Location and what's nearby

Zash Country Boutique Hotel & Spa, SP2/I-II, 60, 95018 Riposto CT, Italy

With its idyllic location in the charming town of Riposto, you’ll have both Mount Etna and the mesmerising blue of the Ionian Sea at your fingertips at this stunning hotel. Spend your days lapping up the serene nature of the hotel’s surroundings, unwinding at local beaches, emarking on scenic walks, and admiring the volcanic vistas right on your door.

Of course, with such close proximity to Etna herself, it would be an injustice not to venture up her iconic slopes. In the winter months, grab a pair of skis and explore Europe’s largest active volcano in speedy style. When the snow begins to melt, wack on your favourite pair of hiking boots and take to the many trails and picturesque walking routes that this famed volcano has to offer.

If hiking isn’t your style, popular tourist towns such as Taormina and Catania will be within easy reach, while Sicily’s first ever 18-hole golf course - Picciolo Etna Golf Club - will be under an hour’s drive away.
