The Pennisi family has converted a 19th-century palace into a boutique hotel with exceptional renovations. The Shalai resort is located in the vibrant centre of the mountain town of Linguaglossa. The hotel's style is intended to reflect the warm hospitality that is characteristic of Sicily. Chef Giovanni Santoro is responsible for the gastronomic offerings, which are a mix of history, tradition, innovation, poetry, humanity and refinement. The unique environment is shaped by two distinct viewpoints: Mount Etna on one side and the sea on the other. Shalai means "feeling joy" in the Sicilian dialect, which is precisely the feeling you'll experience during your stay!
