Ciao, we are a Dutch-Sicilian family and look forward to welcoming you to us, Casa Oliva Nera at the foot of Mount Etna.
Davide was born and raised in Catania and Acitrezza and Henriëtte moved from Amsterdam for love and for the relaxed island.

As the writer Goethe said about this island: "Senza vedere la Sicilia non si può capire l'Italia. La Sicilia è la chiave di tutto". So discover this colorful island, with its great cuisine, delicious wines and friendly, hospitable people! Holiday without stress, enjoy and relax! Furthermore, nature, culture and tradition ... and the latest tips from us islanders.

If you have any questions or would like more information, we would love to hear from you.

Arrivederci! Henriette and Davide

Very cordial and friendly and very helpful. Great cook and perfect house.
Very good base for the (North-)west of Sicily and acquaintance with the real Sicilian (not a polished tourist specimen). So great.
