About this property

The chalet has recently been completely renovated; it is inserted inside the Etna Park in a chestnut, oak and pine forest. A 3 km from the town of Nicolosi and 15 km from the Etna cable car, offers peace and tranquility.
The rooms are pleasant with a simple and functional furniture; the two bathrooms make the holiday also comfortable for 5 guests; the heating system with pellet-powered radiators in winter will make the stay warm and pleasant; the wood-burning fireplace in the living room will add a pleasant atmosphere to the holiday. In summer the refreshing freshness of the 1,000 meters of altitude is appreciated.
Not far from the chalet you will find a restaurant with local produce and a equiturismo to ride a horse through the woods.

Well worth it!

The chalet is quite small but adequate for 4 people with 2 double bedrooms and 2 sofa beds in the living area and 2 bathrooms, one ensuite. All amenities were in good working order with a washing machine and Netflix an added bonus. The grounds are lovely and safe for children and were the highlight of the property. Our 18 your old son with severe autism was extremely happy wandering in this slice of forest while the high gate leading to the road can be locked for safety. We highly recommend a stay here for those who like to take it easy while still being close to attractions like Mount Etna, Taormina, the Gole d' Alcantara and other less renowned sites like the House of Butterflies and also just up the hill from the town of Nicolosi where all necessities can be found.

Abbiamo fatto il ceck-in alle 16, come da indicazione dell'host, la quale avrebbe dovuto farci trovare pronta la struttura. Invece, al nostro arrivo, abbiamo trovato il pavimento di tutta la casa appena lavato e bagnato e ovviamente la casa umidissima e freddissima. Con il pavimento bagnato, il freddo del mese di febbraio (a una altitudine di 1000) era insopportabile anche per me che non soffro per nulla il freddo. La host ha pensato bene di lavare il pavimento poche ore (rectius: minuti) prima del nostro arrivo nonostante conoscesse da più di un mese il giorno in cui saremmo arrivate. Morale: siamo morte di freddo per tutta la notte perchè, non aveva neanche acceso i caloriferi sino al nostro arrivo ! Non si è presa neanche la briga di accendere il riscaldamento (c'ha detto che il pellet che deve comprare è molto caro). Non abbiamo trovato nulla per la prima colazione (neanche tovaglioli di carta !) solo delle cialde di caffè e qualche bustina di tè. In tutte le strutture in cui sono stata io ho sempre trovato fette biscottate, marmellate, prodotti da forno, succhi di frutta, latte, etc. Inoltre, le tazze per la prima colazione erano "incrostate" di sporcizia (sicuramente residui di biscotti e quant'altro, rimasti appicciccati all'interno delle tazze stesse). Nei bagni c'erano solo flaconi di bagno-schiuma e shampoo completamente vuoti che noi abbiamo buttato nella spazzatura. I divani di colore bianco erano neri dalla sporcizia. Esperienza pessima da dimenticare

Séjour reposant

Le chalet est situé dans une forêt, au pied de l'Etna. Idéal pour les adeptes des randonnées. A 5 min de Nicolosi, où se trouve toutes les commodités. Le chalet est bien équipé, la literie est bonne. La propriétaire et sa famille nous ont accueillis chaleureusement et nous ont aidé à résoudre notre problème de voiture. Grazzie mille

Why they chose this property

It's my home area where I love to spend my free time immersed in the woods of Etna, I like to share with those who can appreciate the serenity and peace of nature in a unique landscape of the volcano Etna

What makes this property unique

The chalet is located inside the Etna Park in a forest of chestnut trees, oaks and pines. A 3 km from the town of Nicolosi and 15 km from the Etna cable car, offers peace and tranquility.
The rooms are comfortable with a simple but functional furniture, the fireplace in winter makes the warm and pleasant stay, in summer is fresh regenerating the 1,000 meters.
