Welcome to Graniti: Experience Authentic Sicilian Village Life

Discover the charm of Graniti, a hidden gem tucked away from the bustling tourist paths. Here, you’ll find yourself staying in beautifully restored village houses that embody the spirit of traditional Sicily. Nestled along narrow, winding streets overlooking the lively piazza, our accommodations offer the perfect blend of history and comfort. Wake up to flowering oleander trees, and the sounds of locals greeting one another, and enjoy a morning cappuccino at the cosy bar just around the corner. Relish an evening at the beloved Flora Restaurant for authentic Sicilian pizza or strike up a friendly chat at the village supermarket—these everyday encounters offer a glimpse into the genuine, warm-hearted Sicilian lifestyle.

While Graniti offers an intimate, off-the-beaten-path experience, some of Sicily’s most famous attractions are just a short drive away. The renowned town of Taormina and the beautiful beaches of Giardini Naxos are a mere 10 minutes from your door. For a taste of Sicily’s unique landscapes, venture out to the wineries on Mount Etna, take an excursion to explore the volcano, wander through the vibrant fish market in Catania, or spend a day in the stunning city of Syracuse. Even the breathtaking Aeolian Islands are within easy reach, offering countless opportunities for adventure and exploration.

Sicily truly offers it all. As the poet Goethe once said, “Italy without Sicily leaves no image in the soul: here is the key to everything.” Let Graniti be your gateway to an unforgettable Sicilian journey.

Welcome and Benvenuti!

Casa Nina is Salvatore’s birthplace. Once left to his mother by his grandfather, Salvi inherited it from his mother a few years ago. We have gently renovated it in the Sicilian style with hand-painted ceramic tiles, terracotta tiles, stone arches and great attention to detail.

A typical Sicilian village house, located in a narrow alley (traffic-free). The rooms are spread over 3 floors. In the entrance area there is a pull-out sofa bed and a small toilet.

The dining table and small sofa offer enough space for a family of 4-5. The kitchen and bathroom both open onto the balcony.

Casa dell’Artista is a small village house right next to the church of San Sebastiano, with a balcony and a view of flowering oleander trees and life on the piazza. We renovated it with local craftsmen and lots of love. We included the old beams, antique stone arches, the creaky wooden staircase and the hand-painted ceramic tiles in the kitchen in the renovation and kept them from their original state.

From the entrance area, a wooden staircase leads to the first floor, where there is the living-dining room, a small, well-equipped kitchen with gas stove, dishwasher and refrigerator, and a comfortable bathroom with shower. An open staircase leads to the gallery where a comfortable double bed invites you to dream under the roof with a skylight. In the entrance area on the ground floor, a spacious pull-out day bed offers additional sleeping space for 1-2 more people (with its own toilet).

Satellite TV and air conditioning are available. A washing machine is available. Free parking in front of the house. Bed linen and towels are provided. Beach towels are available. In winter, firewood for the Swedish stove is available in the entrance area. Linen changes weekly. Intermediate cleaning is possible. Final cleaning flat rate € 50.-.
