3-star historic hamlet at the foot of Mount Etna
Amenities & Grounds
Antico Borgo Petralia sits on the edge of Mount Etna Regional Park, set within an ancient hamlet opened to the public in 2011. The property features a pretty courtyard, a garden, and an outdoor swimming pool with a view of the volcano and the sea. Guests can relax on sun loungers scattered around the pool and order snacks and drinks via WhatsApp to the bar.

Each of the 18 rooms is different, with some having sloped wood-beamed ceilings and tiled floors. Every room includes a flat-screen TV with free Sky channels, free Wi-Fi access, and air conditioning. Certain rooms offer a balcony with views of Mount Etna or the Mediterranean Sea.
Dining
A buffet breakfast is served each morning, featuring homemade cakes and jams prepared by Giuseppina. Optional home-cooked dinners are available, with dishes such as lasagna and authentic Sicilian cuisine by chef Francesco Alberti. Guests can enjoy breakfast and dinner outdoors on the patio with views of Etna and the sea.
