Gennaro
Etna Shelter Holiday House is located halfway between the beaches of the Gulf of Catania and the striking Etna landscapes. The structure is surrounded by greenery and is perfect for those who want to spend their holiday relaxing and comfort. Also suitable for those who love to visit places of great cultural and scenic interest. The house consists of an "open space" living room with a double sofa bed and a plasma TV and a well-stocked kitchen. The apartment has a double bedroom with an external bathroom and a suite with a private bathroom and three beds (one double and one single bed). It is possible to use the swimming pool from 9.00 to 18.00 and the spacious garden during the summer. In addition, for those who want to try the typical Mediterranean cuisine you can book breakfast, lunch and dinner thanks to the restaurant service on the ground floor of the structure. Only the people who stay in the structure have permission to access the pool as well as in the house. Our structure is located in an exclusive street for residents only and without traffic that allows you to spend your holidays in absolute tranquility.
My name is Gennaro and I am a young graduate in International Relations. I love intercultural exchange and confront different cultures. The love for my land of origin, Sicily, and for the tourism world, pushed me to create a unique and refined apartment, surrounded by greenery and far from the traffic of the city. I like being able to give suggestions and advice to my guests about the most suggestive places to visit and provide all the necessary information so that they can make the most of their vacation days in our beautiful island. I am a sociable, available and flexible person. I love interacting with my guests and making their stay as pleasant as possible.
Mascalucia is a small village on the slopes of Etna located in a strategic place between the sea and the Etna volcano. It's twenty-five minutes by car from the city of Catania and thirty-five from the most important meeting point of the Etna area, Rifugio Sapienza. The village has restaurants, bars, cinemas, shops and general services. The nearest shopping center "Katane" is only 12 minutes away from the apartment while the nearest supermarket is only a five minute walk away. Among the most important monuments to visit we find: - Church of Santa Maria della Consolazione (Mother Church) - Church of San Vito - Church of Maria Santissima Annunziata - Sanctuary of the Madonna della Sciara - Passionist Fathers of Mascalucia
