Embracing Serenity on Mt. Etna

As Valentine’s weekend approaches, Catania offers a unique blend of romance and adventure, perfect for couples seeking a memorable escape. Nestled on the slopes of the majestic Mt. Etna, the Volcanic Meditation Tour provides an unparalleled opportunity to connect with nature and each other. This morning activity, available from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM on both February 15th and 16th, invites you to indulge in yoga sessions amidst the volcanic woodlands, guided meditative walks, and a taste of local produce.

The tranquil ambiance of the volcanic landscape sets the stage for a rejuvenating experience. As you practice yoga near ancient lava stones, you’ll feel the high energy of the surroundings envelop you, offering a chance to restore and pamper yourself. The tour’s highlights include a visit to Rifugio Sapienza, where you can immerse yourself in the natural beauty and serenity of Mt. Etna.

“A lovely break from the routine - Great relaxing and regenerating day with this special activity. I love yoga and I prefer to practice it in natural contexts, but never done on a volcano. Great experience, because it’s still yoga in the woods as I like it, but also connected and close to old lava stones. Great!” - Reviewed on 2019-09-24

With access to a pool and spa, as well as exquisite meals made from fresh local ingredients, this retreat promises to nourish both body and soul.

“A real paradise - We love nature and spend hours walking, hiking and getting relaxed by silence and trees. So we decided to have a lovely weekend of meditation, which is actually an easy way to get rid of stress and regenerate your mind (and soul). Lovely activities between the woods and the old lava stones, unique setting. Lodging was on a lovely chalet on Mt. Etna.” - Reviewed on 2019-09-24
