Monthly Rentals in Petralia Sottana

A heads-up: as clearly mentioned in the description, this house is about stairs: you need to be comfortable with them. And now the crescendo: the location is a 5-star one, it does not get any more down-town than this, everything is within a short walk. The apartment is a 5-star plus. Comfortable, perfectly climatized, well lit, spic-and-span clean and possibly the best furnished we ever rented (it has everything one can think of and then some). The hosts are a 6-star couple not just because they are proactive, attentive and responsive but because, as the thoughtfulness they put in furnishing the house shows, they actually care. The bottle of wine and the home-made cake one is greeted with are just the icing on the ‘cake’. The final 10 stars: the impeccable business ethics. We had a small mishap due to directions they gave us, and they took care of it without even us having to mention it. You will be in very good hands with them.

This house truly exceeded all of our expectations and hopes. Calogero is a very friendly and welcoming host. My family of 12 people got there in a need for freedom and private atmosphere and that's exactly what we got. The house is a several hundred year old stone house, it is quiet, calm and incredibly cozy. The farm has an absolutely incredible pergola, lots of fruit trees and art installations THROUGHOUT. One can walk around that house (and farm) for days and find new art installations every time. Really the whole family enjoyed it incredibly well, where the only minus is that the teenagers lacked a city pulse and the little ones lacked a pool. But if you have a car and a little patience, you can easily get up and down the mountain for excursions. We really loved everything about this house, Calogero, his wife, dogs, cats, horses and are now dreaming of their own Sicilian farm in a mountain village.

We had a good time in la gisamea, the special location, the unique garden and the lovingly furnished house gave us great pleasure. On some fresh days in spring, the heating and fireplace worked really well. Anne was always available for our questions and Massimo was quickly on site when necessary. Just behind the house, you can hike into the adjacent nature reserve, the path to the local mountain, the second-highest peak in the area (approx. 1700 m) is worthwhile. In May, nature was lush and colourful, a huge garden full of plants and animals. The area is one of the wettest in Sicily. The surrounding villages are picturesque, partly quite bustling, excursions there are really recommended. All purchases are to be made within 4-8 km, even the tyre service in the neighbouring village helped us easily and inexpensively without special Italian language skills. For nature lovers, la gisamea is a recommendation.
