The area where the B&B “Contrada Zerbate” is located is a corner of Sicily that retains the charm of its traditions and natural beauty. Nestled in the district of Lavinaio, within the territory of Aci Sant’Antonio, this part of the island enjoys a privileged location between the sea of the Riviera dei Ciclopi and the slopes of Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe. The countryside here is dotted with dry stone walls, prickly pears, olive trees, and citrus groves, while the nearby Aci Forest, a protected area, harbors a rich plant heritage composed of oaks, chestnuts, and holm oaks.
The landscape is typical of eastern Etna, featuring fertile hills, ancient lava terraces, and views that stretch from the coast to the crater. This region is ideal for enthusiasts of trekking, nature walks, and gastronomy. Not far away lies Acireale, an elegant and lively town known for its baroque buildings, historic thermal baths, and confectionery traditions, while nearby is the Cyclops Coast, with the stacks of Acitrezza, Lachea Island, and the rock of Acicastello, which, according to legend, were the backdrop for the tales of Polyphemus and Ulysses.
Those who choose to stay in Lavinaio can easily reach Catania, with its historic center rich in art and markets, or venture towards Taormina, Syracuse, and the natural reserves of Timpa and Gazzena. This is a land that offers everything: the power of nature, the warmth of culture, and the authenticity of a Sicily that welcomes with simplicity and beauty.
