The interaction of water with small alcohols can be used as a model for understanding hydrophobic solvation of larger and more complex amphiphilic molecules. Despite its apparent simplicity, water/ethanol mixtures show important anomalies in several of their properties, like specific heat or partial molar volume, whose precise origin are still a matter of debate. Here we report high-resolution thermal conductivity, compressibility, and IR-spectroscopy data for water/ethanol solutions showing three distinct regions of solvation, re
