down to preference, I cannot fault the service offered by the owners and their helpfulness. I would recommend a car for the area as there are many areas to explore nearby that may be a bit difficult to access without a car. Overall I would stay again.
