Chalet in the Woods Nestled in the oak Forest in Monterosso Etneo  

Tucked in an oak forest just outside Aci Sant'Antonio (about 5 km from the town center), this ground-floor chalet is the quiet Etna escape you didn't know you needed. Quick drives connect you to Acireale, Taormina, Aci Castello, the Gole dell'Alcantara and the beaches at Riposto, Fondachello and Naxos — perfect for family-friendly or pet-friendly getaways.

The chalet sleeps up to six and sits amid shady oaks that keep summer temperatures pleasant. Interiors mix modern comforts with rustic touches: a brand-new bathroom with a large square rain shower, a kitchen with induction hob, oven and coffee machine, a living room with sofa beds, a heat-pump system for heating and cooling and a big fireplace for chilly nights.

Free Wi‑Fi and on-site parking keep travel simple, and pets are welcome. Outdoor life steals the show — a stone oven, a large two-barrel barbecue and a marble table for up to 20 make it easy to dine al fresco; wake up to oak-scented mornings and breathe the Etna air.

Free Wi‑Fi is available on the property (ask at check-in). Parking is provided in a nearby zone for guests arriving by car.

Cook family-style in the fully equipped kitchen or grill on the big barbecue and stone oven — the outdoor setup handles everything from fish to whole roasts. The area is a food lover's playground too, with authentic Etna-region flavors on display at local markets and events like the Ottobrata Zafferanese in nearby Zafferana.
