Property details

This old stone house, renovated in harmony with the surrounding area, stands at the centre of a 2-hectare wood cultivated primarily with hazelnut trees. Thanks to the generosity of nature, the passionate care of the owners and the favourable climate, there is also a wide variety of trees and plants: fruit trees, including cherry, apricot, walnut, chestnut, mulberry, apple, pear, arbutus, peach, plum, olive, prickly pear; ornamental trees including laurel, cypress, fir; numerous medicinal herbs, aromatic plants, spices and flowers of every type, especially roses, hydrangea and dahlia. The house was once used as an animal and tool shelter, and it was partially inhabited in summer by the local peasants. Today, it has been transformed into an intimate, comfortable and welcoming retreat. Going beyond the small entrance there is the living room with fireplace and a beautiful bay window that looks onto the garden; on the window sill is a large cushion on which to lie and enjoy the view of the wood. The living room gives access to the large, typical Sicilian-style kitchen; it is the true gem of the house, a perfect space where it is pleasant to spend some time cooking with joy and harmony. Next to the kitchen is the dining area with an old worktable placed in front of a large bay window with a magnificent view of the valley and of the peaks of the Madonie Mountains. Here, the gaze looks towards infinity, and the unforgettable sunsets will remain forever in your heart. Next to the dining room is a separate bedroom with a double bed and an en-suite bathroom with shower. From the living room, a landing gives access to a single area laid out on three levels that communicate via a stone staircase. On the ground floor, under the arch of the stairs, there is a room with a single bed and a dresser. Climbing five stone steps you access the first mezzanine with a double bed and a wardrobe; from here, a French window leads to the garden at the back of the house. Continuing up the stairs, you reach the second mezzanine floor, a throughway that leads to the terrace. On this mezzanine floor, it is possible to place a single bed. From the living room, across the landing, you reach the master bathroom with shower and bathtub. The house is furnished with a simple and elegant taste and equipped with every comfort for maximum relaxation.
