Here, at four hundred meters above the sea level, you will enjoy fresh evenings, even in full hot summers, after having spent the day in the beautiful sea of San Leone, to the beach of Giallonardo or on the white cliffs of Scala Dei Turchi!
You'll be just a few kilometres from tourist areas but away from the chaos and the confusion of the crowd.
Ground floor: 1 large and comfortable lounge area with fireplace and two sofas, 1 utility room/studio with double sofa bed, 1 bathroom with shower and bidet, 1 large kitchen equipped with everything you need.
First floor: 1 double bedroom with balcony and ensuite bathroom with shower and bidet, 2 large double bedrooms with balcony, 1 comfortable double bedroom ideal for children, 1 large bathroom with bathtub and bidet.
The exterior is furnished with tables, chairs and sun beds. Here you can dine al fresco, refresh or relax in the shade of the large pine trees.
You will be helped by Miss Concetta! She will welcome you and she will be happy to prepare you some of the best dishes of the Sicilian cooking tradition.

LOCATION

There are places where even the stones, the sea and the sky are telling stories about the beauty. Sicily is one of them. The province of Agrigento, the ancient heart of the island, with its majestic temples, its white cliffs on the Mediterranean sea, its Arab architecture, its countryside made of almond trees and grapevines, is representing an island in the island, a place rich in history, traditions and literature.

Racalmuto is the birthplace of the writer Leonardo Sciascia, who, in his books, renamed it “Regalpetra “, and which he choose as a writing refuge, giving therefore to the little town an important cultural imprint.

The town, founded by the Arabs near Agrigento is a perfect place to spend a holiday, a few steps from the most beautiful seas of Sicily and the majestic temples. It offers pleasant walks through the alleys and the tranquillity of its squares. Its small and precious municipal theatre, the ancient medieval palaces, the shadow of its ancient walls and its typical products, make this small town a place where you can find culture, authenticity, good food and great hospitality.

For those who love cultural experiences, there is a must to do: a visit to the breathtaking Valley of the Temples, while for those who want to experience wine tours, in this part of the province there are many wineries with some of the best Sicilian wines.

Séjour du 31 Août au 14 Septembre 2019
Séjour agréable. Village bien situé, a 30 mn de la mer. Les photos sont conformes à l annonce. L accueil est excellent. Le verger autour de la maison est en accès libre (raisins, amandes....a disposition). Les propriétaires sont très accueillants et très gentils. Isabelle

großzügiges Haus
sehr schön auf einem großen mit Olivenbäumen bepflanztem Grundstück am Rande von Racalmuto gelegenes Haus. Für 3 KFZ sind Abstellmöglichkeiten vorgesehen. Zum Verweilen außerhalb des Hauses laden eine große Terrasse bzw. Balkone auf dem 1. Stock ein. Insbesondere in den heißen Sommermonaten dürfte es dank seiner Lage auf der Spitze eines Hügels dort etwas kühler als im Ort selbst sein. Der Ort hat seinen ursprünglichen Charakter sehr gut bewahrt und lädt zu einem Rundgang ein. Dank der jetzt vierspurig ausgebauten Straße ist Agrigent in ca. 30 Minuten Fahrtzeit zu erreichen. Das sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtete Haus bietet annähernd gleichwertige(!) Schlafgelegenheiten für bis zu 10 Personen (= 5 Zimmer mit Doppelbetten - z. T. mit eigenem Bad!). Allerdings gibt es in der an sich ausreichend großen Küche nur 6 Stühle am Esstisch - leider waren keine weiteren passende Stühle im Haus zu finden. Dass das Haus keine Heizung hat, war im April 2017 etwas misslich, da auch mit den von dem u. g. Verwalter zur Verfügung gestellten beiden elektrischen Öfen das Haus nicht warm wurde. Ansprechpartner sind die örtlichen Verwalter, ein Ehepaar aus der Nachbarschaft. Der Ehemann spricht sehr wenig deutsch; mit der Ehefrau kann nur auf italienisch kommuniziert werden! Wie sehr die Verwalter um das Wohl der Gäste bemüht sind, zeigte sich u. a. daran, dass sie uns am Ankunftstag Plätze im örtlichen Restaurant reservierten und mit uns auch dort hinfuhren, damit wir auch den Weg finden würden. (In den Folgetagen zogen wir es jedoch vor, uns selbst zu versorgen, was dank der Geschäfte vor Ort und dank der Kücheneinrichtung uneingeschränkt möglich war.) Nicht unerwähnt bleiben soll auch der treue Hund Neve, der nicht ins Haus kommt, sich dafür aber über jede Zuwendung freut...

Great Property!
We were so very pleased with this Villa in Racalmuto, it is exactly how it looks in the photographs. The wrap around porch is perfect to enjoy your breakfast or to just sit and relax and enjoy the breathtaking views. Conchetta and Alfonso couldn't be more accommodating. It was very clean and convenient to everything in town. Highly recommend!

Host profile image
We are two very curious persons with the desire of discovering the world and its inhabitants, finding out the simplicity of small gestures and beauty beyond appearance. That is why, with our small business, we would like to give the opportunity to foreigners to discover our beautiful city, its secrets, our world, hidden corners, and the stories that are still whispering in the alleys, the ruins, the monuments and the markets ...

Why they chose this property

I decided to rent this house because I want to transmit the love, the passion, the courtesy, the simplicity and the warmth of the Sicilian land!
