2 Bedroom House in Archi, Santa Venerina

The House of Camellia is a lovely cottage set in a wonderfully rural location and an ideal base for exploring eastern Sicily. It dates back to the late 18th century and has been carefully restored maintaining the original lava stonework and wood-beamed ceilings, adding high quality fittings ,traditional furniture and Caltagirone tiles in the typical Sicilian style making it full of character.The farmhouse is set in a large estate of lemon groves, in a very peaceful location with Europe's highest active volcano in the background and offers a warm and cosy welcome, rural peace, sensational views of Etna, being a perfect location from which visiting Taormina , walking in M.Etna's Natural Park and enjoying the nice beaches nearby.Also the province of Siracusa ( 1 hour drive ) and Ragusa with its beautiful baroque towns ( 1,5 hour drive) are within easy reach. A mini-cruise of the Aeolian Islands is a day trip we suggest as well.
Our lovely farmhouse is ideal for a couple , a family or a group of friends who want to sample rural Sicilian life, being close to all the sights and comforts.
All accomodation is on one floor: a spacious living area with fully equipped farmhouse kitchen, armchair and sofa bed.There's a flat screen TV , microwave oven , a new fridge , Hi-Fi with CD and MP3 reader, an Americano coffee machine ( filter coffee) and a Nespresso machine so don't forget your coffee pods ( but you will find two complimentary pods for your first night ). You can cook up a Sicilian feast for friends or family with the great regional produce from local shops .There are two bedrooms ,one with a king size double bed and the other with two twin beds.
All the rooms open directly on the terrace where a patio offers shade for your " al fresco" meals .Also you can have your breakfast or simply relax in the shade of the big beautiful Camellia tree the house is named after.Step out of the kitchen or of the bedroom and soak up the morning sun on the east-facing patio or while away the hour enjoying the flowers in the terrace , a glass of Sicilian wine and the peace and smell of the surrounding lemon groves , make the most of the barbecue and outdoor dining table cooking some fresh caught fish from the local fish market at the fishing harbour in Riposto where the fishermen land their catches daily.
Three steps lead from the kitchen to the bathroom with the shower.
There's a little roof terrace where you can enjoy the views of Mt Etna , the sea and the countryside.Garden furniture and a barbecue will let you enjoy the surrounding countryside. The house has very thick walls that keep it cool during the summer but there is air conditioning for even more comfort when needed. Free wifi is available.
The house has its own access and it's totally secluded and not overlooked. We are a family run business and we live on site so there is always someone to speak to if you need.We want our guests to feel comfortable and at home , we like to make sure that they have everything they need but also like to give them space and privacy even though we are always happy to help our guests or to give them advice.
