This charming, historic holiday home in Santa Tecla, a hamlet of Acireale, just 20 metres from the beach, is ideal for a family with children or a group of friends. At present, and only temporarily, the part of the garden facing the sea is inaccessible due to the recent storm surges caused by Cyclone Harry. We are awaiting the necessary administrative approvals to proceed with the restoration of the damaged area as soon as possible. Please note that, in any case, the small courtyard with its attached shower remains fully functional as before. Restaurants, pizzerias, a kiosk-bar, a small but well-stocked shop and the supermarket are all within easy reach, so do go out and try the local cuisine. The Garitta di Santa Tecla, a Saracen watchtower 750 metres from our house, is also a lovely place to visit at least once. Enjoy preparing typical regional dishes in the well-equipped kitchen or sipping an aperitif on the terrace with its spectacular views. Please switch off the air conditioning when leaving the house for more than an hour and close the awnings and shutters on windy days.
