The Area
Situated between the towns of Acireale and Riposto on Sicily's Ionian Riviera, Chiusaliva is ideally positioned for exploring the many sights of eastern Sicily.
A few miles to the south is the bustling lava-stone baroque city of Catania, while just to the north is the pearl of the Mediterranean, Taormina, with its Graeco-Roman theatre, its picturesque streets and its breathtaking views. Mount Etna and the villages and towns on its flanks offer numerous possibilities, from hiking, skiing (in the winter months), wine-tasting, 4x4 off-road adventures, and much more besides (all of which we can arrange for our clients).
In terms of the sea, an array of picturesque pebbly coves and long shingle beaches line the Ionian Riviera, offering a great number of options. The nearby beaches of Fiumefreddo and Marina di Cottone have received several consecutive "Bandiere Blu", attesting to the cleanliness of the water and their general ecological excellence.
For those who like to play a round of golf or two, there is an eighteen-hole course about 45 minutes drive away.
Further afield, heading south, is the magnificent, historic, ancient Greek town of Syracuse, with its fabulous archaeological site and beautiful island centre, Ortigia, and the UNESCO World Heritage baroque towns of , Noto, and ModicaRagusa, and scicli.
