Stone house with one sea in tenuta le ripe

Delicious newly renovated cottage near the sea a, where you can get by walking for a few minutes on foot or by car. The house, completely independent, has a beautiful sea view and a delightful garden with deckchairs and barbecue. The house is very comfortable and equipped with all comforts including washing machine, dishwasher, air conditioning in the bedroom and television (even if you don't need it!) and the Wi fy.
In the living room there is a queen-size bed. The house is livable both in summer and in winter by having a wood-burning stove in the living room and the hot and cold air in the bedroom. The bathroom is large with a very comfortable shower. The garden has a spectacular view, deck chairs and a table to eat under a beautiful pergola. At guests' disposal there is always a well-stocked vegetable garden and seasonal fruit, avocados, mangoes, oranges, lemons, apricots, medlars and figs, to be picked from the trees. Small pool for children or for those who don't want to go to the beach. The 'Praiola' beach, below the house, is not private. It is made up of pebbles of various sizes but is little frequented because public access is very inconvenient. A wonderful terrace with a view of both the sea and Mount Etna will provide you with unforgettable sunsets. The house is well heated, has a fireplace in the living room and a heat pump in the master bedroom. The music of the waves and the smell of the sea will delight your stay. You will find everything you need for the beach in a reed house. In the season of the orange blossom, the citrus blossom, the scent will be irresistible, but each season will surprise you: in winter the oranges are ready, in autumn the mangoes so many summer fruits. Carrubba, the village, is halfway between Catania and Taormina, Giarre is about 5 km away. Etna, the volcano, can be reached in about half an hour and can be seen from the house. Its favourable geographic location, with the motorway just a few kilometres away, makes it easy to reach famous places such as Taormina, Acireale, Catania, Syracuse, Piazza Armerina and to make magnificent excursions to the suggestive 'Alcantara Gorge' and Mount Etna (bring heavy stuff) . I recommend this to families and groups of friends who want to spend a holiday immersed in nature and who want a base from which to discover Sicily and its wonders.

Relaxing stay
This was a lovely spot to spend the first few days of our holiday relaxing - the views from the property are gorgeous and the property itself is very comfortable. The air conditioning was unfortunately broken for our stay but we were provided with a fan which did the job fine. Alessandra was very helpful and provided us with delicious aubergines from her garden to enjoy!

Great stay!
We have enjoyed our stay at Alessandra's house. The house is very cozy and well equipped. Quiet and calm. A few minutes down the road there is a small beach. The sea view from the terrace is unforgettable. Alessandra and her family were very friendly and helpful.

Wunderbarer Aufenthalt zwischen Meer und Ätna
Wir haben 10 schöne Tage in dem kleinen, feinen Steinhäuschen mit wunderbarem Meer- und Ätnablick verbracht. Die Lage ist toll, es ist hübsch eingerichtet und es ist alles notwendige vorhanden. Wir haben Ausflüge in alle Richtungen unternommen. Es gibt einen Bahnhof mit Verbindung nach Catania, Syrakus, Messina, Taormina. Im kleinen Ort Carruba ist alles vorhanden, was man zum täglichen Leben braucht, Bäcker, Lebensmittelläden, Pizzeria und eine nette Bar. Die Badestrände von Riposto und Cottone waren Ende September fast menschenleer, das Meer noch schön warm und sehr sauber. Auf jeden Fall sollte man den Ätna besuchen. Alessandra hat uns bestens mit frischen Früchten wie Mango versorgt, war jederzeit ansprechbar und trotzdem sehr diskret. Vielen Dank, wir können das Häuschen nur empfehlen.

Vacances à Praiola
Gite idéalement situé à 5 minutes à pied d'une petite plage avec une très belle vue sur la mer. Le gite est très calme et on peut s'y reposer sur des transats à l'ombre des feuilles d'un plant de vigne de la terrasse ou d'un magnifique laurier rose. L'emplacement du gite nous a permis de découvrir la côte Est de la Sicile (Syracuse, Etna, gorges d'Alcantara, Taormina, iles Eoliennes...). Merci Alessandra pour ton accueil, tes conseils et tes légumes. Les citrons sont tout simplement délicieux. Nous avons passé 15 jours merveilleux dans ton gite.
