Casa MELA located between the sea and Mount Etna is an excellent base for couples and families wanting to explore eastern Sicily. It is unbeatable for its strategic location in the centre of all the major attractions in the area, ideal when arriving by car (just a few minutes from the Giarre motorway exit) and perfect for those who want to travel using only public transport. In fact, the accommodation is a 7-minute walk from the railway station that connects directly to the airport of Catania, Taormina, Acireale, Siracusa or alternatively 5 minutes from the bus stop that connects to the same major tourist destinations but also to the authentic seaside or foothill towns. MELA is a recently renovated accommodation in the historic centre, has a private entrance and is located on the first floor. It is equipped with a bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a small living room furnished as a second bedroom (sofa bed present) and a large kitchen equipped with everything necessary with an additional living room area that can possibly be used as an additional sleeping place. The gem of the house is the terrace elegantly equipped with a gazebo, a relaxation area, table and chairs for enjoying a good granita in the morning, an aperitif, or a barbecue with good local fish from the nearby fishmongers.
Hospitality for profession and passion
House in the historic and commercial centre of a typical small town between the sea and Etna, a few steps from bars, restaurants, shops, pharmacy, post office, and 5/8 minutes walk from the bus stop or train station that connect with Catania Airport and the most renowned resorts on the east coast such as Taormina, Acireale, Syracuse.
