La Fucina di Vulcano - Hotel in Sicily
C.da Piano Palo-Difesa Strada Statale 284, 95034 Bronte, Catania
Sicily,
Italia
Mount Etna looms beside you, sometimes snow-capped or spouting smoke and fire – at others completely silent. A one-car village train runs through twice a day so you can hop on and explore more closely, enjoying panoramic views from its peaks – walkers and nature lovers will be in their element. Bedrooms (with small terraces) are individually styled, with a different scene etched onto the glass dividing each room from a sleek en suite bathroom, rich in marble and travertine.
Breakfast and dinner are served in the restaurant with its big picture windows. Chef Sandro Rinaldo Chiù creates refined dishes using only local produce and traditional Sicilian recipes. You are in the heart of the pistachio growing region, so much use is made of the prized nut – try spaghetti with pistachio pesto.
Yoga retreats, cooking classes, joining the pistachio harvest – all can be arranged. Return to watch dreamy sunsets from your own terrace. Calming.
