Terre del Cardinale is an excellent base from which to explore Sicily and the volcano Etna. The village San Giorgio lies in Catania just two kilometres from the highway . Just 10 minutes from Catania and beaches, 15 kilometres from Acireale (a pretty little city, built on a plateau of lava, that is known for its Baroque churches). Giardini Naxos, a seaside resort with a sandy beach, is just 40 km from Terre del Cardinale ( 25 minutes with the highway). Next to Giardini Naxos we find Taormina 'the pearl of the Mediterranean' and one of the most exclusive seaside resorts in Sicily. Its ancient Greek theatre is world famous for its extraordinary panoramic views. Travelling south, 20 minute drive away lies Syracuse and Noto. Terre del Cardinale is also an excellent base from which to explore Mount Etna and its surroundings.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Una vacanza all'insegna del relax e divertimento
sono rientrata da poco dopo aver trascorso una settimana in questa favolosa struttura! appena ristrutturata e immersa in un agrumeto, che ogni mattina ci deliziava dei suoi profumi!piscina ideale e sempre pulita dal personale e possibilità di far giocare in tutta tranquillità i nostri bambini intorno al cortile circostante anche andando a spasso con la bici. inoltre abbiamo avuto la possibilità di effettuare delle escursioni guidate sull'Etna grazie al prezioso aiuto di Matilde, esperta e curatrice dei suoi clienti! lo consiglio vivamente a famiglie e amanti della natura e desiderosi di staccare completamente la spina dalla routine quotidiana!

..."La vera Sicilia.."!!!
“……..Spettacolare!....” Abbiamo soggiornato a fine giugno nella suite Tarocco, veramente romantica, arredata con molto gusto e completa di tutti i comfort, immersa nel silenzio di una natura che profuma di gelsomino e…..di Sicilia. Sembra di stare veramente a casa, una splendida casa, lontana dal caos , ma veramente vicina a tutto, mare, citta, montagna. La colazione è incredibile, ricchissima e unica assolutamente da provare. Ringraziamo la meravigliosa Matilde, la proprietaria, che ha esaudito tutti i nostri desideri.Torneremo sicuramente.

....enchanting!....
What we appreciated and will remember most is the way this beautiful location puts one into contact with nature: fifty acres of orange groves and an enormous variety of other fruit trees and plants... It is also very well placed if you want to visit other important places in Sicily: ten minutes away from Catania, for example, The hospitality and kindness of the owners was disarming and we will always remember this romantic holiday...

UN REVE EVEILLE
Nous avons séjourné dans cet androit magnifique début septembre. Quelle merveille ! tout était parfait : le lieu, la maison superbe et très propre, l'accueil de Mme Matilde, et toutes les activités autour. Un dépaysement total et une succession de journées plus belles les unes que les autres. J'ai beau chercher un défaut, je n'en trouve pas. Nous reviendrons c'est une évidence ! Un excellent rapport qualité / prix. Sans hésitation je vous le conseille !

Nothing like fresh oranges from the tree for breakfast...
Great rooms/apartments, perfect for a couples retreat and really really friendly service from Mathilde and her father. The old vinegar press building apartments have been converted into really great little apartments, ideal for couples escaping it all on the island. Catania isn't really what you'd list as a tourist retreat but the food markets are really worth the visit, especially if you plan on taking advantage of having the mini kitchen in the apartment (it's a little bit too small and under-equipped to call it a full kitchen that's easy to cook say a family meal in every day). However the motorway is only round the corner (as is supermarket supplies) and its easy to get to Noto and the South East or up the coast to the more touristic venues and Etna. You can really tell they are trying to transform the place and the farm is having a good makeover with new crop trees being planted and swimming pools being developed for next year. It's lovely in the evening wandering around picking almonds, figs, pomegranates and oranges from the trees to add to your evening meals or for juicing in the morning for breakfast. There are only 2 problems with the venue. One is the rather limited and very slow broadband, but if you don't mind that sort of thing then I am sure you will love escaping it all here. The second is the approach road to the property from the motorway which is strewn with litter, the entrance way to the property being a bit hidden and also being on a blind bend in the road that the locals treat like a rat-run. However these are certainly nothing compared to being able to watch Etna erupting at night from your apartment doorway like we were lucky enough to do.

Ottimo
Abbiamo soggiornato a fine maggio scorso in questa bella ed elegante residenza che per fortuna conserva ancora il fascino della bella e antica villa di campagna ma con camere e servizi da Suite .(purtroppo a Catania e dintorni abbiamo riscontrato essere cosa rara e con prezzi molto piu alti). noi abbiamo vissuto la vacanza splendidamente dentro un oasi di verde in mezzo agli agrumeti con vista Etna a poca distanza da Catania, non voglio tralasciare la cura nei dettagli della camera e bagno, l'ottima ed abbondante colazione con deliziosi prodotti locali, l'ottimo rapporto qualita/prezzo e la gentilezza di Matilde che ancora voglio ringraziare anche a nome di mia moglie. grazie ancora Giovanni e Giovanna da Firenze

L'ideale per rilassarsi
Abbiamo trascorso una splendida settimana in questa confortevole suite immersa nella campagna siciliana. La casa si trova all'interno di un'enorme tenuta immersa nella natura, un luogo silenzioso e appartato ideale per rilassarsi, ma allo stesso tempo in una posizione ottima per raggiungere in poco tempo le località più belle! Matilde ci ha riservato un'ottima accoglienza, rispondendo a ogni nostra necessità e fornendoci tutte le informazioni necessarie sui posti migliori da visitare. Rimarranno per sempre nei nostri ricordi l'escursione sull'Etna al tramonto che abbiamo prenotato su suo consiglio e la favolosa cena di pesce in un locale tipico di Catania. Grazie Matilde!
