Overview

OverviewOffering ample space indoors and out, including an independent annex for 2, Azzurro Timpa is an excellent option for a larger family. Conveniently located a short drive from Catania airport, the attractively furnished contemporary villa is equally well placed for days on the beach and exploring many of the highlights of Sicily’s east coast, including Acireale, Taormina, and, of course, Mount Etna.

The entrance to the property leads directly on to the lovely pool area, set amidst furnished sun terraces, and with a convenient small outdoor kitchen corner. The independent annex, which is on the same level as the pool, and accessed directly from this terrace, provides an excellent alternative for couples within the group looking for a little extra privacy. Modern and decorated in bright, appealing colours, the mini apartment comprises a living room with a small table and chairs, a TV, good-sized kitchen and a sofa bed that opens out to a small double. The contemporary bathroom, tiled in shades of blue, has a shower.

You get to the main villa via a staircase leading from the pool terrace. This opens out on to a furnished terrace, with sun umbrellas and several seating areas, that wraps round the entire villa.

A conservatory style dining area, with retractable French doors, provides a lovely space to enjoy al fresco meals in summer and winter: shaded from the sun but with refreshing breezes during the summer heat, or indoors but with fabulous sea views during the cooler months.

French doors lead from the conservatory into a beautifully furnished living room, with a double sofa bed, and from there, into the large and very well-equipped kitchen. Here you’ll find everything you need for preparing meals, as well as a kitchen table. There is also a door to the shaded terrace at the rear of the property, offering an alternative al fresco dining option.

A corridor leads to the two double bedrooms, each with plenty of wardrobe space (one with a small dressing room). Both bedrooms have a super modern bathroom with shower and access to the terrace.

Area

The nearest town to Azzurro Timpa is Acireale (10 minutes by car) but you can walk into Guardia village (5 minutes) for basic provisions. Acireale is a lovely town which attracts few tourists, despite being home to a historic centre packed with baroque architecture, including a stunning Duomo and the Basilica dei Santi Pietro e Paolo. The town is at its most vibrant during its Mardi Gras carnival but visit at any time and you’ll find heart-stopping views of the Ionian coastline (particularly from the gardens of the Villa Belvedere) and appealing shops along the Corso Umberto I.

Catania and Taormina are also well worth a visit. In Catania, wander through grand squares to admire baroque style lava stone buildings, check out the city’s vibrant fish market, and perhaps take in an opera at the Teatro Massimo Bellini. In Taormina, everything takes on a slightly more upmarket feel: shop windows and restaurants are glitzier and more glamorous, and the coastal views are spectacular. A day trip to the ancient Greek city of Syracuse, which is around 100km to the south, is also well worth the effort.

The area is rich in natural beauty. Many of the beaches along the craggy coastline of the Riviera dei Ciclopi are stony and generally uncrowded although you’ll also find a selection of sandy beaches, such as at Torre Pozzillo or at the Timpa Nature Reserve. There are also some wonderful coastal paths with fabulous views.

For those keen to explore 
Mount Etna, our range of activities and experiences include hiking and cycling tours, and wine-tasting at the superb wineries on the volcano’s lower slopes. For anyone keen on adventure activities, a range of land and water-based activities are available at the Alcantara Gorge to the north of Acireale.

Ein sehr schönes Haus mit tollem Blick aufs Meer. Es ist alles da, was man braucht. Sehr freundliche Vermieterin, es gab einen Essenskorb mit frischen Zitronen und frische Eier im Kühlschrank.

Fabulous holiday for 3 ladies!
Such a lovely house, really comfortable with everything you needed. Stunning views and very peaceful! A great base to explore this beautiful part of Sicily, Taormina, Ortiga, Acireale and charming little coastal villages. Our host, Daniela, was lovely, very helpful and close by for any advice. We had a great welcome basket on arrival too and were met by both Daniela and the car hire guy, a car is a must here but it’s only a short drive to the supermarket. Early morning sunrises a must! We were a group of 3 best friends celebrating a special birthday and it was perfect for us, thank you! Excellent! The booking was done very promptly and we were also able to book airport taxis and car hire too through Wish Sicily.

Beautiful Family Stay Near Mount Etna
We had a fantastic family stay at this beautiful villa. It was spotlessly clean, very well equipped, and finished to a high standard throughout. The pool and outdoor areas were excellent, with lovely seating areas and great sea views. The location is perfect for exploring the east of the island including visiting Etna, we even found find volcanic ash covering the outside areas one morning! Daniela lives next door and on hand if needed. The only slight downside is that a car is essential, as the nearest supermarket is about 10 minutes away. There is a good restaurant within walking distance, although the road has no pavement so walking can feel a little unsafe. Overall, a wonderful property that we would highly recommend. Sent them emails, received replies, process payment

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Azzurro Timpa!! It met every single expectation and more for our trip! We wanted to be out of town but still have a great view and pool for time to relax and this was achieved plentiful! The house has stunning panoramic views and is very well equipped! The photos matched perfectly to reality and more! The welcome basket and everyday supplies were the best I’ve ever had in an AirBnB! Daniela (the property manager) was the sweetest and easiest to work with; she communicated clearly and was always available if we needed anything! Thank you for having us!! We cannot wait to come here again!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Azzurro Timpa in Acireale, Sicily. The villa is beautiful, spacious, modern, comfortable, and very clean. It has everything needed for a relaxing stay, including excellent air conditioning, a washer and dryer, beautiful outdoor areas, a crystal-clear pool, and breathtaking views from the upper terrace. What made our experience truly special, however, was the hospitality of Daniela and Giuseppe, whom we came to know as Pippo. From the moment we arrived, Daniela welcomed us warmly and showed us around the villa, making us feel as though we were staying in our own home. Both she and Pippo were kind, helpful, generous, and genuinely interested in making sure we enjoyed every moment. We also have a very special memory of Maluccio, the sweet little stray kitten who regularly checked in on the guests in the mornings and evenings. Daniela and Pippo care for him lovingly, just as they do for their other animals. His visits and gentle personality brought us so much joy. Azzurro Timpa was more than a beautiful place to stay—it became a place filled with warmth, kindness, and wonderful memories. Leaving felt like saying goodbye to family. We are very grateful to Daniela and Pippo and truly hope to return someday. We highly recommend this special villa to anyone visiting Sicily.
