B&B CASA LARALISA

Our B&B is situated on the Riviera of the Cyclops, a few minutes on foot from the sea at Capomulini, Acitrezza, the natural Reserve of the Timpa and the wonderful baroque of Acireale. We can be found on the ancient road ”via dei Mulini”, surrounded by antique mills and watercourses. The mills of the ”Reitana” are proof of a farming civilization long gone. The ”via dei mulini” is an enjoyable walk along ancient pathways, were you can see lemon and olive trees, typical Mediterranean flora, and several mills which were used in the production of flour.
Continuing the path you will arrive at the sea, and come across a fishing village which was narrated in Verga’s novel “I Malavoglia”. Guided by the lighthouse of Capomulini, you can immerse yourself in the fresh waters of the Ionian Sea. The house, built according to the criteria of “green building”, has four rooms each with an adjacent bathroom and a terrace with sea view, surrounded by lush vegetation.
