Charming Antique Country House
This charming house was beautiful and relaxing. It has a beautiful pool to relax in after seeing the sights of Sicilia. The perfect garden for morning coffee or evening wine. It’s listed as a 3 bedroom, but one of the bedrooms is only accessible by a ladder. I think 2 bedroom is more accurate. The managers were very accessible and accommodating. They even noticed that two of us were celebrating our birthdays and surprised us with gifts! The biggest suggestion for this unique and charming place is to have better signage at their gate and more explicit directions. Our navigation failed to direct us accurately. Once you know where it is, it’s easy to find. We thoroughly enjoyed our 11 day stay.

Quirky and lovely
We were looking to stay in the Sicilian country to be away from the major tourist towns and this house fit the bill. Eclectic in its decor and furniture, this 300+ year old house is a treat. However, if you choose to walk around the area, we did encounter a few rabid dogs and ended up taking the long way around, having to brave the main road, which doesn't have a proper pavement. Only the main bedroom is air-conditioned and the third bedroom is up a narrow ladder. It was an adventure and we even organised a taxi to and from Pietraperzia. Carmelo is a wonderful and gracious host.

Long weekend in Sicily
We had a great time in this villa. A bit of a drive from Palermo, but a 5 minute drive to a nearby town for groceries etc, otherwise we were content sitting by the pool all day as the house was set up well to allow for this.

The authentic Sicilian villa
Peaceful, charming and restoring. The villa has everything you need to chill out in the middle of this fabulous Italian land. Yes, it’s hot as Hades but the pool will abide and the atmosphere tranquil. There are curiosities everywhere you look and then some. Loved it! Caveats: AC in one bedroom only and no shade by the pool (Mcguyvered with sheets, safety pins and pool tool poles). Pino the cat will welcome you as well. Ciao.

Rustic Authenticity with a Great Pool
Our family used this property in central Sicily as a home base to explore this enchanting island. The house is an authentic Sicilian farm house with unique characteristics preserved to maintain the home's original layout and design. While this may not be the approach to a more modern home, it was a great opportunity to experience rural life of centuries ago. This does not mean that the house is without amenities. The modern pool provided many hours of enjoyment for our family, there is air conditioning in the master suite and a dishwasher. We enjoyed a great family dinner which we were able to cook in the fully stocked kitchen and enjoy in the comfortably cool dining room. Carmelo was responsive and went out of his way to resolve any issues that arose. For example, we lost water one night due to a break in the local municipal water line. By 6 AM, he accompanied a water truck to the property to ensure that the houses water reserves were stocked and we could shower, do dishes, etc . . .

Tranquility, style and nature - just wonderful
This old country house has been restored with attention to detail, a beautiful place to relax and recharge batteries. We had a wonderful time and already look forward to coming back next year. Carmelo and his partner are excellent hosts and helped us greatly to manage quarantine rules. Thank you!

Could not recommend enough
Where do I start, this property is an absolute gem. We were a group of 4 that stayed for 8 nights and could not get over how beautiful the villa and property were. The pool area is perfect for soaking up the sun, and the small seated areas around the property give you lots of really cool areas to hang out in. The villa itself has so much space, and Olga & Carmelo were super friendly and easy to deal with. Would 100% come back and stay here again

A relaxing retreat
A great location for exploring the central part of Sicily, Casa Antica was a lovely oasis. The season was unusually cool but Olga and Carmelo were so welcoming. They laid a fire for us every afternoon so it was very cozy. We found the upstairs loft a little challenging, not for anyone who was not totally fit, and the mattress there was a rather saggy but the other rooms were very comfortable. We also enjoyed having the company of Carolina, a local dog who appears to adopt anyone willing to give her a little belly rub. As 3 of us are dog owners it felt a little more of home. Mille grazie.
