Spacious touring pitches (added by manager 11 Sep 2015)

Tent pitches with plenty of room for your equipment

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.

Djwané R. Aug 2024

Electric optional grass tent pitch (two person)

Liked: Grand camping permettant de choisir assez librement son emplacement, avec de beaux arbres. Le site est poétique. La mer est magnifique avec vue sur l'Etna. Très bonne cuisine. Gérant accueillant. Possibilité de faire charger les téléphones et de mettre les glaçons au congélateur. Petite supérette avec de l'eau ouverte tard dans la nuit. La mer à 500 mètres.

Disliked: La route pour aller à la mer n'est pas piétonne, les voitures roulent très vite c'est dangereux. Pas de navette pour aller dans d'autres villes, sans véhicule on se sent vite coincés. Pour prendre le bus, il faut marcher 20 minutes sur une route sinueuse dangereuse, avec des chats morts écrasés partout. Aucune ombre et les bus sont toujours très en retard. Dernier bus départ de Taormina à 20h30, impossible donc de manger dehors. Les taxis sont exorbitants : 20 euros pour 5 min. Très peu de restaurants autour du camping, pas de supermarché. Il faudrait absolument créer un espace piéton sur cette route, et une navette de la plage à Taormina. Douches propres mais poubelles pourraient être changées plus souvent, étant donné l'interdiction de mettre du Papier toilette dans les WC.

Liked: Der. Platz ist schattig, großzügige Plätze, Duschen und Toiletten sind sauber. Ausflügen über den Campingplatz buchbar und wir wurden sogar zum Bus gefahren.

Disliked: Leider ist der Weg zum Strand an einer stark befahrenen Straße ohne Fußweg 500m lang . Und die einige Türen der Duschen lassen sich nicht schließen

Electric optional grass tent pitch (four person)

Liked: Really friendly and helpful owner. Fresh bread and croissants every morning. The small shop had all of the essentials. Delicious homecooked food in the restaurant. Only a short walk to the beach. Perfect location for visiting Etna, gorge and Taormina. Toilets and showers were not posh but were spotlessly clean.

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.
