From the moment the gates opened at the castle, it was clear to our family, that we were entering a magical place. The photos do not do it justice. We were greeted by Lilliana, host/owner who gave us a tour of the house and garden, complete with the history of it's existence. Castle is filled with family photos and antiques. We felt honored that Lilliana would share her home with us. The walled in garden, complete with swings and pool provided a safe place for our grandchildren to play. The location was conveniently located to the sights we wished to visit, Mount Etna, Catania, Taormina and Syracuse. A short walk from the castle is a restaurant, La Conchiglia and the Blue Bar. I recommend both. There is a good supermarket ten minutes by car. You will need a car as well as patience to navigate the terrain and the narrow roads. Driving can be tricky. Our family enjoyed our week in paradise. I highly recommend this property.

We use to rent once a year a special location for a week holidays with friends. This time it was obvious: It will be very difficult - or even not possible to find some location better than the beautiful Castello Claves. Everything was perfect: The tasteful interiour of the house, the wonderful park and garden, the huge pool. And last but not least the owner, who was welcoming us with her charme and friendliness. Whenever we needed assistance she was there, but very discrete in the background. As we even did not use all the parts of the house we decided to come back another time. 100% to be recommended!

This is a large unique place with huge amounts of old world charm. Everything works and everthing is there. But in addition there are photos, pictures, furniture, lights, mirrors going back across family generations since the place was built. Massive character. The beds are old and perhaps they could do with modern linen. There was no TV which was great. You can see Etna clearly from the back. The garden was massive and somewhat overgrown. The pool was excellent but cold but this is what you would expect for May. The place is very secure. Some local dogs bark from time to time. The sheer charm of the place, the many rooms, the staircase, the large veranda where we had dinner several times, are the best memories. And Liliana the host was exceptionally nice.

10/10

Our week at Liliana’s beautiful Castello was a delight. We were a party of 8; two parents & 6 young adults 17-23. There was plenty of beds to go round and enough bathrooms too. The kitchen and dining room were perfect for our needs. The decor throughout is charming and reflects a true family home without feeling cluttered or intrusive. The outside spaces are even more wonderful. The half shaded veranda is very spacious and perfect for dining and lazing around. The terrace between the towers offers stunning views of Etna and the sea and on occasions we ate there too. Both spaces have large tables and chairs. The swimming pool is a proper size at 15m and well equipped with loungers, shower and changing room. Water temperature in June - perfect. The whole Castello is surrounded by a stunning garden which is lovingly maintained. Beautiful scented shrubs everywhere, tropical palms and mature trees. Fresh lemons to pick from the orchard. The place is teeming with birds and butterflies. The town of Stazzo is lively but refreshingly unpretentious. The restaurant on the square sells delicious pizza, the two bars are busy and fun. Fresh fruit and veg from a stall on the square is high quality and good value. In the evening a gelati van sells modestly priced cornets. Our host Liliana was so kind, helpful and respectful of our privacy. Nothing was too much trouble. She wanted us to have a wonderful time in her magical home and we did -100%.

Liliana ist die beste Gastgeberin, die man sich denken kann. Freundlich, unaufdringlich und soooo nett. Das Haus ist mit allem Interieur aus dem frühen 20. Jahrhundert. Das muss man mögen und wir haben das sehr genossen. Das bekommt man nicht alle Tage. Der Pool hat uns viel Spaß gemacht. Wir können die Unterkunft nur weiterempfehlen. Ins Turmzimmer sollte allerdings nur, wer dazu noch körperlich und Lage ist.

Liliana hat uns sehr nett empfangen und uns eine Führung durch das Anwesen gegeben und von der Geschichte des Hauses erzählt. Sie war immer verfügbar, wenn wir was gebraucht haben. Der Poolbereich ist sehr großzügig und eignet sich hervorragend um ganze Nachmittage dort zu verbringen. Die Zimmer und die Bäder waren sehr sauber, aber das Haus ist alt, das sollte man bedenken, wenn man sich für das schöne Castello entscheidet und daher auch mit etwas Patina rechnen. Alles in allem hatten wir eine wunderbare Woche im Castello verbracht. Auf jeden Fall weiter zu empfehlen, wenn man als Größere Gruppe unterwegs ist!

Our stay was absolutely incredible in Lilianas castle! A truly unique experience, incredible history and beautiful antiques everywhere. The pool area is the best I have ever experienced in a holiday rental. Enormous and plenty of comfy seating for everyone to lounge. Lots of nearby great days out. The pictures do not do the grandeur justice. Do not hesitate to book, you wll not regret it!! Oh and Liliana is absolutely lovely!! 10/10 experience ????

The castle is old and charming. Liliana is the best host I have ever met, you truly feel welcome and connected to her family history. The is very big and we could still enjoy it at the end of October. The only negative thing in my sensitive point of view are the barking dogs in the neighborhood.

Amazing castle with extensive garden & private pool set in a lovely small village. Views of the sea and Etna. Balcony and roof terrace as well as two tower rooms. Fully fitted kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine. There are several vineyards nearby and lots of fantastic places to and visit nearby. Warmly recommend this place for family holidays.

Castello Claves er en helt unik feriebolig! Meget gode fasiliteter, med stort bassengområde og luftige verandaer. Eiendommen byr på mange muligheter for en stor gruppe på tur. Vi var to familier som tilbrakte en ferieuke sammen og alle fikk sine behov dekket, voksne som barn. Rom og innredning var velholdt og vakkert møblert med bruk av varige materialer som fliser, marmor og heltre som tåler tiden tann. Hagen var velstelt og vakker - det var rett og slett et eventyr av et sted! Liliana og mammaen hennes (på 100 år) var utrolig søte og det var ikke til noen sjenanse å ha husverten boende i første etasje. Vi kommer gjerne tilbake!

Our family had the most wonderful time on our Sicilian adventure! The Villa was like stepping back in time. We cooked most of our meals in. The pool was picture perfect, and the balconies were inviting for playing games, dining or reading books. We enjoyed walking down to the Marina for coffee or evenIng drinks. There was a nice restaurant as well. I would recommend renting a car to explore. Although the Villa has five bedrooms, we found it comfortably slept our group of six. The turret bedroom didn’t have a bath, and the spiral staircase wasn’t for the faint of heart. The other bedroom had two cots which were better suited to small children, not adults. Both of these points are clearly stated in the listing, and we weren’t bothered at all. Liliana was lovely! An incredible host, We felt so welcome and safe in her family home.

We felt truly at home at Castello Claves. Owner and ground floor resident Liliana Di Re loving has created and curated unique details in every room and in the ample gardens to showcase the story of her remarkable family. We never grew tired of discovering photos, objects, and assemblages that showcased their story and Liliana's unique artistic talents. She helped us contact an extraordinary local chef to cater a special birthday luncheon under a flowering pergola on the main terrace; we also dined under the stars on the rooftop and enjoyed relaxing around the ample pool. The castle is equipped with ample bedding and towels, and the handsome dishes and glassware were plentiful. The town of Stazzo is a bit scrufty, but the little supermarket there easily supplied us with fresh bread, food, drink and other essentials when we were not otherwise enjoying easy day trips to Taormina, Catania, Aci Castello, and Siracusa. Would go back in a heart beat!

The property is even more beautiful than the pictures! The pool area is drenched in sun all day (there are shades if you want them). There are two large balconies, one designed for breakfast, one for evening aperativo. The rooms are all very comfortable and artfully decorated over the last 120 years of family ownership. Liliana is delightful and left us homemade marmalade and cakes as well as basic breakfast supplies. Don't forget to check out her hand made bags available for sale in the tower too! It is a wonderful place to stay, my only note is you will probably want a car just because Stazzo isn't that big. That said we whiled away many joyful hours sitting by the pool, walking in the garden or taking in the views of Enta and the sea. You can't go wrong!

Staying in a castle in Sicily is as great as it sounds! My husband and I slept in the very romantic turret room. It is a short walk to amazing swimming and a bar and restaurant at night. We loved every minute.
