Mountain Cabins with Magnificent Views in Sicily

This lovely little house in the mountains is a true refuge. Here you can relax, hike, read books, and enjoy the silence. A silence that is only interrupted by the bells of grazing sheep and goats. The kitchen is sparse, but there is everything you need to prepare your own delicious meals with groceries from the local market. From the front door, you walk straight into the large living room, which offers both a large dining table and a comfortable sofa group. There are three bedrooms, all with room for two, and each with its own well-equipped bathroom. Washing up and laundry are done by hand, part of the premise of this retreat. :-) Here you can relax and let the peace and quiet come to you. The view of the sea and the islands can be seen from the garden behind the house and from the three small balconies in front of each room. In the shaded area in front of the house, you can prepare delicious meals on the built-in barbecue and enjoy them on the beautiful stone table, which can easily be set for many people.

The home and garden is a fantastic space. There were so many places to chill, relax, spend time with others and time apart, as desired. The house decor is fun, funky, eclectic. A mix of modern, retro, old, reclaimed and new. The kitchen is well-laid out and supplied. We ended up making our own evening meals and had everything we needed to do so. The bedrooms and bathrooms had everything we needed with extra supplies available when needed. The garden has lots well-tended flowers, plants and trees. There were areas for doing things like sitting, swinging, laundry, hot-tubbing, grilling, eating, parking, looking out over the hills and sea. We watched the sunset every night. We went to Caccamo for our groceries. Getting used to local opening times and what to get where was very different to what we are used to. With a little knowledge of Italian on our part and some English, the locals were able to accommodate our needs. We went to Trabia, Cefalu, Palermo, Parco Avventura Madonie and Santo Stefano di Camastra. Some driving was more challenging than others. The main road in Caccamo, which dates from medieval times I'm sure, accomodates one vehicle wide in places. It isn't for the faint of heart. Palermo driving is slow. The highway to Santo Stefano has many tunnels. Bruno was attentive for any question or need that we had. He communicated with us ahead of time and was at the home to greet us when we arrived. As things work quite differently here than what we are used to, he went through it with us. Drinking water - get bottled, hot water - take short showers, rubbish - separated into different bins for recycling, etc. Two doors and three windows had fly screens on them, which was helpful as mosquitos were about. We also asked Bruno about local festivals and he sent us suggestions. Local businesses we recommend: La Spiga d'Oro was ok with kids. The pasta dishes were tasty. Contrada S. Vito, snc, 90012 Caccamo PA, Italy Briciole Di Pane Di Giallombardo Maria Concetta was very nice and accommodating. One lady spoke a little English. Via del Carmine, 29-31, 90012 Caccamo PA, Italy We enjoyed meat from GS Carni di Giuseppe Siragusa at Via del Carmine, 41. They had very nice sausage and other items that were grill-ready. One gentleman spoke a little English. The roasted chicken was delicious, accompanied by chips and potato croquettes at Snap. The gentleman spoke a little English. Piazza G. Torina, 164, 90012 Caccamo PA, Italy The fruit, veg and eggs were excellent at Alimentari Catanese. The gentleman spoke a little English. Lots of local produce available. Corso Umberto I, 191, 90012 Caccamo PA, Italy Max Supermarket and Bar. They have a frozen seafood and pastry selection you can choose how much and what you want and prepare at home. The man in the deli had lots of delicious meats, cheeses and some bread available. One lady spoke a little English. Via Circonvallazione, 7, 90012 Caccamo PA, Italy Margherita Conad Supermarket had cheap bottled water and a good deli area. Via del Carmine, 23, 90012 Caccamo PA, Italy
