Boutique hotel with panoramic rooftop terrace views of the Ancient Greek Theater and Mount Etna

Terrace & Views

The rooftop terrace at Casa Turchetti offers 360-degree views that include the Ancient Greek Theater, Mount Etna, and the Ionian Sea. Sun loungers and a shaded pergola provide spaces for relaxation throughout the day. In the evening, the terrace transforms into a spot for aperitivo drinks served by the owners.

Breakfast is served on the terrace and includes local Sicilian meats, cheeses, fresh fruits, and homemade cakes baked daily by owner Francesca. Gluten and dairy-free options are available upon request, and takeaway breakfasts are prepared for early departures. Aperitivo cocktails, such as Francesca's spritzes and homemade limoncello, are offered in the late afternoon.

Casa Turchetti offers rooms named after musical terms, such as the Accademia suite with two super king beds, a mezzanine area, and two bathrooms. The Lira room has a balcony looking toward the Ancient Greek Theater, while the Flute room includes an original Spanish bed with a silver-plated frame. All rooms are air-conditioned and feature private bathrooms with premium amenities.
