Il Casale di Monacella0

This property exceeded our expectations, we really liked everything about it! Once you enter the garden gate you find a beautiful and perfectly kept garden and pool area, as well as a parking area, BBQ area and swings. The Casale is split up in a small number of self-catering apartments each having their own entrance and terrace. Our apartment was fully equipped and extremely clean. The property’s location is in a very quiet and wonderful area close to Mount Etna, making an ideal base to explore Sicily’s east coast. Finally, we were so pleased to have Monica as our wonderful host, as she made sure we enjoyed our stay from the moment we booked till the garden gate closed behind us after an unforgettable week!

There’s really nothing we can criticise about the Casale itself. Perhaps the only thing we didn’t like is that the public street leading up to the property is not so nice as it’s full of rubbish on each side. Unfortunately we witnessed this problem in several other areas between Messina and Syracuse. It seems that this is a public administration issue which is badly affecting the local tourism product.

This was by far the best accommodation me and my girlfriend ever had! It is a very calm and remote destination under the beautiful Etna park where you can relax to the highest level. I recommend a car for this stay since it is a starting point for many trips and you can use a car for grocery shopping too. Each one of the rooms is beautiful, new and well equipped! Each room has its own outside area where you can have breakfasts or dinners. The pool is magnificent. It offers the view of the whole resort and it feels like being somewhere completely else. To anyone considering this stay, either couple or family, I highly recommend it! And do not let me forget to mention Monica, the owner and facilitator. She is one of the nicest, kindest and friendliest owners I talked to ever. Communication with her is excellent, she replies days and nights and tries her best to meet your needs. Big thank you, Monica :)

Even though I am honest person, there is NOTHING I could say was wrong at this stay. It was just as I imagined it would be. I left very pleased and regenerated :)

It was a clean, well equiped apartment on a good location. It has a swimmingpool and a Barbeque-spot to share with the other 5 apartments.

There are houserules regarding use of the pool and noise, but families with kids disregard these rules. Most of the time the pool (even until after 9pm!) is literally taken over by kids. Surely the owner cannot be blamed for this, but a nice relaxing week at the pool is not guaranteed. The apartment complex is “well lit” at night and has many security camera’s which did not feel pleasant. An unexpected security deposit.

The stay was excellent from the start. Monica has contacted us before our stay and was on time for our check in. She greeted us well. The property is a good base for going round East Sicily. It also has anything you might need, an equipped kitchen, washing machine, iron, hair dryer etc... The property is very clean and well kept. The garden is a pleasant relaxing space where both children and adults can enjoy. We highly recommend this property.

A beautiful newly build complex with specious rooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a large garden and nice swimming pool with chairs and umbrella. Owners were waiting to greet us and provided all information to make our stay well worth. Complex is situated in a quiet area but perfect located to make a trip to the Etna, Taomina or Catania. Really great location.

Everything perfect

Amazing and very comfortable accommodation, close to Etna and Taormina. It was super clean, modern and well equipped apartment with amazing swimming pool. Ideal for families with children as it is very calm place and also for teenagers as there is very good WiFi. Very friendly and helpful staff, Monica was great and gave us a lot of advices. From the garden you can see Etna eruptions in the evening.

Monica is the best host in the world ... humane and kind and will take care of everything you need ... the place is perfect clean and nothing is missing ... just think of everything ... the pool is perfect and clean ... in short the place is perfect and magical ... come and enjoy for sure

No complaints ... everything is perfect

Monica and Alfio are very friendly hosts. They will make sure you will have a nice stay. The apartments are brand new, 6 in total, situated in beautiful garden with old olivetrees and colourful plants and a nice big sparkling pool with sunloungers. The apartments are equiped with a kitchen with lavazza coffeemachine, washingmachine, airco in both bedroom and living room, comfortable beds and a private patio. It is in rurale area, 1 restaurant within walking distance, which we didn't try, and more in 4 km radius. From the garden Mt Etna is visible.

Nothing,, everything was perfect

Excellent property with spacious appartments and a beautiful garden area and pool. The accommodation was spotless and modern. The Owner was super helpful and nice. She went out of her way to make our stay both memorable and easy. We can highly recommend this property.

Very clean, modern and well maintained appartement and garden/pool area. The owner Monica was very friendly and professional, helped us with restaurant bookings en was there for any questions we had!

The weather was not the best, but we cannot blame anybody for it of course!
