This Sicilian campsite sits between Mount Etna and the sea, offering direct access to a small pebble beach with refreshingly cool waters. The location is a major draw, providing stunning sea views and easy access to Taormina, the Alcantara Gorge, and local bus stops. Pitches vary from sunny concrete spots by the water to shaded grassy areas, though assignment is strictly managed by staff rather than guest choice. Sanitary facilities are clean but outdated, with some rusted fittings and coin-operated hot showers that cost extra. The staff receive mixed reviews: some praise the friendliness and helpfulness of the management, while others find them unfriendly, rigid, or inflexible. The bar and restaurant may be closed during low season, but food delivery to pitches is possible, and a supermarket is conveniently located next door. Dogs are allowed but with restrictions, and a cat colony roams the site. The campsite enforces a midday quiet period, contributing to a peaceful atmosphere. Electricity is metered, and extra fees may apply for high usage, grey water disposal on short stays, or late check-out. The value for money is considered good by many, especially for short stays or when using ACSI discounts, though some find the full rate overpriced. Overall, this is a charming, family-run site that serves as a convenient base for exploring Sicily's east coast, offering an affordable seaside escape with a nostalgic camping feel.
