"An artful property located at the foot of Mount Etna in Sicily. Alfio and his parents have been working to restore this heritage property for the past five years, and they have turned it into such a special place to stay. All of the furniture pieces are original and the frescoes have been restored by a team of expert women from Bergamo. The garden is magical, the interiors are sumptuous, and the views of Mount Etna are unbeatable." —JENOA MATTHES, Travel Writer & Photographer
"I loved how remote it was. The hotel itself is a cluster of a few barn style buildings that have been converted in to 'hotel rooms,' and the main house is where dinner is made and served, which they make using mostly their own crops that they grow on-site. It’s just magical."
"Ett Hem was designed on a small scale, where a dedicated team cares for every detail, and amenities are thoughtfully considered. Like a true guest house, it offers intimacy, warmth, character, and a deep connection to its surroundings. Food is a pillar of Ett Hem's identity, where meals are prepared with seasonal produce. Breakfasts, in particular, are unforgettable: generous, and crafted with the same care that defines the entire experience. A perfect way to begin the day."
