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=2025-12-21&endDate=2025-12-22&selected=84446661&PinnedHotelID=84446661&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101940000/101933300/101933222/eba0fc22.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Chalet Sull'etna IN Affitto Belpasso - Washer - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-21&endDate=2025-12-22&selected=101933222&PinnedHotelID=101933222&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102450000/102449600/102449584/w1179h885x0y1-08048266.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Etna Sotto IL Ciliegio Un Angolo di Paradiso Alle Pendici Delletna Ragalna - Breakfast included - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi £110 includes taxes & fees 8 Dec - 9 Dec [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-08&endDate=2025-12-09&selected=102449584&PinnedHotelID=102449584&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32590000/32584700/32584663/097476bf.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Casa Museo A 'Rina, on the slopes of Mt Etna with panoramic views and free WiFi Nicolosi - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Air conditioning 9.0 Wonderful 14 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-21&endDate=2025-12-22&selected=32584663&PinnedHotelID=32584663&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94860000/94856100/94856017/d29b98d4.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 £289 includes taxes & fees 9 Dec - 10 Dec [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-09&endDate=2025-12-10&selected=94856017&PinnedHotelID=94856017&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 Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### 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.
