CHARMING APARTMENTS IN A HISTORIC MANSION

An island in the ancient urban context: silent and secluded, however not remote.

Borgopetra is a system of houses, formed by charming apartments and houses, orts, wine presses and warehouses. The mansion was constructed in the early 1700s in the heart of the town of Mascalucia, on the southern slopes of Etna. Protected by the Superintendence of Fine Arts, the tourist structure has a dual vocation: it is a place to stay, enchanted by the microcosm of the village, and a starting point for exploring the surrounding areas, thanks to its strategic location at the foot of Etna and close to Catania, Taormina and its Isola Bella, and the Ionian coast with its wonders, such as the “Baia dei Ciclopi” and “Aci Castello”, the village of “Acitrezza”, and the baroque town of “Acireale”.

"Many houses, one home"

Antique, fascinating and furnished with family’s furnitures and trouvailles from all over the world, the houses of Borgopetra all have different sizes, from the large apartments to the suites: their set-up is pointed in the comfort, the breadth of the spaces, the quality of sleep and the rest, with a large attention for the details and for the welfare of the guests.

THE HOUSES AND APARTMENTS

“The heart open for you, guest”

As soon as you pass through the rustic lava stone portal, the Latin motto illustrates the ancient inspiration of the grand house, as relevant today as it was three centuries ago.

THE TERRITORY

Unique location

To the north, the volcano; to the south, Catania: at an altitude of 450 meters on the southern slopes of Mount Etna, Mascalucia is 20 minutes from Fontanarossa Airport and the city, and half an hour from Rifugio Sapienza, the highest point reachable by car on the southern side of Etna. It serves as an excellent base for trips to Etna, being only a few kilometers from Nicolosi (the gateway to Etna), as well as to the main tourist destinations in Eastern Sicily and the city of Catania.
