The area

By Mario La Rocca (Journalist, philosopher)

Closest beach: Sampieri, 4 km
Closest market: Scicli, 5 km
Closest restaurant: Scicli-Sampieri, 5 km
Closest town: Scicli-Sampieri, 5 km
Closest airport: Comiso, 20 km - Catania, 100 km
Closest hospital/medical center: Scicli, 5 km

I live in Scicli,  the most beautiful town in the word, a bit because it is said by the great novelist Elio Vittorini and a bit because it’s my homeland that I love for its naturalistic and artistic beauties and, most of all, for its landscapes, its light, its blue sea, its golden beaches!

Here you can find the so proverbial ospitality of the Sicilians: we live peacefully and in harmony.

Scicli, together with Modica (5 km’s away) and Ragusa (10 km’s) it’s a Unesco’s word site for Baroque style.

All the town its a masterpiece of what we could call the real Sicily, in fact Scicli is the spot for the well-known movie fiction Inspector Montalbano.

The via Mornino Penna is the hearth of the city and here is a beautiful Museo del costume.

Don’t forget to visit at least one of the three hills that overlook Scicli. You can go up to them walking through narrow alleys that recall the visitors a very ancient Sicily.

Inside the town have a visit to the Chiafura, a sort of ancient Scicli, with dwellings carved in the rock where once lived our great-grandparents

Our golden beaches are among the most famous in Sicily: Sampieri (5 km’s), Cava d’Aliga (5 km’s), Donnalucata (5 km’s) and Marina di Ragusa (8 km’s).

If you love nature this are my suggestions: Irminio river (5 km’s), the lakes of Cava Grande canyon (50 km’s) and the astonishing Vendicari a paradise for birdwatchers.

Two other Unesco’s, unmissable, masterpieces not so far: Syracuse (70 km’s), the capital of the Mediterranean in V b.C;  and the famous Noto (50 km’s)

Another great site is Cava d’Ispica (photo, 20 km’s) where nature and archaelogy live together.

 

Our kitchen is very rich of recipes and still now our old women do it as it once was.

This is the menù I suggest  you (with the kind permission of Mamma’s chef Silvana, of course): sea fruits, squid, sepia, mullet, pasta with swordfish, teste di turco (a typical Scicli’s sweet).

In Donnalucata (5 km’s) you will find a renowned outdoor fish market

In accoglienza siciliana ed una location molto curata in tutti i particolari...Salvatore e Sandra ci hanno accolto e ci hanno fatto gustare dei cibi locali... pesce ,frutti di mare e crostacei! La casa confortevole e silenziosa ,completa di piscina e sauna ,il giardino ricco di piante locali! Che dire ..,non vedo l'ora di tornare a Casa Sandra! Grazie

We have just returned from our holiday at Casa di Sandra, and what a wonderful week we had! Set in the countryside, this rustic villa was beautifully presented and the kitchen very well equipped. Several areas to sit outside, as well as 2 first floor terraces (one to watch the sunrise and one to watch the sunset!). We spent time touring the local area - very pretty towns to visit and a nice local beach at Sampieri, but we also spent time lazing around the swimming pool which was gorgeous, with good lighting around and underwater so we could swim in the evening as well as during the day. The owners Sandra and Salvatore were charming and very helpful. One point to note is that the villa is reached down a quite long and very narrow track which has a dry stone wall each side. We managed to get our Mondeo estate down there without too much trouble, but wouldn't have liked to try it with anything much bigger! Overall though, we had a fantastic time in this beautiful villa and would thoroughly recommend it. Thank you

Nella campagna siciliana, un recupero superbamente fatto da Salvatore, di un vecchio casale sciclese. Vi troverete immersi in una atmosfera ovattata e unica, lontani da rumori e distrazioni, fra una miriade di piante, di oggetti caratteristici, di odori, di colori. Il tutto realizzato con garbo e gusto. La casa poi offre tutto quello di cui si puó aver bisogno; ambienti spaziosi, utensili di ogni tipo, spazi interni ed esterni adatti sia alla convivialità che alla privacy. La piscina di acqua salata, decisamente la ciliegina sulla torta. Una menzione speciale per Sandra e Salvatore; due persone uniche che abbiamo avuto la fortuna, il piacere e l’onore di conoscere. Grazie per la vostra ospitalità, per tutte pe cose buone che ci avete fatto assaggiare, per il vostro entusiasmo, per i vostri consigli e per la meravigliosa casa che ci avete lasciato sentire nostra per una settimana. La consigliamo vivamente a tutti.

Siamo stati davvero benissimo, la casa è attrezzata perfettamente, location bellissima, tranquillità e panorama impagabili. Sandra e Salvatore poi sono stupendi, sempre a disposizione per ogni richiesta, dall’accompagnarci ad acquistare pesce al mercato alla segnalazione del posto giusto per ogni necessità, il tutto con molto garbo e grandissimo rispetto della privacy. All’arrivo abbiamo trovato verdura fresca, frutta, latte di mandorle, vino fresco, schiacciate, pomodorini secchi, pasta, cialde di caffe ... Anche la piscina ha il suo perché, bellissimi bagni a qualunque ora del giorno e della sera, con luci colorate rilassantissime, acqua a temperatura ideale, materassini, sdraio e asciugamani a disposizione. I miei figli adolescenti ne sono stati entusiasti : piscina, ampie camere e connessione internet hanno fatto la loro parte. Giudizio di sintesi : superiore alle aspettative, da ritornarci e consigliare.
