Do you want to FELL AS AT YOUR OWN HOME? "Charming Etna" is a welcoming short term rental house on the GROUND FLOOR recently refurbished with NEW AND MODERN FURNITURE, AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING. Perfect for couples, group of friends or families (6/7 GUESTS) who want to stay in a QUIET AREA where it’s easy to drive around the well known tourist sites or DISCOVER ETNA SURROUNDINGS. The accommodation, on the ground floor, consists of TWO BEDROOMS: one with two SINGLE BEDS and a private bathroom, the other one with DOUBLE BED and an external bathroom just in front of the bedroom. In THE LIVING ROOM, wide and bright, a big SOFA could be used as a bed for TWO OTHER PEOPLE otherwise it could be the ideal SPACE TO RELAX yourself reading your preferred book or listening your favorite music. THE KITCHEN, modern and spacious, will welcome you with its intense color, the RED of the “volcano Etna”. It is FULLY EQUIPPED with new appliances (fridge, electric oven, microwave, boiler), cuttlery, spices and all you need to cook your favorite dish or some SPECIAL SICILIAN RECIPE (for this you can ask me! I love cook Sicilian dishes and sweets). Outside a wide and nice PATIO, rich of LOCAL PLANTS, where it’s possible sip a cocktail in the afternoon or have a dinner during hot days. THE FREE PRIVATE PARKING, just close to the entrance door, is very useful when you have to LOAD/UNLOAD your LUGGAGE or heavy shopping bags. It is completely at GUESTS DISPOSAL. SERVICE, EQUIPMENT AND APPLIANCES: \- free private PARKING close to the entrance door \- security sistem \- heating/AIR CONDITIONING \- fridge, oven, microwave, freezer \- hob with four flames \- WASHING MACHINE WITH LAUNDRY SOAP \- HAIDRYER \- pan and cutlery \- kettle \- CLOTHES RACK \- BED LINEN AND TOWELS \- electric iron, emergency lamp \- CLEANING PRODUCTS Hosts have at their disposal all the house, the equipment, the private parking. My purpose is guests can feel as at their home. For this reason I will be available during their stay giving them support for everything. I can suggest them places to visit, excursions to do, rental car, food to taste and other information to make the trip as comfortable as possible. Our house is located in a STRATEGIC PLACE, only 1 km far from the MOTORWAY A18, the most important way to reach, by car, the chief popular pearls of the Ionian sea, Taormina and Giardini Naxos, or cities full of art, history and culture as Catania, Siracusa, Caltagirone, Ragusa. The house location is also ideal for both SEA AND MOUNTAIN LOVERS as it’s 15 minutes far from the beach and 40 minutes far from Etna Parks where it’s possible to make BREATHTAKING EXCURSIONS surrounded by the green of the nature and the black of the rocks. Driving around the small Etna villages, as Sant’Alfio, Milo and others, you can discover the “wine itineraries” visiting the most important WINERIES tasting and smelling the Sicilian best wines. Close to the house a bus stops to reach Giarre, a small city full of different shops and Riposto with its typical fish market, the Touristic Harbour and the train station. (Public transport doesn't work late in the evening and at night) ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Ski - Close to skiing ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Parking and transportation -

Elle est très soucieuse de notre bien-être, répond immédiatement à nos demandes et de plus elle parle bien le français.
