“We spent one week in Falcone in Sicily, courtesy of Antonella. The house is beautiful, clean, spacious and just what we needed for our vacation. The Eolian Islands nearby are well worth a visit, sulphur bath and black sandy beach on Lipari. one of the islands which are very accessible. We travelled many places in Sicily and loved the peace and tranquility of Antonellas lovely home. Sicily is indeed the jewel of the Mediterranean. Thank you so much.”

About our home
Small house with a garden, newly refurbished, in a quiet residential area close to the sea. From the garden you can can see Vulcano, one of the Eolian islands. It is very simple, has a main double bedroom, two more single beds on the loft above the large living room. It has an interal brand new kitchen, and an external kitchen (quite customary in Sicily, where in the summer people cook and eat in the outside patio or garden). A shady, cool patio runs alongside the house.
The well known beautiful Marinello beach lies at ca. 3 km distance (3 adult bycicles avialable, we do not generaly use the car if not to travel to larger cities nearby); the walk to a smaller beach is only 10 minutes. The closest village, and shopping for groceries etc., is 10 minutes away on foot.
You can get there by car or by train (you can travel to Catania ariport or to Messina and get buses/trains to our little village).

Antonella's reviews
As a host (8)“À good solution to enjoy Sicilian see and stay quiet in a nice place full of useful services.”
“La casa de antonella es preciosa y tiene todo lo que se puede necesitar. el único incoveniente es que en la habitacion superior como era pleno agosto a pesar del aire acondicionado hacia mucho calor. la comunicación fue perfecta en todo momento. Está cerca de la playa de los lagos de martinello que es una de las playas que más nos ha gustado de sicilia. Imprescindible ir con coche. Gracias por todo Antonella y Jana! ”
“Antonella' house is what you exactly expect for a Sicily vacation home: clean, effectively managed and comfortable, both in the inside part and in the patio. We recommend using it like we did, as a base for visiting the astonishing sorroundings with a rental car. It was our first trip to Sicily and we spent two exciting day trips to the Eolian islands, one to Taormina and Gole di Alcantara, using the house for relaxing intervals of afternoons on the patio or mornings on the local beach. The house is located in a private residential area, surrounded by other similar vacation homes. As everybody knows about Sicily, the food all around is yummy and not expensive, and you can count on coming back with an extra kilogram on your shoulders, but truly satisfied. ”
“I swapped with Antonella to include a stay both in her main home in Milan and holiday home on Sicily. Both parts of the trip were brilliant and Antonella was a thoughtful and communicative host. I would highly recommend. ”
“We had a lovely break at Antonella's holiday house. We could walk to the nearest beach at Falcone. The Marinella Lago Natural Park was a great discovery, as was Tindari, Patti and Milazzo, We drove through the tunnels of the motorway to visit Palermo, which was wonderful and the house was easily accessible from Catania”
“Antonella's house gives a perfect taste of Sicily. The warm courtyard garden, with scented shrubs and views of olive trees (and with its outside kitchen!) is perfect for warm evenings. The sea is walking distance, and there are excellent fresh fruit and vegetables in the town, as well as freshly caught fish (go early). We had a lovely time. Thanks Antonella!”
“Small house between the railroad and the motorway, about 1 km to the services of Falcone. We managed mainly without a car, but I would recommend to have one. The garden is a bit small too, so not too much playing area for kids, although nice to enjoy meals there. Good base for exploring the north east corner of Sicily with a car.”
