Between Catania and Taormina, the coast road turns inland through mandarin and avocado groves before you reach the three timber lodges of Mantàri, in the countryside above Acireale. Solar panels and a phyto-purification system run quietly behind the walls; each lodge stands alone, with its own pool and solarium, and takes no guests under eighteen. This is a place for a couple who want the days unscheduled — mornings by the water, the rest decided at breakfast.
Each lodge is built of wood, eco-sustainable by design, with a double bed inside and a double sofa bed in the living room for whoever else comes along. The kitchen runs on an induction hob, there is a Nespresso machine for the first coffee, and the linen and pool towels are changed once a week — everything else is yours to leave as it is. Outside, the portico holds a table and two armchairs, and beyond it the private pool and solarium are yours alone, no shared edge with the other two. There are only three lodges in total, which is why the pool never has anyone else's shadow crossing it.
Mantàri Eco Lodges sets a minimum age of 18 in its own house rules, written at mantari.it, and read there on 20 August 2026. A house whose rule drops below eighteen, or stops naming an age, is taken off HUSH — how every house is checked.
Every apartment has its own swimming pool and its own solarium, with sun loungers, an outdoor shower and a portico with a table and chairs. There is no communal deck to get to first, and no timetable for the water — the pool outside your door is yours for the week. One of the nine has been laid out specifically so that a guest using a wheelchair can move through it and use it independently.
This is a self-catering house rather than a hotel: no restaurant, no bar, no one at a desk all night. Water, electricity and private parking come with the lodge, a welcome breakfast is laid on when you arrive, and the rooms are tidied from the third day onward, Sundays excepted. Check-in runs from late afternoon to half past seven, a later arrival is charged as an extra, and a deposit is taken at the door — worth knowing if your flight into Catania lands in the evening.
The setting is working countryside on the eastern flank of Etna, citrus and avocado rather than a manicured resort garden, and the coast road is a short drive downhill. That position is the argument for the place: the black rock coves of the Riviera dei Ciclopi are a quarter of an hour south, Catania and Taormina each about half an hour in opposite directions, and the volcano's southern slopes a morning's outing.
