Etnalodge is a converted winery building on the slopes of Mount Etna.

Etnalodge is a converted winery building on the slopes of Mount Etna. It sits overlooking terraced farmland, on which we still grow fruit and olives to turn into jams, marmalades and oil. We have also been busy replanting the vines which had, over the years, disappeared, and from which we hope to make our own wine in years to come.

The natural environment around us influences Etnalodge in all sorts of ways, whether it's the local volcanic stone used to frame our windows and doors, or the views of the surrounding countryside from each of the rooms. It is very much a place to make the most of simple pleasures, away from the chaos of everyday life. For the warmer months, there is a large dining table outside the cottage, shaded by grapevines, and looking down towards Piedimonte and on out to sea. In the evenings, meanwhile, you can relax with an aperitivo (pre-dinner drink) on our sun terrace, and enjoy the views either up towards Etna or down to the sea. Finally, the Giardino d'Inverno (Winter Garden) is the perfect place to relax and do some sea-gazing in cooler weather.

Etnalodge sleeps up to 7 people. There is also a travel cot available for babies/toddlers if required (please let us know when booking so that we can set it up for you). All our rooms contain antique Sicilian furniture, have ensuite bathrooms and feature either countryside or sea views.

The cottage has a fully-equipped eat-in kitchen, as well as an outdoor dining area and a sun-terrace, perfect for pre-dinner drinks with a view. In cooler weather, you are welcome to relax in the Giardino d'Inverno, which has comfortable wicker furniture and views down over Piedimonte and on out to sea.

There are clothes airers and a washing machine available for guest use.
