The Area

Etna View is located in the municipality of Trecastagni, one of the highest villages in Sicily on the slopes of Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe. The origins of this village date back to the 14th century and, in addition to being immersed in an area rich in naturalistic attractions, it hosts some ancient monuments of great artistic value, including the Church dedicated to San Nicola di Bari, considered one of the most beautiful works of the Sicilian Renaissance. The village stands in a particularly panoramic position and is part of the incredible natural and landscape heritage of the Etna Park. Its territory includes chestnut, oak and holm oak forests replaced, at high altitudes, by lava flows that have followed one another over time and is characterized by the presence of various volcanic cones. The undisputed attraction here is Mount Etna, whose presence has a great impact on the area. The volcano originated from a series of geological events that occurred over time and is bordered to the north by the Alcantara river, which digging its bed on lava soil has given rise to suggestive and narrow gorges that are part of the Gole dell’Alcantara river park. Excursions to the volcano start from two main points: the Sapienza refuge, on the southern side, with a large car park, where it is possible to take the cable car to reach an altitude of 2900 meters; Piano Provenzana, a ski station on the northern slope, with a large car park and ski lifts, from where you can walk or take a 4X4 bus up to the Observatory at 2400 metres. Excursions to the summit craters can be carried out with qualified local guides and it is advisable to always have the appropriate equipment for the high mountains. Catania, the second largest city in Sicily, is just 13 km away. The town, founded by the Greeks and then conquered by the Romans, retains traces of both civilisations, whose passage is testified by some ancient monuments, such as the theatre, the amphitheater and the baths. Over the centuries Catania has undergone various dominations to which its churches and monuments date back. Castello Ursino, built by Emperor Frederick II of Swabia in the 13th century, now houses the Civic Museum. Its historic centre, an example of Baroque architecture, has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, while its large squares host numerous religious and folkloristic events, including the feast of Sant’Agata, the third largest Christian festivity in the world. The colorful fish market, La Pescheria, with its typical atmosphere, is also worth a visit. The beaches in this area are very beautiful and different from each other. La Plaja is a very long golden sand beach in Catania, while a few kilometers further north are the black lava cliffs that culminate in the legendary “Riviera dei Ciclopi” and the stacks of Aci Trezza. Not to be missed the opportunity to spend an unforgettable day in the enchanting Taormina, where you can take a nice walk along its shopping street and enjoy an incredible panoramic view from its square, as well as from its Greek theater. In Taormina you can also admire one of the most beautiful views of Eastern Sicily, Isola Bella, a rocky island covered in dense vegetation that can be reached on foot across a narrow strip of land from the beach located in front or by cable car. A little further away is Siracusa, whose historic center on the Island of Ortigia exudes great charm, as much as its Greek antiquities and its Baroque churches. Siracusa is about 80 km away and absolutely worth a visit!

A wonderful week at Etna View.

We had a fantastic time at Etna View in Trecastagni. The villa was beautiful, comfortable and well-maintained, with a great pool. An added bonus was the pool table and home theatre downstairs. We also like the gated driveway which created a feeling of privacy and luxury. The location was ideal, with easy access to Mt Etna, Taormina and Siracusa. It was a pleasure dealing with Select Sicily, the rental agency, as well as with the delightful and very helpful property manager, Federica. I can’t recommend Etna View highly enough.

Best in class service

We had an amazing time in Sicily. We stayed one week at Villa Etna View in Trecastagni, and 5 night at Villa Orizzonte in the Noto area. Both villas offered gorgeous views; from the daily show Etna offered from the balcony, to the amazing pools and their cleanliness, the locations were both perfect. We have had the opportunity to experience a private dinner by a chef (Etna View owner) and his team - truly magical experience, they took care of everything, including setting up a table and decorating for a surprise. If you are looking for best in class service, you will find it here with Select Sicily.

Just perfect

Making the reservation with Select Sicily was easy and the reservation team always answered our queries promptly. On a very late arrival at this amazing villa we were delighted to find it to be all we expected. The younger members of the family loved the jacuzzi. We had an amazing time and to top it all the volcano erupted and gave us the most amazing view/spectacle of how wonderful nature is. I cannot be more complimentary of the whole experience you won’t be disappointed at the pool and the serenity of this lovely villa. The only negative was the gardens were looking rather parched, but I can only put that down to the covering of ash from the eruption of the volcano. Thank you for a wonderful week.

More than a slice of heaven

The staff at Select Sicily Villas were wonderful, from reservation to check out. Federica was waiting for us at the property to welcome us and give us a full tour of the villa. The villa was beautiful, both inside and outside. Perfect for our girl getaway. We were spoiled with choices of relaxation areas, sauna, jacuzzi, entertainment room. This house has everything. The pool is heavenly. The location was great, away from the crowds but close to all attractions. Beside the villa is a lounge, Ostra, with stunning views and very nice owners. I cannot recommend Villa Etna enough, you will not be disappointed.

Etna View

We stayed at Etna View for a week and had a great time. The booking process was very easy, and all queries were answered quickly and clearly. Despite arriving late on Saturday evening, the owners representative was there to welcome us and show us around. Facilities at the villa (pool; cinema room; gym; jacuzzi etc) were very good and the villa owners very responsive and accommodating. Incredible to have such a large area all to ourselves.

Expansive and luxurious villa in beautiful surroundings

Dear Rosario and Vincenzo, Looking back on our holiday we still giggle at the abundance and luxury of the beautifully located villa. With our large family of 8 we enjoyed all of it: the luxurious style of the bed and bathrooms, the spaciousness living room, the kitchen. The few rainy days were of course spent chilling out in the wellness spa, watching movies in the the movie theater, playing pool in the pool room. The outdoor terrain was as impressive as the villa itself: it takes about 15 minutes to walk the circumference: the large swimming pool with expansive view of the Mediterranean, the outdoor kitchen, the gardens (plural), and, last but not least, the helicopter platform! Indeed the setting of movies: we would fantasize about James Bond scripts :D From the living room terrace we had ample view of the Etna in the distance, as it blew puffs of grey. So impressive to watch and visit! The kids would make miniature Etna's with some of the black rubble from an eruption a couple of months earlier. You were so friendly with everything we needed and gave great tips for hikes and sites. Thank you so much for your hospitality at your dream house! We can't wait to come back to live the good live again!
