Villa Dorata

Perched in the mountains above Ragalna, minutes from the Etna Cable Car and Monti Silvestri lifts. Close to the Monte Nero Zappini Nature Trail, Silvestri Craters and Mount Etna—an ideal family-friendly, pet-friendly base for volcano hikes and nature days.

A boutique villa-guesthouse set in a renovated princely residence with period-style décor and some original furnishings, offering sweeping views of the Etna area. The small property has 8–9 guestrooms with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms (some with bidets), safes, desks and phones with free international calls.

Soak up terrace and garden views, rent bicycles for mountain rides, or unwind in the cozy bar and picnic/barbecue areas. Concierge and shuttle services are available (surcharge options), plus on-site laundry, luggage storage and free self-parking—wake up to fresh mountain air and easy access to outdoor trails.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected; the property also offers express check-in/out, multilingual staff and luggage storage for a smooth arrival and departure.

Enjoy meals at the on-site restaurant, grab a coffee at the café, or order room service during limited hours. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily from 8 AM to 10 AM, and the location makes it easy to explore nearby Sicilian food-and-wine routes.
