Santa Venerina Apartment | Villa Etnamare with Infinity pool between Mt Etna and the Jonian sea - "Glicine"

3 Bedroom Apartment in Santa Venerina

Villa Etnamare is situated up on a hill overlooking the green East coast of Sicily, between Mount Etna and the Ionian sea. It is surrounded by a land of five hectares dotted with heavily laden citrus trees and flowers.
A huge 25 meter long infinity pool is set amongst orange and olive trees on a natural terrace offering spectacular views of the Volcano and of the whole coastline as far as Catania, Giardini Naxos and Taormina.
The villa is divided into four independent units, with private terraces. The choice to divide such a large property into a few units was made by its owners, who built it from the foundations, to preserve its exclusivity but at a more accessible cost.
The two storey unit GLICINE dominates the northeast wing of the villa, with a splendid sea view over the whole coastline between Taormina and Catania, as well as Mt Etna views, both from the interior and from its secluded private terrace with balcony.
This unit is the largest of the four, as it offers three double bedrooms, three bathrooms and three living rooms.
The ground floor consists of a double bedroom, a bathroom with shower and a large living room with fully equipped kitchen and extendable wooden table, high quality double sofa bed and two large sliding doors giving access to a private terrace with balcony equipped with parasol, garden furniture and barbecue.
A wooden staircase leads you to the upper floor, which offers two double bedrooms, two bathrooms and two further living areas equipped with single beds/cot. There are also two panoramic balconies.
This unit as a whole can accommodate up to 8 adults and an infant. The rental cost varies depending on the number of people, so it is also suitable for families of 4 people or less, at a reduced price for two bedrooms/bathrooms.
Glicine's third bedroom/bathroom/living room upstairs are available upon request and at an additional cost if you are traveling with less than 5 people.
Please, note that the living areas located upstairs can be used as additional bedrooms, therefore even if you are with four people, you will still have two bedrooms,two bathrooms and an extra living space with a single bed upstairs, at no additional cost.
GLICINE is equipped with hot/cold air conditioners, LCD TV, oven, refrigerator, iron and ironing board, hairdryer, washing machine, fully equipped kitchen, free wi-fi. The interiors are chosen with care, using high quality natural materials.
SURROUNDINGS
Villa EtnAmare lies only 500 metres away from Santa Venerina. This quiet, landscaped town of 8000 inhabitants is dedicated to gastronomic tourism and offers an impressive number of excellent cafes, restaurants and wineries, many of which are within walking distance.
Two supermarkets and a couple of groceries and bakeries are 5 minutes walk, while the nearest shopping mall, Conforama, which is open even on Sunday, is at 10 minutes driving distance.
Santa Venerina is an excellent base from which to explore eastern Sicily, thanks to its very strategic position halfway between Catania and Taormina.
The town is 5 minutes drive from the motorway A18 Catania-Messina from which, in an average time of 20 minutes, you can reach the highlights of Eastern Sicily, such as Taormina, Alcantara Gorge, Catania, Acicastello, Acireale, Mt Etna and Giardini Naxos. The nearest beaches can be found at 10 minutes drive.
The villa is also an excellent starting point from which to explore Mount Etna and its surroundings. Rifugio Sapienza, the main ski area, where you can take the Etna cableway up to Mount Etna is 10 km away from the villa.
The sun of Sicily holds the record in Europe and maintains a mild climate throughout the year. Spring is the ideal time to enjoy the culture and nature that this island has to offer. It’s well worth making a trip just to experience the Easter processions, bringing together folklore and tradition in an incredibly mystic way. The interior is spectacular, with the mountain slopes exploding in colour, while on the coast the first bathers start taking to the beaches. In autumn, throughout October and mid-November, the sea water is still warmed by the summer sun, and the daytime temperature still reaches 30°c during the warmest hours. Festivals dedicated to local products such as wine, mushrooms and sweets are organized in many towns on the slopes of Etna. Our apartments are suitable for winter, Christmas and New Year. The weather between December and March can often be mild and sunny, but each of the apartments have a cozy quality allied to good heating systems and plenty of indoor space just in case!

Summary: We stayed here for a week with 2 older teenagers. It was a lovely relaxed week. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. The ground are immaculate and beautiful. The pool was amazing and exactly what we needed for the warm weather. The views are fantastic. The air conditioning worked well (units in each bedroom and the kitchen/living room). The trattoria next door was very handy and the owners there were very welcoming (and the food was amazing!) The apartment was ideally located for us to explore Taormina, local towns and Etna. You do need a car though as the village is relatively remote. Nadia and Fabio were extremely helpful and responsive. We would highly recommend this apartment.

Summary: We had a fantastic week at this property. It proved to be an ideal base to explore nearby towns and villages, Etna, Etnaland, Taormina as well as the north east coast of Sicily. The local restaurant (La 5 Botelli) is literally next door and offers great food on its doorstep. Our hosts were also very welcoming and helpful. The pool is lovely and large, the rooms fresh and modern, plus and the views of Etna and the coastline were truly epic.

Summary: We loved our stay at Villa EtnaMare. The apartment was very comfortable, with great kitchen space, private deck with views, and working AC in all the rooms. We LOVED the restaurant on the corner. The pool was lovely, especially in the evening after a long day of excursions. It is well located to Mt Etna, Taormina, and other Eastern towns. We would definitely stay here again!

Summary: There is nothing I can fault about our stay at Villa Etnamare. Our apartment was very well equipped with everything we needed to make our two week stay comfortable. We had views of the sea from one side of our terrace and Mount Etna on the other. The pool area and surrounding grounds are fabulous, we spent many hours just relaxing on a sun lounger. The whole family (Nadia, Dario, Fabio & Angelo) are very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. There is an excellent restaurant, Le 5 Botti, literally at the end of the drive that we visited five times during our stay and plenty of shops in Santa Venerina for everything needed for a self-catering stay. I would recommend a stay at Villa Entamare without reservation.

Summary: My husband and I spent ten days In Santa Venerina. The location was excellent and the accommodations were exactly as described. Dario and Nadia were available and responsive when needed. Angelo, Nadia's dad, greeted us on our second day with a bowl of figs and grapes from his garden. We were able to take many day trips to Taormina, Catania, Siracusa, and other small towns. We had a great time meeting some of the other guests as well. Waking up every morning to the view of Mt. Etna behind us and the sea in front of us will forever remain with us. Donna and Ray

Summary: Wonderful, well equipped apartment, with sweeping views of the sea and Mt. Etna. Dario was great showing us around, explaining where to shop and visit. The location places you on the doorstep of everything the Mt. Etna region has to offer. There is much adventure to be found, but you will be tempted to while away the days in this quiet, tranquil place -- where even the cats are friendly! Great place to stay.

Summary: A fantastic property, benefits from rural surroundings yet just a kilometer from all amenities. Views of both Etna and the Sea are next to none. But above everything else is the hospitality of Nadia, Dario and Fabio. Always there if you needed and guiding you about the area and facilities. My 4 yr old son broke his collar bone whilst running down on the slopes of the adjacent restaurant. We dont speak a word in italian and would have been so lost without Dario by our side. He took charge, drove us to the hospital and stayed put for a good five hours, doing all the communication with doctors and radiologists until all was sorted. Dario was an angel that day. God bless the lovely family !!
