About the property

Inside

accommodation at Casa Romito is on two floors. On the ground floor, the entrance hall leads on one side to the lovely country kitchen, with terracotta floors, a fireplace, a breakfast table and access to a dining terrace. To the other side of the entrance hall is a large living area, whose white-painted beamed ceilings, comfy sofas, great fireplace and light-giving French windows make for an extremely relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. An arch leads from the living area to the dining room, though you will probably take most of your meals al fresco on the surrounding terraces. A shower room completes the accommodation on the ground floor.

A flight of stairs leads from the entrance hall to the first floor, where there is a large central hallway-cum-sitting area and five bedrooms: two doubles, two double-twins, and a small single room, which is available on request for a younger child. There are also three shower rooms, two of which are en-suite. Decoration throughout is very stylish, with a mixture of pastel colours, contemporary restorations and antique furniture.

Outside

Casa Romito is set on several hectares of rolling hillside with extensive views of the coast and the surrounding hills. Grassy banks are studded with fruit trees and centuries-old oaks and chestnuts while in the middle, just below an original well-head, is a high-quality pool with wooden decking.

The terraces in front of the kitchen, where the dining table and the barbeque are placed, command superb sea views which are at their most dramatic at sunset. This is a place for lovers of space, relaxation and the peace and quiet of the countryside.

About the Area

Nestled on the flanks of the Madonie Mountains Casa Romito is a perfect way to mix mountains and sea. It’s an ideal base for exploring, on foot or by car, the mountainous nature reserve and the many towns and villages that it contains.

Just twenty-five minutes drive down the hill is Cefalu, with its spectacularly sited Norman cathedral, medieval town centre and beach.

The motorway gives you easy access to Palermo, Monreale and the Roman remains at

Solunto. Slightly further afield, the Ancient Greek remains at Segesta, Selinunte and the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento are well worth the journey.

Considerations

Parts of the route to this property are unpaved and a little rough. We therefore recommend guests hire a car with high ground clearance.

The discreet and helpful owners may stay within the grounds and will not disturb in any way, unless of course you need local advice.

This property is surrounded by countryside, some of which is unfenced and may include drops or steep slopes. We therefore recommend that younger children are supervised by an adult when exploring the grounds.

There is very limited or no mobile phone reception at this property.

Casa Romito was perfect. Heaven. Idyllic. I might even go back next year. The owner was super friendly and lovely.

5 out of 5 for Casa Romito. The chef service was amazing, and amazing value.

Verified guest, visited August 2022

Casa Romito was as peaceful as we had asked and the owners are absolutely delicious. The house, the landscape: all is perfect in Casa Romito.

We absolutely loved Casa Romito. It was such a magical place, and just what we needed after a very stressful situation at home. The owner was a gentle, lovely person.

Mrs Florence Petit, Portugal, visited August 2021

Casa Romito has a certain charm and it embraces you after a few days. The bedroom layout at the first floor is pleasant and the bathrooms are nice. The pool was great as well, really nice surroundings. We viewed the blood moon during the eclipse at night, which was great as the area has little light pollution. We had a really tranquil experience.
