Catania–Fontanarossa Airport CTA
Catania airport is one of the busiest in Italy. There are connections to many cities on the mainland (Rome, Milan, Bergamo, Bologna, Pisa, Naples and more!) and direct flights to many European destinations (London Gatwick, Paris, Barcelona, Bruxelles, Munich, Zurich.).
There are a number of private chauffeur services that can be hired for transport to and from the Catania Airport. We suggest doing it in advance, as July is a high season in Sicily and the number of taxis at the airport might be limited. You can book it independently or contact our planners if you need any assistance at guestmanagement@kseniaridolfi.com. If you're planning to visit Sicily and some of the nearby sites, you may consider renting a car. It's the best way to get around Sicily.
Our last journey to Sicily led us to the best hotel in this area - Monaci delle Terre Nere 5*, an 18th-century villa nestled within a 25-hectare property. It is a hotel and a wine resort, immersed in an old estate at the foot of Mount Etna. This unique place blends historic charm and natural beauty, and is located in Zafferana Etnea, a charming town on the mountain’s eastern slopes, which offers stunning views at an altitude of approximately 574 meters (1,883 feet).

We fell in love with this estate: from impeccable service tailored to our every desire to the villas with breathtaking sea views and expansive grounds, it was the perfect place for us. And we wanted to share its charm with our dearest friends and family, so we decided to offer the hotel for exclusive booking for two nights for our guests only.
The price range for one night at Monaci delle Terre Nere is from €670 to €1785. Guests can choose from a range of rooms and suites, each uniquely designed. The added convenience is that this is also our wedding venue, which eliminates the need for additional transfers. Embrace the opportunity to make your stay here as unforgettable as our own, but please bear in mind that the number of rooms is limited and will be granted to those who inquire first.

For your convenience, opt for a stay within the venue’s zone. Getting a taxi in Zafferana Etnea is nearly impossible, so if you are far away from the venue, you would also need a private transfer.
Note that extra services, like transfers and ironing for the guests, could only be provided in our selected hotels. If you choose a different hotel, we cannot guarantee the service.
Avoid Airbnb, as accommodations are usually situated in hidden village corners, making transportation difficult.
