Antico Baglio Siciliano #1
The house draws its particular charm from the uniqueness of its architectural surroundings. It is located inside an ancient baglio, a typical Sicilian rural courtyard enclosed with a large door, at the centre of which lies a mulberry tree. On two levels and covering 100 square meters, the house opens onto a large living room with two couches, a comfortable dining table and a beautiful kitchen that although open on one side, has an autonomous space, comfortable and organized. There are two bedrooms, both spacious and bright and both overlooking a magnificent olive grove. The largest has a double bed (160 x 200), the second two single beds that you can put side by side if you want. In both there is space for a cot.
A stone staircase leads from the living room to the large loft, where you find another living area usable as a third bedroom for 2/3 people. Here there is a sofa bed (140x 200) and space for an extra bed. This area leads to a lovely terrace (15 sq m) on the roof of the baglio where you can have breakfast with the morning sun, sunbathe in privacy or enjoy the cool of the evening.
The house has two large and elegant bathrooms, both with a shower, one on the ground floor and one in the loft area. The entrance of the house overlooks the courtyard of the baglio and in the space reserved in front of it you can relax on a sun lounger or dine by candlelight.
The house is the result of a recent restoration using recycled materials such as ancient stones and railings, and the choice of handmade terracotta for the floors and chestnut beams for the ceilings, give the house a particular charm. The house has a heating system that makes it comfortable even for a winter stay. Ideal accommodation for a family of 4/6 persons, for two/three couples, or for two families
We couldn't have been happier! Our time at this rental was a perfect respite from our winter weather. The property was as described with a very functional kitchen with gas oven, range, well stocked dishes, pots and pans. We cooked most of our evening meals and were able to get all the groceries we needed in nearby Balestrate. Elena (the owner) was very open to helping us set up our vacation and even arranged for our auto rental who picked us up at the Palermo airport and led us to the rental property! We were met at the property just as we pulled in and given a tour of the apartment. The apartment fully met our expectations with two bedrooms and two baths with nice linens, quilts, extra blankets. Good wifi access...we were able to stream movies in the evening. Great location...we made day trips to Erice, Marsala salt flats, Greek temple ruins, Palermo. We took an excursion to Mt. Etna and stayed the night on the east side of the island...Elena recommended we not try to make THAT a day trip.
Tolles altes Anwesen, wie ein vierseithof. Nur eine Seite ist richtig saniert. Schon die Einfahrt ist holperig. Der schöne Innenhof ist ziemlich vergammelt. Ein paar traurige PlastikstĂŒhle unter einem schönen Baum. Könnte sehr idyllisch sein. Die Wohnung (wir hĂ€tten Nr.4) ebenfalls eigentlich schön. Boden mit Terracottafliesen. Leider nicht richtig sauber. Besonders im kĂŒchenbereich. In der KĂŒche wĂ€re ein GeschirrspĂŒler toll, zumal das spĂŒlbecken Wasser verliert. Das Bad unten mĂŒsste ĂŒberholt werden. Das schöne Fenster ĂŒber dem Eingang ist wohl noch nie gesĂ€ubert worden. Das Bett auf der Galerie ist ein klappsofa. Sehr unbequem und zu zweit sehr eng. Eigentlich mĂŒsste alles mal gestrichen werden. kabelenden kommen ĂŒberall aus den WĂ€nden, die Lampen fehlen noch. FĂŒr die MĂŒlltrennung fehlen BehĂ€lter in der Wohnung. Das Rauschen der Autobahn ist deutlich zu hören. Wenig schrankplatz. ein paar offene ikearegale. Einrichtung insgesamt spartanisch. Wir haben uns trotzdem nicht unwohl gefĂŒhlt.
Uns hat der Aufenthalt sehr gefallen. Die Wohnung ist groĂzĂŒgig geschnitten und trotzdem gemĂŒtlich - wir haben nichts vermisst. Der Hof hat einen ganz besonderen Charme und und Charakter - umgeben von Obstplantagen, mit schönem Innenhof - sehr idyllisch. Das Haus ist gĂŒnstig gelegen fĂŒr zahlreiche Ausflugsziele - wir haben die Woche sehr abwechslungsreich genutzt: Palermo, Monreale, Erice, Selinunte, der Zingaro-Naturpark sind durch die gute Verkehrsanbindung sehr schnell zu erreichen. Wir waren im Februar hier und haben sehr geschĂ€tzt dass das Haus so gut heizbar ist! Herzlichen Dank und alles Gute an unsere freundliche Vermieterin, die wir nicht getroffen haben aber die uns aus der Ferne hervorragend betreut hat!
We had a fantastic time in Sicily staying here. We were made to feel very welcome by Elena and her family which added to the enjoyment of our holiday. There is a communal courtyard where we, and other guests, could eat and socialise, which we did in the evening as it was too hot at lunchtime!!. Elena was very attentive and tried to ensure that we got the best from our stay. This is one of the best holidays we've had.
We had a great time this summer at la Roca. The house was fantastic for our big family and Elena is a very good host. She gave us some valuable tips about the Island that made our holiday very special.
The property is stunning and we can't wait to be back.
