- Ideale Lage im GrĂŒnen zwischen KĂŒste und HĂŒgeln des "Parco dei Nebrodi".
- Die HĂ€user und Aussenanlagen sind sehr gepflegt und haben eine ansprechende, ortstypische Erscheinung.
- Die Wohnungen sind sehr durchdacht und gut eingerichtet: einzige wĂŒnschenswerte Verbesserung wĂ€re eine grundliche Umgestaltung der Innenbeleuchtung (helleres Licht in allen RĂ€umen, geziehltes Anstrahlen der Decken etc.)
- Last but not least: ein grosses Dankeschön an Ciro, die seele der gesamten Anlage, fĂŒr seinen fleissigen, fĂŒrsorglichen Umgang mit den GĂ€sten.
Great place to stay if you are looking for the peace and quiet of the countryside. Accommodation was clean and comfortable, spacious and well maintained, the swimming pool area, wonderful!! Ciro, Giancarlo & Federico are great host who put on a BBQ and helped us for any informations. Great week.
We had a mixed group of 11 adult and this wonderful place with its quientness and views has been perfect for us. We rented 3 houses (Casa Ulivi, Casa Gelso and Casa Ciliegio), the houses has everything you need. Perfectly suited for larger groups but also families with small kids. Federico and Ciro are very nice and helpful, if wanted.
We had a lovely Sicilian spring surrounded by the lemon and olive trees.
The accommodation and furnishings are basic but adequate. Some extra blankets for the couple of rainy nights would have been nice but otherwise we had everything we needed.
Most of all the peace and tranquility was wonderful. Pasta, local fish and a bottle of wine watching the sun setting over the pool.
Our family of two adults and 3 children (aged 6, 11 & 12) enjoyed two very relaxing weeks in the Sicilian sun.
The apartment is set in a very well restored and simply decorated old farmhouse building. There were two other apartments on the site each with their own outdoor seating area. Sicily is hot during the summer so luckily the facilities include air-conditioning. Each window has shutters which were closed at different times of the day to shade the sun. Satellite TV kept us in touch with events in the world. There is a basic kitchen but it served us well enough.
Large sun canopies are provided to give shelter for outside dining on the extensive raised decking area. The view of the lights of the hill towns on the range above the farm made for lovely evening views. The outdoor areas were very well lit for enjoying the cooler summer evenings.
The pool area can be checked from the apartment. The children had a great time in the pool and exploring the farm. Each day they collected fresh lemons to make their own lemonade. The farm also supplied vegetables for meals. A local farm manager was on hand to help us with anything we needed.
The area is quiet and peaceful and a short drive from the nearest town which has a good supermarket and of course a range of ice-cream and pizza shops. The resort town of Capo d'Orlando is very close and has a good beachfront with lots of amenities.
Trips to attractions like Cefalu, Brolo, Tindari, Messina and Toarmina are very straight-forward on the excellent toll motorways. The mountain roads to Randazzo and Etna were a pleasure for the adults, if not the children.
Communication with the owners for booking was very prompt, efficient and pleasant. The rates were excellent value. The photos on this website certainly don't do justice to the attractions of the apartment and it's farm.
We would happily return with the family to this undiscovered gem in Sicily.
