Casa indipendente in Via Luigi Capuana s.n.c, Piazza Dante, Acireale,

The cluster is on the Ionian side of eastern Sicily, on the lava terrace between Mount Etna and the sea. The Timpa di Acireale, a protected coastal escarpment and nature reserve, is within the area, with basalt cliffs and Mediterranean scrub above the shoreline. Mount Etna is the dominant mountain landscape inland, and the lower eastern slopes begin close to the town. The coast here is rocky rather than sandy, with small lava inlets at Santa Maria la Scala and the Cyclops Riviera around Aci Trezza a little to the south. The nearest ski lifts are on Etna, roughly an hour to Piano Provenzana or Rifugio Sapienza depending on road conditions. Catania is the nearest large city, with the airport, major rail links, a university and full urban services. Acireale itself is known for its Baroque centre and for the Carnival of Acireale.
