GALEA FARMHOUSE & RESTAURANT
Your relax among the mediterranean colours
ABOUT
Swimming pool in the garden, typical Sicilian cuisine, on the slopes of Etna and a stone's throw from the sea. Close to Taormina and Catania, the farmhouse Galea offers you a holiday of relaxation, sport and good food.
Galea is the result of the masterly renovation of old rural houses surrended in an 18-hectare organic lemon grove, owned by the Costarelli-Busà family, who wanted to create environments that offer the most modern comforts, while keeping the original architecture typical of Sicilian farms in its natural rusticity.
Air-conditioned rooms, free wireless internet access, an outdoor swimming pool equipped with deckchairs and sunbeds, a kiosk by the pool, and a km 0 restaurant are just some of the many services available to our guests.
The structure has nineteen rooms (eleven Superior and eight Standard), all with independent entrance and private bathroom, where you can stay choosing between B&B or half board.
Nature excursions (Etna Sud, Etna Nord, Alcantara, Taormina etc.) and wellness treatments can be booked on the day at the reception. Shuttle service to and from the airport on request.
OUR ROOMS
All our twenty rooms have an independent entrance and private bathroom, air conditioning, free WiFi, satellite TV, fridge and kettle. Moreover, they are close with a children's playground and free private parking.
From all of the nineteen rooms you can enjoy a splendid panorama and have breakfast without leaving the building.
You can choose to stay there on B&B or half-board basis.
Eleven rooms are of the Superior type and are located near the swimming pool and the restaurant. They offer the possibility of an in-room dinner or breakfast service.
The remaining eight rooms are Standard rooms and are located approximately eight hundred metres from the main building, which can be reached by car or on foot using the public road.
