The Refuge of Aitna aims to offer an authentic experience of Sicilian hospitality, a refuge as it may have been for the nymph of Etna: Aitna is the ideal place for anyone who wants to get away from the frenetic pace and find calm surrounded by sciara, uncultivated land generated by old lava flows and dominated by Etna. The structure consists of a rustic kitchen, a living room that finds its fulcrum in a ventilated fireplace, bathroom, a bedroom with a window overlooking a small grove pertaining to the structure and a mezzanine with two bedrooms, all furnished with colors and objects that evoke the Sicily of the past. To love Sicily you must understand the Sicilians, a mixed people who founded their roots on ancient classical cultures. And it is inspiring me to an ancient Greek sacred rite the "xenia" that I want to pay homage to our guests with baskets of fruit and typical sweets. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the villa: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - In-room accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,292 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/85000000/84450000/84446700/84446661/db03e02a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villa Marletta Sicilia - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=84446661&PinnedHotelID=84446661&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94860000/94856100/94856017/581f1a61.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Holiday Home 'Teleferica' with Mountain View, Wi-Fi and Air Conditioning Bronte - Pool - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 6 reviews £287 includes taxes & fees 1 Nov - 2 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-01&endDate=2025-11-02&selected=94856017&PinnedHotelID=94856017&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116130000/116127400/116127326/373d33f3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Apartment in the center of Catania, in the central Piazza duomo 7 beds Catania City Centre - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=116127326&PinnedHotelID=116127326&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105580000/105573400/105573399/11a63e93.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### House Benedettini's a Catania Centro tra il Monastero dei Benedettini e il Duomo Catania City Centre - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Parking available 8.0 Very good 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=105573399&PinnedHotelID=105573399&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/3000000/2540000/2537700/2537605/666cc40b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bed and Breakfast Opera Catania City Centre - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Breakfast available - Parking available 8.0 Very good 72 reviews £61 includes taxes & fees 14 Nov - 15 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-14&endDate=2025-11-15&selected=2537605&PinnedHotelID=2537605&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108880000/108876400/108876303/51465ccb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lapilli Holidays, Accogliente 1P Villetta Bifam con Meravigliosa Vista Dell'etna San Giovanni La Punta - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Air conditioning £167 includes taxes & fees 12 Nov - 13 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=108876303&PinnedHotelID=108876303&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 21 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events Events allowed ### Smoking Smoking allowed: in designated areas ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.
