We stayed in Tenuta Santa Tecla in Oct 2011 as part of a 2 week trip to Sicily, driving around the island, staying in a total of 3 hotels. Tenuta Santa Tecla was our longest hotel stay; for 7 nights. We flew into Catania airport, hired a car, and drove 30 minutes to inbetween Acireale/Santa Tecla where the hotel is... More

We spent one week at the Tenuta and what a wonderful place it is: perched on the slopes of Mont Aetna we even wittnessed an eruption of the vulcano! The place of wonderfully located in an olive and citrus tree plantation, is is quiet and the owners do everything to make ones stay as perfect as possible. The pool is... More

We have recently spent a week at this beautiful Tenuta centrally located between Catania and Taormina. The views of the neighbouring valley extending to the sea shore are extraordinary. The Tenuta is facing EAST so for those who wake early, experiencing sunrise is a must. The amenities of the place are top notch with good WIFI access, comfortable beds and... More

our room was great and the pool and view was amazing. The owners were friendly. It would be helpful if there is an information package in the room setting out the neighhouring sites and recommended restaurants etc. We got this info by asking but it would have been better to be in the room. The breakfast should have been complimentary.... More

Back home after a wonderfull 9-day stay in Tenuta Santa Tecla with our two kids. Tenuta Santa Tecla is an ideal base to visit the eastern part of Sicily. We have visited all the main cities between Syracuse and Milazzo in the north (1,5 hours) and even took the ferry for the day to Vulcano (super!). The walks in the... More

Located on a hill just above Santa Tecla (Acireale) the house is located perfectly for many excursions. Going up the impressive Etna, visit Taormina, Acireale, but also Catania and Syracuse. it's all in a perfect driving distance.

Unfortunately even though I would consider myself an accomplished DIY traveller, I found it very hard to find muchy relevant information online. Finding accomodation was therefore... More
