About this property

La Gisamìa. Pure Nature.

In the heart of the wood, with their original stones structure, these old cottages are only 8 minutes car away from the centre of Petralia Sottana, the medieval village, head office of the 'Parco delle Madonie', which with its cathedral, its stonehouses and its paving ways, offers a still authentic example of old sicilians architecture. Ideal starting-point for hikes in the mountains and for visiting the other wonderful villages of the Park (Petralia Soprana, Polizzi Generosa, Geraci Siculo, Gangi, Castelbuono, Isnello), the cottages are in a private property of some hectares, peaceful and isolated.

Cozy and homely, the cottages are named after the surrounding trees (the caption below every picture reports the name of the cottage). They can be rented single or together, from two up to eight guests. Independent and not visible, the houses are a few hundred meters away one from the other.

The House of the Almond Tree suits for maximum four guests. It consists of a living, fully equipped kitchen, double bedroom, bedroom with bunk bed, a fully equipped bathroom with shower and bidet, outside terrace with stone pavement, private land. It's fully equipped (tv hd ddt, kettle, hairdryer, internet wi-fi, etc.) and the only one with washing-machine and dishwashing-machine, fireplace and gas heating system.

The House of the Pear tree suits for maximum four guests. The groundfloor consists of an open living room with kitchen, table, chairs and sofa and also two single beds in a corner aside. There is also a fully equipped bath with shower, bathtub, two sinks and a bidet. On a spacious mezzanine is a double bed. The house provides all conveniences (wood stove, tv sat hd, cd player, kettle, hairdryer, wifi, etc.).

From Petralia, one hour and half driving, is possible to reach Cefalù and the sea of the northern coast of Sicily, a part from Palermo, Agrigento, Catania and Etna. La Gisamìa is the ideal place for whom loves nature and mountain, for whom searches for peace and silence.

Ein unvergesslicher Aufenthalt in La Gisamìa
Wir verweilten 9 wunderbare Tage an diesem besonderen Ort im Mandelbaumhäuschen und wir haben uns vom ersten Tag dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Fotos übermitteln einen guten Eindruck der Unterkünfte und Umgebung, die Realität ist jedoch noch viel beindruckender. Die Einrichtung ist authentisch, mit schönen persönlichen Accessoire. Viel Freude hatten wir auch an dem verschmusten Hunde-Trio und der Katzen-Gang, welche auch auf diesem großen Areal, sehr friedlich miteinander leben dürfen. Vielen lieben Dank, dass wir für eine Weilchen ein Teil davon sein konnten. Peter und Caroline

Wildromantisches Haus
Wir haben eine tolle Zeit in diesem magischen Ort verbracht. Man konnte sich gar nicht entscheiden, ob man lieber im gemütlichen Haus liest, die Sonne im weitläufigen Garten genießt oder doch einen Ausflug in die charmante Umgebung macht. Das Haus ist toll ausgestattet und auch der Check-in lief komplett reibungslos. Ich war am Ende so schusselig, ein paar Sachen im Haus zu vergessen, worauf Anne und Ferdinando sehr flexibel und unheimlich nett reagiert haben. Rundum sehr zu empfehlen :)

La Gisamia
If you are looking for a relaxing and peaceful holiday surrounded by nature, La Gisamia is the perfect place to stay. Each of Ferdinando and Anne's cottages have their own private space away from the other buildings, so there is no danger of being disturbed. Although Ferdinando was away when we visited, he was still the perfect host: helpful, reliable, relaxed, personable and excellent at communicating. We understood his English perfectly. He was more than happy to answer any questions we had via WhatsApp / email and sent us clear directions on how to get to the property. He advised us where we could buy food locally or eat out if we wished. Ferdinando also recommended hikes and places of interest based on his understanding of our own interests and hobbies (in our case history and walking). Ferdinando's property manager, Massimo, was friendly, helpful and welcoming when we arrived and made sure that we had everything we needed, including internet (if required) for a small fee. The House of the Pear Tree contained both a heater and a wood stove. There was plenty of wood available, so we were comfortable and warm during the cold nights. The kitchen was adequately equipped and there was plenty of space for clothing in the bedroom drawers, as well as a clothes rail and shoe rack. We very much enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return for another holiday at a future date.
