Centred around an 18th-century aristocratic villa, with private guest houses dotted across 25 hectares of countryside, the hotel offers a true sense of privacy and immersion in the natural surroundings. Many of the accommodations are housed in original 18th-century farm buildings, featuring private villas and suites, restored with local lava stone, terracotta floors and wooden-beamed ceilings, then finished with clean-lined furniture and soft, contemporary touches. Panoramic terraces overlook the vineyards or the sea, while freestanding tubs, fireplaces and wood-burning stoves add a cosy, indulgent edge. Sustainability is woven into the fabric of the estate, with solar power, energy-efficient systems and natural materials used throughout.
The on-site restaurant, Locanda Nerello, serves seasonal dishes inspired by traditional Sicilian cuisine, much of it sourced directly from the estate’s gardens and nearby farms. Guests can expect fresh pasta, sun-ripened vegetables and locally raised meats, all prepared with care and creativity. The hotel’s own natural wines, crafted from Etna’s unique volcanic soil, are a highlight, and can be enjoyed at the wine bar or as part of a guided tasting.
Guests will find plenty of ways to unwind and connect with the estate. A heated outdoor pool offers stunning views of Mount Etna, while yoga sessions, holistic massages and wellness rituals draw on the surrounding nature for inspiration. You can take a guided walk through the farm and gardens, learn to cook local dishes with the chefs, or borrow an electric bike to explore nearby villages and trails. Whether you're sipping wine under a carob tree or reading in a hammock surrounded by olive groves, every moment here is designed to reflect the slow, generous rhythm of Sicilian life.
