Torre Archirafi is a suggestive mariner village, since XVIII cent. grown near a ferry port on the 'Ionic Riviera', the East coast of Sicily It's located at 2 km from the 'Porto dell'Etna', the new ferry port of Riposto, the nearest commercial town. About 15 km going to North you find Taormina, where you can visit its ancient Greek-roman theater or appreciate the fantastic panoramic terrace called 'Belvedere'. Or you can go to Acireale, a little city at 10 km South, plenty of XVII cent. churches & so called 'Valle del Barocco'. In half an hour by highway you can move to Catania the nearest big city, with its historic centre & important buildings of '700, '800 and '900. In about two hours you can go to Siracusa, the ancient Greek-city, or to the many XVII towns of its territory. In Torre Archirafi there are also geographical attractions during all the year: you can try different king of beaches (rocks, sand, gravel..) or have funny daily excursions to Aeolian Islands or to Etna Mount.

Villa le Ancore

nicky01 arkansas, USA
Review Submitted: July 16, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Villa Le Ancore is a beautiful property, large and gracious, very clean and very nicely and comfortably furnished. Just steps away on the other side of a narrow street in front is the ocean with a nice walkway along it. The views are fantastic. The description, which mentions the wonderful ground floor terrace, doesn't even mention the fact that there are terraces on two other levels. Our wonderful surprise was the great rooftop terrace. There is an outside staircase leading to the huge rooftop terrace that has the beautiful view of the ocean and coastline to Taormina but also of Mt Etna. We were lucky enough to see it very clearly on several of the days we were there. The pictures on this website are exactly what the house looks like and the description is accurate. Also, the owners are extremely nice and helpful. They provided us with lots of useful information and were very willing to answer all of our questions. They were also genuinely interested in making sure we were satisfied. During our very nice welcome to the villa we were given a tour and some instructions and encouraged to call if there were any problems (we did not need to call). There are also buses and a train station nearby and there are restaurants within walking distance. In fact it is a short and very pleasant walk to the marina in Riposto and to the smaller village of Torre Archirafi in the other direction. We ate at several very good restaurants nearby, two of which were in the Blue Guide (Marricriu was one and I think the other is called Bistro di Porto which is right at the marina). There was also a place to get a gelato just a short walk away. The villa was located very conveniently for exploring the east coast of Sicily and it was not difficult to get to or from the airport in Catania. There's a convenient shopping center just 10 minutes away with a large grocery store. If you like to cook there were plenty of dishes and cookware provided. We ate only breakfast and some lunches at the villa and went out for dinner. But it was so much nicer than being in a hotel. Because the highway is only 10 minutes away it's probably possible to visit further places without much problem like Agrigento and Palermo. We enjoyed lunch on the front terrace several times and some days we returned in time for sunset over Mt Etna from the rooftop terrace which was wonderful. Buon viaggio!

Villa Le Ancore

vikaby Paris / FRANCE
Review Submitted: July 2, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Very beautiful villa with lot of space, beautiful terraces. On the one hand we have the frontal view on the sea, on the other side of Mount Etna. The house is very warm, well-appointed - ideal for large families. Villa LE ANCORE is the most beautiful house in the city of Torre Archirafi! We were welcomed by the owner, a case of problem, she is there within 10 minutes. For people who want to be in a place outside the mass tourism, it is perfect. We met no other tourists! It is a fishing town, very family. Prices in restaurants, bar are minimal. The strategic position for excursions like Catania, Taormina, Etna, Siracusa, Messina ext. One negative point, facing the house the beach is with stones, for to go to sandy beach, take the car.
Thank you very much!

wonderful Sicily

Review Submitted: July 1, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
My family, two couples of friends and I were at " Villa le Ancore", in the first week of June. It is a comfortable and cosy house with a beautiful terrace seaside where you can admire a wonderful view. The sun rise is unforgettable at dawn. Even more you can admire in the terrace above the house : a wonderful view of Etna.We have done a lot of interesting tour itineraries: taormina, Siracusa, Acireale, Etna...
Thanks to the landlady, a very helpful and kind woman and thanks for the welcome full of colours and for our unforgettable stay in the wonderful Sicily!

Villa

Ericaoscar Lappeenranta, Finland
Review Submitted: April 28, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
The villa was very spacious with lovely terraces around the house and the location is great on the waterfront. There's also some bars and restaurants in the vicinity and more in the near cities Riposto and Giarre. Only problem was to find the way to the villa as the roads in Sicily are very small and without good signs, which naturally isn't a fault of the villa.

My group of 5 persons was else very satisfied with the villa, but there are a couple of such a big things which needs fixing before you can call the villa as "luxury". The first and biggest thing is the bathrooms. They didn't work so well, neither toalets or showers for the reason that the villa must be at least 20 years old and there haven't been any renovating after the buildingwork. Normally in Italy the bathrooms are often the best part of the apartment.

Another thing was the gas stove which luckily had also one electric ring, as the gas rings didn't cook nearly anything because of very small flames (even my local friend tried to fix it without any success). So we made only breakfast in the villa and else were eating out.
