Time Out…

…we are off to a gem of a hotel… Zash in eastern Sicily, in the province of Catania…can you smell the citrus trees?  Rugged and luxe…a treasure…

Zash is described by the hotel as, “a country boutique hotel where historical fragments meet a contemporary taste, in an ‘elegantly quiet’ project, to let nature’s physicality emerge, to respect our past vestige and to satisfy our traveller’s needs. A place which is refined in its rooms, rural in its context and vital for the soul.”
