Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This fantastic home is perfect for large groups. It’s made up of four apartments and a cosy annex, all with access to the delightful gardens and swimming pool. There’s a small inlet with a rocky beach just a few steps from the garden, and you’re in a great spot for exploring the island of Lachea by boat, or for visiting the park of Mount Etna. The style of each apartment varies, with some much more modern than others, but we think the waterfront setting and flexible sleeping arrangements make it a great option for groups of family or friends.
