Description
The location of the holiday resort is ideal for a romantic weekend away as well as for long stays with the family; most of all it is for those looking for a relaxing vacation in a welcoming and simple atmosphere, but with careful thought given to the details.
The lodging, which sleeps a total of 37, is a fascinating 19th century millstone where wine was made. The rooms are spacious, warm, and bright. They offer views of the Sicilian coast and join the charm and warmth of typical local furnishings, in hand-wrought iron and solid chestnut wood, to the more modern conveniences (color TV, telephone, hairdryer, minibar).
For those who wish, we offer a comfortable apartment complete with kitchen and outdoor private space. It is composed by a big living room with kitchen and a double bed, a double bedroom and a bathroom with tub.
You will find the authenticity of typical homemade Sicilian cooking in the restaurant from the original lava stone floor and embracing the antique winepress.
In this atmosphere, we will welcome you like family.
