Description
Cocuzzolo is an excellent choice for families looking for an affordable villa with a pool which is within easy reach of the coast and some of Sicily’s most exciting attractions. The villa is situated on the eastern slopes of Mount Etna, between Acireale and Taormina, and under an hour’s drive from Catania.
Surrounded by leafy landscaped gardens and set against a backdrop of trees and lush vegetation, the yellow-walled cottage provides a peaceful family retreat. A spacious patio, cooled by sea breezes, is the perfect spot for al fresco dining. There is also a pool, for the exclusive use of the villa guests.
The interior of the villa is simply furnished but has everything you need for a family holiday. On the ground floor, there is a smallish living room and a kitchen with double doors that lead out to the outdoor dining terrace. Two of the three double bedrooms, both with direct access to the garden, and two bathrooms (each with shower) are all on this floor. A spiral staircase leads up to the third bedroom and bathroom.

The area
Less than an hour’s drive from Catania, Sant’Alfio is a small village on the eastern slopes of Mount Etna, best known for its magnificent Castagno dei Cento Cavalli tree. Thanks to the fertile soil, local landscapes are of vineyards and citrus groves, set against the backdrop of the rocky coastline that sweeps along the Ionian Sea. The close beach of Riposto is located at 20 min drive.
Local coastal towns include Giarre, around 7km away, which is home to the remains of an 11th century church, in addition to shops and restaurants. To the north, Taormina is a delightful seaside town, with lovely beaches, a picturesque town centre and a magnificent Greek-Roman amphitheatre. To the south, we also recommend visiting Acireale, renowned for its Carnevale but also home to several Baroque-style buildings and Roman thermal baths. Catania is Sicily’s second largest city, with an attractive historic centre and fabulous fish market!
The slopes of Mount Etna are dotted with hillside towns such as Zafferana Etnea and Milo, constructed largely out of black lava stone. In addition to visiting Mount Etna, a range of excursions, wine-tastings and adventure activities are available on and around the volcano.

03-08-2020 -Prachtige omgeving, schoon, leuk huis, zeer gastvrije eigenaar, die snel en adequaat reageerde. Huisje staat op groot terrein met veel ruimte en prive zwembad. Op 5min afstand geweldig (klein) Italiaans dorpje Sant Alfio met goede patisserie Popotto

10-09-2018 -Clean villa in peaceful setting with plenty of storage. Great views of the sea and Etna. Nice pool and grounds - we loved being able to pick fresh figs for breakfast! Drive up to villa (300m) is on an unmade road - the last bit to the gate is particularly steep and potholed - would recommend either a 4x4 or car with plenty of clearance! Service: Easy to deal with and answered queries promptly.

15-07-2018 -Everything went well, no issues, no problems, anything as discussed and agreed! No problem to book at wish Sicily!!! Recommendable!!! Perfect villa for family or 3 couples. 3 bedrooms alone worth 3 bathrooms. Air condition in every room. Very clean and neat. Perfect pool. No neighbours. A little bit remote, therefore quiet and absolutely relaxing. On about 650m on the Etna slope, therefore climate much more convenient than on the coast, not as got as down onshore. Simply a perfect location!!!!
