Description
The Residence is situated in Serra la Nave (Ragalna, in the province of Catania). This holiday resort is 1735 metres above sea-level.
The Residence is surrounded by trees and bushes. It’s next astrophisic Observatory of the University in Catania, and next to naturalistic ways of the Etna Park. You can admire the dense woods and the evocative flows of lava wich became white runs in the winter.
The cableway of Etna (Rifugio Sapienza) is only 2,5 km away and it leads to the highest craters and to the runs for skilled skiers.
How to get here
When you arrive in Catania, follow the road signs towards Nicolosi. Etna South. Once you have crossed Nicolosi, you follow the road sign which points towards Etna-south. After 14th km there is another road sign which says to run on the left towards Astrophisic Observatory, follow the indications and after more or less 800 mt you get to Serra La Nave. You can see the Residence on the left, next to the little church.

Welcome to an unforgettable travel experience! We are passionate about exploring the world and eager to share our knowledge with you. Our love for discovering new cultures and admiring architectural heritage led us to make tourism our profession.
Our residence on Mount Etna is one of Italy's hidden gems. Built on a ruin at 1735 meters above sea level by my father, an engineer like myself, this place offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Europe's largest active volcano. Together with my husband Aurelio, we are here to offer you a comfortable stay and an authentic experience in the land of fire.

Nestled in nature, the Serra La Nave residence is surrounded by peaceful surroundings without any nearby shops or markets. The closest town is Nicolosi, which is 14 km away from our residence. Here, visitors can find a variety of shops, banks, and markets. To reach us, a car is necessary. We are located near the EtnAvventura park (800 meters) and just 3 km from "Piazzale Sapienza," the starting point for excursions on Mount Etna.

It's a fabulous place if you need to get to ETNA early! (5 minutes by car from the starting point). We arrived in the evening and the host sent us a very detailed video from the parking lot to the apartment. It is not mentioned, but there are: fridge, oven, stove, everything you need for breakfast (you just need to bring your bread). The bathroom is spacious, with a hairdryer. The large bed is very comfortable and there are also: pillows and a big duvet! In summary: fantastic.
