Chi-Chi
Lovely contemporary & comfortable apartment with its own little private garden, set back from the road in a gated development. Very quiet and safe, especially for small children. Massimo couldn't have been more helpful, or on hand when needed. Bakery and cafe just round the corner for delicious freshly squeezed orange juice and pastries for breakfast. This part of Sicily has lots of stunning places to visit. In particular Taormina, which we visited twice. Beautiful beaches, and a cable car up to the town centre, with its winding pedestrian streets and abundance of delicious restaurants & historic architecture. The Amphitheatre is most definitely worth the walk.

Super expérience +++ C'était un plaisir de passer quelques nuits ici ! L'appartement est top ! Très moderne dans son agencement, son design, sa décoration, avec un jardin privatif, une grande véranda,…
Séjour tout à fait exceptionnel. Notre logement préféré en Sicile (nous avons fait 5 Airbnb durant nos vacances). Merci pour ton accueil, et pour la flexibilité des heures d'arrivée et de départ.
THE CITY
Aci Castello (Sicilian: Jaci Casteḍḍu) is a comune in the Province of Catania in Sicily, Italy. The city is located 9 kilometres (6 mi) north of Catania on the Mediterranean coast. The primary economic sectors are agriculture and industry (in Catania). The city is neighbored by Aci Catena, Acireale, Catania, San Gregorio di Catania and Valverde.
The town of Aci Castello developed around the castle, which was built in 1076 by the Normans upon the foundations of a 7th-century Byzantine fortification. In 1169, Aci Castello started to expand after an eruption of Mount Etna made the towns in its vicinity uninhabitable. The castle later became the property of the bishops of Catania.
In 1296, Roger of Lauria, admiral of the Aragonese fleet during the War of the Sicilian Vespers, was granted the fief of Aci and its castle as a reward for his faithful service to King Frederick III of Sicily. When relations between the two men soured and di Lauria transferred his loyalties to the Angevins, the castle was besieged and captured by King Frederick and di Lauria stripped of his fiefs. In 1320, the castle and Aci were taken from Roger's descendant, Margaret of Lauria and given to Blasco II de Alagona. Whilst the latter was away defending Palermo from the attacking Angevins, Bertrando di Balzo sacked Aci in his absence.
