Casale degli Ulivi

Casale degli Ulivi offers two houses for summer guests. The houses are light, spacious and deliciously cool in summer, with breath taking views from every window.  One house, with two bedrooms, has private access to the pretty sunlit terrace between the two while the second house, with three bedrooms, has direct access to a secluded solarium. Both houses are simply furnished, the bathrooms have a shower, toilet, bidet and basin.
 

Guests can rent on a self-catering basis or choose to take advantage of Marzio’s exquisite Sicilian cooking.
 

Leading off the country road to the farm into the woods behind, is an unlimited network of beaten dust tracks winding all the way to Sambuca, ideal for walking, riding or mountain bike enthusiasts. There are also miles and miles of good tarmac roads for cycling on the flat or tackling challenging climbs. 
At certain times of the year photographers and artists might capture a glimpse of porcupines, birds of prey or huge butterflies that have been blown over from Africa by the scirocco wind. 
At Casale degli Ulivi itself, guests who would like to know more about olives and olive oil are welcome to follow the running of the farm.
There is an abundance of pear, fig, pomegranate and quince trees on the land, though everyone’s favourite is an enormous, climbing frame of a century old black ‘gelsi’ tree (mulberry) with its sugar-sweet juicy fruit ripe during the summer months.
 

Marzio and Susan live just next door and are always on hand to help guests discover and enjoy the real rural Sicily.  
 

Sites to visit while staying in Casale degli Ulivi include Selinunte and The Valley of Temples in Agrigento while the Arab-Norman art in Palermo is only a 1½ hour drive away (94 Km).
The nearest supermarkets, restaurants, pizzerie and ice-cream parlours are a 10 minute drive away in Caltabellotta (8 km), the scenic village which sits on the peak of the mountain facing the farm.
We are a half-an-hour drive (17 km) from Sciacca, famous for its spa pools, seaside promenades and as yet unspoilt beaches.
 

As there is no public transport, a car is necessary.  It is a simple, single road drive from Palermo’s airport.
 

Please be warned: there are two elderly resident horses whose job it is to keep the grass at a certain height and a silly dog who chases lizards. All three might expect a stroke or a pat if you happen to walk past!
