DONNA CATERINA HOUSE,THE HOUSE FOR YOUR RELAXING HOLIDAYS IN THE HEART OF SICILY
Donna Caterina House – Your Mediterranean retreat in the heart of Sicily An exclusive retreat in the green heart of the island
Immersed among centuries-old olive trees, walnut groves, citrus trees and palm trees, Donna Caterina House is a welcoming country house that combines the elegance of relaxation with the authenticity of Sicilian rural life. This home welcomes guests in an oasis of peace and greenery, among palm trees, aromatic plants, olive trees and Mediterranean colors.
Located just 2 km from the historic center of Pietraperzia and 3 km from the main road connections. The location is unbeatable for those who want to discover Sicily from every angle: 15 minutes from the highway and state roads, it allows you to easily reach all the main destinations of the island – from crystal-clear beaches to baroque cities, from medieval villages to the most authentic food and wine destinations.
Comfort and authenticity Inside you will find a refined mix of modern furnishings and antiques typical of rural homes in the hinterland, with all the comforts needed to feel at home. Free Wi-Fi, an equipped kitchen, and furnished verandas with a barbecue area will give you moments of true pleasure.
In 10,000 square meters of private park relaxation and breathtaking views You will be enchanted by the sinuous and bristly lines of its centuries-old olive trees, by the intense green of its walnut groves, by the picturesque shapes of the citrus trees. You can relax on the many sunny days, listening to the birds singing, looking at the beautiful flowers in the shade of the horse chestnuts or taking a walk in the garden that offers a delightful octagonal fountain and a multitude of palm trees and succulents. The verandas with wooden roofs, the large gazebo and the terrace overlooking the house, from which you can admire the medieval village of Pietraperzia and the ruins of its Castle, make Donna Caterina House a magical place from which to enjoy the landscapes of the Sicilian countryside and from which to experience the slow passage of time in the island way: reading, sunbathing, playing cards, contemplating the vegetation, sipping a good coffee or bathing in the tantalizing hot tub. For children there is a play corner and an inflatable pool.

In 10.000 mq di parco privato relax e panorami mozzafiato Rimarrai incantato dalle linee sinuose e ispide dei suoi ulivi secolari, dal verde intenso dei suoi noceti, dalle pittoresche forme degli alberi di agrumi. Potrai rilassarti nelle numerose giornate assolate, ascoltando il canto degli uccelli, guardando i bellissimi fiori all’ombra degli ippocastani o facendo una passeggiata nel giardino che offre alla vista una deliziosa fontana ottagonale e una moltitudine di palme e piante grasse. Le verande con i tetti in legno, il grande gazebo e il terrazzo sovrastante la casa, da cui si può ammirare il borgo medievale di Pietraperzia e i ruderi del suo Castello, rendono Donna Caterina House un luogo magico da cui godere dei paesaggi della campagna siciliana e da cui sperimentare il lento procedere del tempo alla maniera isolana: leggendo, prendendo il sole, giocando a carte, contemplando la vegetazione, sorseggiando un buon caffè o facendo il bagno nella stuzzicante vasca idromassaggio. Per i bambini c'è un angolo giochi e una piscinetta gonfiabile.

Thank you so much for the beautiful review! It was a real pleasure to host you. I really appreciated your kindness, your order and your sympathy. You were perfect guests! I hope to welcome you again at Donna Caterina House!
Lucia 🌺
The "issue" with such a welcoming home is that you have to chose between staying in the hamoc, or lying in a comfy chair and visiting the external beauties of Sicilia!
Lucia's home is a perfect stay for people visiting the area: 25min from the Villa, 45min from the Valle dei templi, many beautiful views of the surrounding nature... The house is well equipped and furnished, and so lovely to stay in. Thank you again for the warm welcome and all the details, Lucia!

About the host
Hosted by LUCIA
Hi I am Lucia, I take care of my property and love to meet my guests with whom a beautiful friendship is often born. I will be happy to provide all the information and advice to enjoy the house and the surrounding area. With my staff we try to make the spaces of the house, the verandas, the garden and the park with walnut trees pleasant and comfortable.
Why they chose this property
This property has the advantage of being on one level, with three low steps. It is surrounded by beautiful flower beds, a small lawn, a citrus grove, and a walnut orchard. It is about 3 km from the village so you can reach it in five minutes when you feel like drinking a good espresso or having an aperitif at the bar. The narrow road is only traveled by the few homeowners in the area so you will not be disturbed by traffic noise. The entire property is surrounded by fencing, and the large parking lot and gate will be used only by guests. Privacy is absolute.
What makes this property unique
Guests during their stay will have the entire property at their disposal both internally and externally (10,000 square meters ). They will enjoy the silence and scents of the countryside. The location in the center of the island is really strategic because you have the opportunity to reach the highway in 15 minutes in the directions of Catania and Palermo. The distance to the beaches is about 40 minutes. In 5 minutes you can reach the towns of Pietraperzia and Barrafranca. In 20 to 30 minutes the towns of Piazza Armerina, Enna and Caltanissetta. Verandas with wooden roofs, the large gazebo, the surrounding paved space equipped with swing, children's bikes, rocking chair, the driveway, the automatic gate, the large parking lot enrich the house and make it usable in any season. The outdoor space offers various nooks and crannies for sunbathing, reading, playing cards, lying in the sun or simply relaxing while enjoying the silence. The terrace above the house allows you to admire the town of Pietraperzia and its medieval castle, the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Cava and the neighboring villages. At night a wonderful starry sky!
