  • Peaceful woodland site half a kilometre from the sea
  • Under 10 minutes' drive from Calatabiano and its spectacular castle
  • Excursions and other activities available on site
Now see this for a serene seaside holiday in Sicily… peaceful Camping Almoetia is in mild and sunny climes, in a spacious woodland setting an easy half-kilometre from the Ionian Sea. The terraced pitches here are generously sized and have plenty of room for all your kit: you'll probably want to bring bikes, watersports bits, beach towels aplenty and your comfiest walking boots for getting out around this lush part of north-eastern coast… The grounds cover two hectares if you'd rather wander around site instead, seeking your own serene spot. Almoetia is less than 10 minutes' drive or within simple cycling distance of Calatabiano, 60 metres above sea level and about 58 kilometres from ancient Messina. Old sites and sights galore are easily reached from here, such as Catania, Syracuse and Italy's oldest active volcano Mount Etna, all within an hour's drive; Calatabiano is also part of the Alcantara canyons, gorges and river park area for nature days and hikes. Facilities include a play area, a TV room and a shop. There are toilets and showers, charging facilities, ice pack freezing and gas cylinder sales; barbecues and campfires are both allowed.

What customers say

This is a quiet and clean campsite with spacious, shaded pitches offering views of Mount Etna. Guests consistently praise the friendly and helpful staff, with particular mention of the owner Davide. Facilities, including showers with free hot water, are generally described as clean, though some noted they could be improved. While the beach is a short walk or cycle away, access can be via a busy road, and the promenade has experienced damage from severe weather. Some on-site amenities like the restaurant and shop may be closed during the off-season.

From the manager: Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for choosing Camping Almoetia.

We are sorry that the nearby beach and some local services did not meet your expectations during your visit. Unfortunately, the coastline had recently been affected by severe weather conditions and recovery work was still ongoing at that time.
We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back in the future, when both the beach and the surrounding area can be enjoyed at their very best.

Best regards,
The Camping Almoetia Team

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Liebe/r Rudolf J.,

vielen herzlichen Dank für Ihre schöne Bewertung und die freundlichen Worte über Ihren Aufenthalt bei uns.
Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie den großen Stellplatz, den Empfang und auch die Zitronen aus unserem Garten geschätzt haben 😊 Ebenso sind wir froh, dass Ihnen die Nähe zum Strand gefallen hat.

Bezüglich der Strandpromenade möchten wir gerne kurz informieren: Leider wurde dieser Bereich durch einen außergewöhnlich starken Zyklon und die heftigen Regenfälle stark beschädigt. Die Instandsetzung liegt in der Verantwortung der Gemeinde, die bereits an den notwendigen Maßnahmen arbeitet, um alles so schnell wie möglich wiederherzustellen.

Wir hoffen sehr, Sie bald wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen – vielleicht bei Ihrer nächsten Reise mit noch schönerer Promenade!

Herzliche Grüße,
Camping Almoetia

Electric optional grass motorhome pitch

Liked La zona è bella con la spiaggia di San Marco a 400 metri a piedi (attenzione alla strada trafficata) ed il campeggio con piazzole spaziose e pulite ed abbastanza in piano. Gestori disponibili e riservati. I servizi ampi sufficientemente curati, docce calde comprese nel prezzo senza limiti, qualche manutenzione alle porte che non si chiudono necessarie. Ombreggiato per lo più sotto alberi ma c'è il vento secco la sera che asciuga eventuali accappatoi e asciugamani del mare.
Direi tra i 4 campeggi frequentati in Sicilia nel nostro tour è stato il migliore!

Disliked Ci sono tante formiche ma del resto siamo all'aperto, organizzarsi.

Local attractions

From food to nature to history to more food (well, it's Sicily), you'll find heaps to do around the island and the site surroundings. Golden beaches, clear waters and boat trips around Sicily's islands are easy to sort from here too. Start off at local town Calatabiano to see its ninth-century Arab and Norman castle high up above the town, reachable via a funicular railway lift and with spectacular views over the island (settle down in the restaurant to take your time drinking these in). You can hike back down to the town from here along the track past the church, to come out at the villlage square for a drink or a coffee. From Calatabiano, it's about 50 minutes' drive or just over an hour and a half by bus to reach Messina, the ancient settlement on Sicily's north-eastern tip. Among the many sights here are the 12th-century cathedral, the Palazzo Calapaj, the 16th-century San Ranieri lighthouse, and the old gate of the Porta Grazia, a fortress still standing at Messina's harbour. The Galleria d'Arte Contemporanea di Messina, showcasing contemporary works owned by the city, is a popular stop for arty sorts.
