If you are considering spending your holiday on Sicily’s South East coast, you are probably drawn to the area due to the incredible range of beaches. One of the most popular beaches in the town of Arenella is Spiaggia dell'Arenella which is just a short stroll away from the home. This beach has something for everyone as one end is a rocky beach while the other end has an expanse of golden sand. You can choose from free, natural areas and beach clubs with sun loungers to hire. For a quieter beach you could spend the day at Lido Le Nereidi Beach which is a brilliant, serviced beach club, few steps away from the villa.

The restaurant here serves everything from breakfast to fresh local sea food and there are changing facilities on site. If you would prefer a serene beach, backed by walking routes and forest trails, why not pay a visit to the stunning Plemmirio Nature Reserve, a protected area of parkland which is 8km away.

In addition to spending time outdoors at the nearby beaches, you can also explore the local woodlands, parks and even inland caves on hikes and scenic walks. If this sounds a little too energetic, you could pay a visit to one of the vineyards in the area such as Cantine Gulino which is few kilometers away. Here you can tour the grounds, taste the wines and pick up a few bottles to take home for dinner. Another way to see more of this beautiful area is to take a boat trip from Arenella; you could take a trip around the south coast where you can stop off to swim in the sea and explore magical caves, or you could take a boat tour to Ortigia island.

Arenella is a great place to stay for those who love days at the beach, but it is also an ideal location for spending the day visiting the city of Syracuse which is 12km away. Syracuse is an incredible city which is steeped in history; this is an ancient city which is packed with historic attractions such as the popular Archaeological Park Neapolis where you can discover the vast cave known as the Ear of Dionysius and an amazing Greek theatre.
