About this property

Villa with swimming pool in the picturesque Madonie mountains of Sicily

In the middle of an olive grove lies our villa, Casa Mario, far from tourism in the Madonie Mountains of Sicily. The villa is furnished in a country house style and offers all the comforts you would not want to miss at home. The upper area is equipped with a modern kitchen (gas stove, dishwasher, electric oven, Italian coffee maker, Bosch fridge), two bedrooms, living room, dining room and a guest toilet. An external staircase leads to the lower area, which again has a bedroom with 4 beds, a small kitchen and a shower room. There are two terraces: the upper one is equipped with two parasols and a wooden table with 4 chairs and two sun loungers. The lower terrace is covered, has a lava stone table with 8 chairs, a brick grill, a couch with a table and a small cupboard for plates, cutlery and glasses. In the middle of the spacious garden (1 hectare), surrounded by fruit trees, palm trees and olive trees, is the swimming pool (10 x 5 meters) about 100 meters from the lower terrace. There are four loungers, a Dedon basket as well as a couch group with shade-giving parasols and an awning. The pool is filled with saline water and is automatically supplied with the respective chemicals.

Unique rural experience
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the villa. It was a great location, close to the lovely community of Caltavuturo. The host provided very useful recommendations about the property, dining, shopping and other activities. The shops in town were great, including the butcher, the bakery and the pasticceria, not to mention the chef and team at AlterEgo restaurant. The villa was well appointed, it offered a number of areas within and outside the property to relax and enjoy the views and experience. We would highly recommend this location for people who want a quiet getaway, yet close enough for day trips to the coast, etc. Thank you.

Wonderful location
This house was a rural location with a stunning view of the mountains. The house was large and was equipped with everything you would need including a fantastic swimming, unfortunately it was too cold for us to enjoy. Small town nearby had excellent restaurants and a great morning coffee shop. We can't say enough about the hosts who gave us great directions to nearby restaurants and places of interest. They recommended and made a reservation for us and a small Michelin restaurant in a tiny town in the mountains. It was the highlight of the trip.

Phantastisches Haus
Das Haus liegt ein klein wenig außerhalb von Caltavuturo in absoluter Ruhe mit weiten Blicken in das Naturschutzgebiet Madonie. Die Ausstattung ist sehr hochwertig und sogar noch besser, als beschrieben! In dem großen Pool kann man sich wunderbar erfrischen und richtige Bahnen ziehen! Dort, wie überall draußen, sind sehr schöne Liegen und Lounge-Möbel inkl. Schirmen. Morgens und abends waren wir immer auf der Terrasse oben, mittags auf der unteren, überdachten Terrasse im Schatten. Wir kochen sehr gerne und haben in der Küche nichts vermisst - auch hier alles top, top, top! Die Vermieter reagieren bei Fragen sehr schnell und geben auf Wunsch gerne Tipps. Caltavuturo ist ein nettes Städtchen, wo man alles zum Leben einkaufen kann. Wir hatten in der Casa Mario ein wunderbare Zeit und haben nur bereut, dass wir nach 3 Wochen wieder abreisen mussten. Herzlichen Dank, Frau Reinert!

About the host

Hosted by Susanne Reinert

Host profile image
For many years, my husband and I have been uge fans of Italy and together with our daughters we lived in Florence for a few years. When we first came to Sicily, it was love at first sight and in the same year we bought the Casa Mario and extensively renovated it in the following years. We try to spend as much time as possible in Sicily and so far all our friends and also our family members are enthusiastic about our house.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this house, because it is far away from tourism but still in a picturesque landscape. The small town Caltavuturo has the best ice cream parlor in the world and all the inhabitants are friendly and nice. You are in half an hour by the sea or in 45 minutes by car in the beautiful port city of Cefalu. To go to Palermo you need about 1 hour by car, to Catania about 1.5 hours. If you are looking for peace and quiet from the stressful everyday life, you will find it in our house.

What makes this property unique

Sometimes after a stressful working day, I try to think about sitting on my terrace in Caltavuturo and immediately I feel relaxed. Here you can relax and enjoy the beauty of the landscape.The light and colors are fantastic here and the summer evenings are pleasant and not as hot as by the sea. There are almost no mosquitoes and so you can spend the evenings and nights in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood.
