Agriturismo Zahra is located in Acireale, a town on the eastern coast of Sicily renowned for its elegant Baroque architecture, rich history, and proximity to both the sea and Mount Etna. The landscape surrounding the property is among the most enchanting on the island, where the vibrant green of lemon groves meets the blue of the Ionian Sea and the dark hues of volcanic rocks, creating unforgettable contrasts of colors and scents.

Acireale is famous for its historic center, which is filled with Baroque churches, palaces, and squares, all easily accessible from the agriturismo. The nearby coastal villages, such as Santa Maria La Scala and Santa Tecla, are charming fishing communities with distinctive lava stone cliffs. The Ionian coast boasts numerous coves and beaches perfect for relaxation or water activities, offering stunning views of the Gulf of Catania and the silhouette of Mount Etna.

Just a few kilometers away lies the famous Riviera dei Ciclopi, known for its legendary sea stacks linked to the myth of Odysseus and Polyphemus. Places like Aci Castello and Aci Trezza are ideal for seaside strolls, sunset aperitifs, and boat excursions.

The agriturismo's location also allows for easy access to Etna Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where visitors can explore trails, lava caves, extinct craters, and mountain shelters. Nature lovers, trekkers, and photography enthusiasts will find this area to be an extraordinary backdrop.

From Acireale, organizing trips to the artistic cities of eastern Sicily is straightforward. Catania is just a short drive away, captivating visitors with its lively blend of history, markets, and nightlife. Heading north, one can reach Castelmola and Taormina, home to the famous Greek Theatre and breathtaking sea views. To the south lies the Val di Noto, featuring Baroque towns like Noto, Modica, Scicli, and Ragusa.

The region is also a hub for food and wine tourism. Numerous farms, wineries, and olive oil mills offer tasting tours to discover the authentic flavors of Sicily, including lemons, honey, pistachios, almonds, Etna wines, and extra virgin olive oil.

In this authentic corner of Sicily, culture, nature, and tradition coexist in perfect harmony, providing travelers with constantly diverse and enriching experiences.
