Zash Country Boutique Hotel

In the eastern Sicilian countryside just outside Riposto, this boutique farm stay sits among citrus groves with views toward Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea — a short drive to Torre Archirafi Beach, Porto dell'Etna and Riposto’s shoreline.

A former winery turned country hideaway on roughly 13 hectares of Mediterranean garden, Zash brings the outside in with wide windows and large glass doors that frame citrus trees as natural wallpaper; rooms are air-conditioned and include minibars, flat-screen TVs, safes, desks and private bathrooms with designer toiletries and bidets, and cribs/infant beds are available.

Wellness-forward and relaxed: a full-service spa with massages, body treatments and facials, plus sauna, steam bath and solarium; a seasonal outdoor pool with poolside bar and two loungy bars, walking and cycling trails through the groves, supervised childcare options and free self parking — wake up to citrus-scented mornings and the sound of the countryside.

Conference and banquet halls are available for meetings and events, with a 24-hour front desk, multilingual staff, concierge services, complimentary Wi‑Fi and on-site dry cleaning/laundry.

Dine at Palmento (Stella Michelin) on-site or grab a drink at one of the bars; a complimentary continental breakfast is served daily from 7:30–10:00 and limited room service is offered, with an emphasis on Sicilian and Mediterranean flavors.
