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! ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90250000/90248900/90248849/265bf64b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villa Etnamare with Infinity pool between Mt Etna and the Jonian sea - Geranio Santa Venerina - Pool - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 26 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-27&endDate=2025-10-28&selected=90248849&PinnedHotelID=90248849&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90380000/90371700/90371660/f030078c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villa Etnamare with Infinity pool between Mt Etna and the Jonian sea - Girasole Santa Venerina - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Air conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 33 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-27&endDate=2025-10-28&selected=90371660&PinnedHotelID=90371660&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114950000/114943500/114943450/17611f29.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Holiday Home 'Queen Etna - Beautiful Pool' with Sea View, Wi-Fi and Air Conditioning Viagrande - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-27&endDate=2025-10-28&selected=114943450&PinnedHotelID=114943450&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33600000/33596700/33596622/582545ae.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Old House of charm with swimming pool and panoramic view between Etna and sea Trecastagni - Ocean view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer 9.6 Exceptional 101 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-27&endDate=2025-10-28&selected=33596622&PinnedHotelID=33596622&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/27000000/26720000/26717700/26717621/06218245.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villa Gloria Maria, Pool relaxation silence nature.

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.

Unsere (Glicine) war sehr geräumig, neuwertig eingerichtet und wirklich picobello sauber. Die Aussicht aufs Meer ist gigantisch und bei klarem Wetter sieht man bis ans italienische Festland. Auf der Rückseite kann man den Ätna beobachten. Nadia und Fabio, die Vermieter, haben uns sehr freundlich empfangen und stehen mit Rat und Tat zur Seite, wenn man Fragen zu Ausflügen in die Umgebung hat. Der Pool ist sehr schön angelegt und ziemlich groß (25 Meter lang!). Ein großer Glücksfall war für uns das direkt nebenan gelegene Restaurant „Les cinque botte“, wo wir mehrmals wirklich köstlich landestypisch gegessen haben Insgesamt können wir die Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen. ##### Ursula K.

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. ##### Tracy P. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susanne B.

Der Pool verspricht viel Freude für die Kleinen und Entspannung für die Großen. Man ist weitestgehend unter sich. Ein Mietwagen ist ratsam, da fußläufig nicht wirklich viel erreichbar ist. Einen Lebensmittelladen und ein paar Restaurants findet man aber auch in der direkten Umgebung. Einzig der fehlende Geschirrspüler trübt die Urlaubsstimmung ein wenig. ##### Susanne B.

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.

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. ##### Daniel H.

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 !! ##### Shuvo R. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna Marie M. Mar 6, 2017 #### Beautiful place and friendly hosts My family (4 adults) has stayed in ”Glicine” apartment for one week in February. We had a very warm welcome by Dario, Fabio and Nadia who speek english very well. The first thing we noticed when entering the apartment was the freshly picked oranges on a plate on the table from their own orange plantation. Very tasteful. From the balcony there is fantastic sea views, and at the other side of the house we had a fine view to Etna covered by snow –amazing. The pool is large and clean and while swimming you can enjoy the sight of Etna – that’s great. Everything in the apartment was clean and the kitchen is well equipped. There is a big area around the house with a plantation of orange and lemon trees where you are allowed to pick the fruits. The location of the house is really good whether you are interested in nature or culture. Taormina ,Siracusa (ancient ruins, old houses), Etna - I will recommend to go all the way to the top with funicular and tracked vehicle even if it is vey expensive (about 70 euros). About 200 meters from the house there is a brilliant restaurant: “Le cinque botti”. Good food, not expensive and an excellent service. You must visit this place. We are thankful to Fabio, Darioand Nadia but also her farther who gave us some of his own grapefruits. The hosts are friendly and helpful but also discreet. A very recommendable holiday apartment !! Grazie alla famiglia Monaco! Ci vidiamo ? ##### Anna Marie M. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elisabeth R. Oct 4, 2016 #### Wunderbarer Blick, sehr hoher Standard Pool und Blick sind hervorragend! Auch die Wohnungen haben sehr hohen Standard. Wir waren mir Freunden da und hatten 2 Wohnungen - Glicine im oberen Stock ist uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert. Super Blick, sehr helle Räume. Geranio im Basement ist innen dunkler, auch ist der Garten stärker eingewachsen, die Sicht ist nicht so frei wie auf den Bildern. Raumgrössen aber sehr angenehm. Vermieter super nett, hilfsbereit und sehr persönlich. Und sie sprechen sehr gutes Englisch - eine Ausnahme in Sizilien. Preis-Leistung stimmt. ##### Elisabeth R.

Aug 8, 2016 #### oasis de calme avec une magnifique piscine entre Etna, Catane et Taormina Accueil sympathique et professionnel des propriétaires qui répondent par ailleurs très vite aux mails d'avant séjour. Location impeccable, propre, et bien équipée, même si un fauteuil de terrasse ou l'autre en plus ne seraient pas désagréables. Piscine extraordinaire, grande, avec vue sur l'Etna et la Méditterranée. Localisation idéale pour visiter la région de l'Etna, de Catane, Taormina et Syracuse, ou les gorges de l'Alcantara. Location spacieuse on a vraiment de la place (glycines). ##### francois d.

We have just returned from the most perfect holiday at Etnamare. The three of us (two adults, one five year old) stayed in the Glicine apartment. It had everything we needed and more and was spotlessly clean. We used upstairs for sleeping (thoughtfully the owners had made up a single bed for our 5 year old in the upstairs living area so we could be close together at night) and had the luxury of using the downstairs bedroom as a dressing room. The extensive balcony had great views to the sea and Mt Etna, simply stunning, and was ideal for lazy evening bbqs and also in the early mornings we enjoyed watching Angelou tending to the fruit trees. The gardens around the apartment were abundant with trees and flowers and an amazing amount of butterflies! The pool is large, again with stunning views and we went every day in the morning or late afternoon. The first week of our stay we had it to ourselves which was great but even when other apartments were full it was never busy. The nearby town has plenty of restaurants and shops for supplies, on the last night we passed a fantastic looking cheese shop, we wished we'd found it sooner! We had a hire car to visit surrounding towns and of course Etna. Out favourite beach was Isola Bella but there are many to choose from and all have their charm. Nadia, Dario and family were friendly but discreet hosts. They were very helpful when you needed them but also made us feel very at home for the two weeks of our stay. We wish you luck with your new arrival in September, what a place for a child to grow up! Thanks for a great holiday and we hope to return one day as we fell in love with Sicily-Carol, Stephen and Evan. ##### Carol W.
