A hidden gem.
I oscillate between keeping this secrete for myself or sharing with everybody how great this chalet is.
The vila is located at allmost 1000m altitude on the south side of Etna, in a private forest park. When in Catania there were 34 degrees, at the vila we had 25. Amazing!
The host greated us with refreshments and some snacks for breakfast, and the entire check-in process was smooth and nice.
The interior decoration, the home fragrance they use, small touches, all make this vila a wonderful experience.
There is a nice area with restaurants in Nicolosi, about 10 minutes drive. But you are half way to Etna, so go up :))))
Going to Catania is a 35 minutes drive in a labyrinth of steep narrow roads. But it is fun.
