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: This place was outstanding we stayed 12 nights the communication was perfect, the assistance for ANYTHING was ideal. The orchards and flowers, deck, fireworks (not their doing but we were there at the perfect time of year I suppose) were all to dream of when we get back to Canada. The only fault and it was of NO doing of their own, is the bees love the one corner of the pool (which is exactly as awesome if not better than they described otherwise). We were in the larger of the main floor units and it was perfect for our family of 3. We could come and go, work and stay or eat home or away, it all was a dream. I would 1000% stay again. Do NOT miss out on the 5 Botti restaurant their gate is beside the front gate of EtnaMare. Be sure to also get a tour and tasting at Murgo Winery while you are visiting, honestly couldn’t have picked a better spot for us, and I’m sure you’ll love it as well. Ciao and see you soon!

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: Villa Etnamare is fabulous. Our apartment was very well equipped and clean, and view we had from our terrace was superb - the sea on one side and Etna on the other. Perfect sat with glass of wine in the evening. The pool is fantastic, equipped with sun loungers and umbrellas. The owners are a lovely family and very friendly, being able to answer any queries we had. The town itself has everything you need. You may think at first that there's nothing there but once you start wondering around you'll find plenty of shops and restaurants. We highly recommend the one at the end of the villa drive. We wouldn't hesitate to return to Villa Etnamare if we were in this area again. Highly recommended.
