If booking online does not suit you, our experts have visited each villa personally, so they can share the finer details and help explore flexible date options.
Don Venerando is situated just outside the village of Carruba, about half way between Catania and Taormina. This location is particularly well suited for exploring Sicily's east coast Ionian Riviera, Mount Etna and the various fascinating villages on its flanks. There are also several charming fishing villages and some nice beaches nearby. An eighteen hole golf course is about 45 minutes' drive away near Linguaglossa.
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.
We can also arrange for you to over fly Mount Etna and many other sites, or to make excursions to the Aeolian Islands, by helicopter.
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.
From the Guest Book

Don Venerando was excellent. The quality of the house was superior to others we rented in the past. The air conditioning worked well despite the heat. We loved the house, the staff and cooks were helpful and attentive. The food was delicious and our activities were impressive. We all had a memorable time.

I have to make special reference to the staff. They were just amazing. Nothing was too much trouble.
Verified guest, September 2017
Don Venerando is the perfect villa for a family group of adults. All the rooms are equally ideal with gorgeous views and en-suites and there is absolutely no fighting about who has the best one! The villa's staff were extremely helpful and went out of their way to prepare things for the children. The cook was superb.
