Discover the magic of Etna by staying in our cosy chalet. Matilde's chalet offers a unique experience between nature and adventure, for those who want to get away from the city chaos and enjoy the peace and beauty of the mountains. Perfect for families, couples and groups of friends.
Located in the heart of Etna Park. We are located at an altitude of 1,500 metres, on the southern slope, framed by a forest of chestnut trees, centuries-old oaks and the most recent lava flows, that of 1983 and that of 2001. The nearest town is Nicolosi, 8 km away.

The chalet was built in 1976, then in 1983 a majestic lava front passed just a few steps away from the house, leaving it miraculously intact. Even today one can see and admire the river of lava that makes the surroundings resemble a lunar landscape.

Recently renovated with high-quality materials, it combines the rustic charm of wood and lava stone with modern comforts. The interior is tastefully furnished, creating a warm and cosy ambience.

The entrance to the first floor is independent of the ground floor. At the entrance, guests can enjoy a large terrace with a view of the lava flow and the forest. The first floor consists of a living room with a dining table, a comfortable sofa bed for two and a flat screen TV and wi-fi.
