Historical residence on Etna consecrated as a hotelcult of hospitality of the Pennisi family, Shalai was founded in May 2009, halfway between the mountain and the sea. In Sicilian, Shalai means to enjoy, to have fun. The mansion was built in the early 1800s, and it used to be a stately residence in which the noble family also administered local public affairs. The owners built it so that the living quarters could be directly linked with the working areas. The vision and skills of the architects Lucia Papa and Paola Mariotto brought this boutique hotel to life, with a touch of contemporary design. Despite the apparent grandeur of the mansion, set in the heart of the town of Linguaglossa, on the slopes of Mount Etna, Shalai is a quiet and welcoming place, with a distinctively intimate feel. It's the ideal place to lose yourself in the scents, quietness and charm of its spaces.
