Nestled between the sea and Mount Etna, surrounded by a Mediterranean landscape filled with scents and colors, Tenuta Santa Tecla invites its guests to experience an oasis of tranquility and beauty. The historic wine cellar from the early 20th century and the family cottages have been meticulously restored, now serving as rooms, suites, and apartments enveloped by organic citrus groves and lush botanical gardens.

Every corner of the estate is designed to enhance well-being: from the swimming pool with views of ancient olive trees that provide shade for reading, to the private Jacuzzi and the sensory experiences available in the SPA, which can be booked for moments of relaxation in complete privacy. Children can enjoy the playground and the educational farm, where they can interact with Tibetan goats, donkeys, chickens, and ducks that roam freely in the expansive green area.

A rich buffet awaits you at breakfast, featuring sweet and savory options, including homemade cakes, freshly squeezed orange and lemon juices, organic jams, eggs from the estate's hens, and a selection of products curated for a healthy and wholesome diet. The ingredients come straight from the organic garden and are complemented by homemade bread, almond milk, yogurt, cereals, and fresh fruit.

In addition to Superior and Deluxe double rooms, the spacious 50 sqm suites and apartments accommodating 2 to 5 guests provide versatile options for every need. Each accommodation is air-conditioned, has a private bathroom, Wi-Fi, minibar, coffee machine, and access to well-maintained outdoor areas. The property is pet-friendly, accessible for guests with disabilities, and can host up to 26 people.

Tenuta Santa Tecla is located in the village of Santa Tecla, just a few kilometers from Acireale, in a fertile area rich in thermal waters, and is a short distance from beaches and the natural wonders of Mount Etna. Nearby, guests can enjoy hiking, cycling, visiting historic villages, wineries, and local artisans, or relax with a wellness treatment or a stroll among the more than one hundred types of citrus fruits cultivated on the estate.

Nicole and the staff at the estate are delighted to welcome you with the warmth of true Sicilian hospitality, providing assistance in Italian, English, and French to ensure that each stay is a memorable experience.

Area Campagna

The Santa Tecla Estate is located in the small coastal village of Santa Tecla, a district of Acireale, on the eastern coast of Sicily. This area, nestled between the Ionian Sea and the slopes of Mount Etna, presents a unique landscape where the power of nature reveals its beauty. The vibrant colors of the sea blend with those of the countryside, featuring citrus groves, terraced lava fields, and cultivated landscapes, creating stunning scenery in every season.

Santa Tecla is famous for its waterfront that overlooks a lava cliff, which opens up to small natural harbors and coves ideal for swimming in the clear waters. Nearby, Acireale captivates visitors with its baroque historic center, noble villas, and renowned thermal baths, once a popular destination for Sicilian nobility. The Thermal Park and the Opera House enhance the cultural offerings of this vibrant and authentic town.

The region is also an excellent starting point for exploring the wonders of Mount Etna, with trekking paths, crater visits, off-road excursions, and stops at the wineries on the eastern slope, known for producing volcanic wines. In less than half an hour, one can reach Catania, with its architectural heritage, fish market, and the lively energy of a university city. Surrounding areas include fishing villages like Aci Trezza and Aci Castello, tied to the myths of Ulysses and the Cyclopes, as well as nature reserves like Timpa, where the sea meets basalt cliffs and paths wind through broom bushes.

With its combination of sea, countryside, and volcano, the Santa Tecla area offers an authentic and comprehensive experience: a perfect balance of nature, culture, and culinary traditions.
