A LOCATION WITH EVERYTHING

Just 60 metres from the beach, the natural marine reserve of the Riviera dei Ciclopi and the famous Faraglioni rock formations, this stupendous area of natural beauty is a fantastic place to go scuba-diving or on a sailboat excursion in the crystalline waters of the Ionian Sea. Nearby are the historical cities of Siracusa and Catania, all under the imposing figure of Europe’s largest active volcano.

THE RIVIERA OF THE CYCLOPS

This protected marine nature reserve is a truly breathtaking spot to either relax on the beach and enjoy the lapping waters or go on the variety of activities and excursions on offer, such as scuba diving, fishing and mini-cruises, all around the very spot where the cyclops threw the rocks at Ulysses!

The 4-Star Malavoglia family Hotel is on the left as you enter the town of Acitrezza on Via Provinciale, you can’t miss us!
