The Area
Situated in a panoramic position above the town of Giarre on the east coast of Sicily, about halfway between Catania and Taormina, Camelia is an excellent base from which to discover the area's historic towns, Mount Etna and the fascinating villages that populate its flanks. There are some lovely beaches down on the coast below, including those at Fiumefreddo and Marina di Cottone, which have received several consecutive "Bandiere Blu", attesting to the cleanliness of the water and their general ecological excellence. The chic lidos and evocative beaches below Taormina are just up the motorway, while an 18-hole golf course is a 45 minute drive away.
Further afield, Syracuse, the baroque towns of the Noto valley, the quiet beaches of Vendicari and Capo Passero to the south and Messina to the north are all comfortably reachable for day trips.

Read the insightful reviews from travellers who have experienced this villa and our service firsthand.
Camelia was stunning. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. I would happily use your services for anywhere in the world! I wish you serviced other countries and continents. It's so hard to find trusted accommodation.
GS, Australia October 2017
Camelia was beautiful, clean and met all our expectations. The maid who came every morning to the villa set our breakfast out so beautifully and this felt like a real treat. We thank you for making our visit to Sicily so efficient with your amazing staff and information packs.
Verified guest, August 2017
Camelia was amazing and our contact with the owner was great (very gracious and helpful). I am not one for exaggeration and I am not exaggerating, but the quality, settings, views, etc were just totally spectacular. It was very clean and super well maintained. You rate off the wall with me because of the accuracy of the description, the attention to detail, and that you provided us with excellent support. I am speaking for all of us when I would highly recommend you to anyone seeking your services.
Norman Bain, Canada July 2017
Our holiday was great. Camelia was extremely nice and well-equipped. We lacked for nothing. The only problem was that we never wanted to leave to do the touristy things!
Ms Edith Springer, United States of America June 2017
Camelia is a beautiful home. The owner is terrific. She was so helpful and quick to respond to our questions, including local fish markets.
PH, United States of America May 2017
The standard of Camelia was excellent. Everything we needed and more was available. A lot of attention to detail by the owners made for a very relaxing and luxurious holiday.
