"Guarnera" Farm Holiday
swimming pool
Among a dense citrus grove lies the rural dwelling of the GUARNERA Farm Holiday, from where our guests can enjoy beautiful sea views beyond the green of the countryside. We are 60 km away from Palermo, 15 km from Cefalù and the beach can be reached in just ten minutes drive.
Lemon and orange trees that scent the air with their continuous blossoming surround the house, as well as olive, banana and almond trees. Together with the colours of the geraniums and the jasmines this environment is particularly representative of the Sicilian coastal countryside, creating a frame for the deep blue sea in the distance.
The house is a lively example of 19th century rural architecture and it has been recently refurbished to offer all the amenities of modern comfort, maintaining at the same time its original character.
The windows with their gratings and the small terraces face the valley towards the sea on one side, and the hills with silvery olive trees and golden orange and lemon trees on the other.
Outside and inside the house some areas are available for the persons who want to spend their time reading, relaxing and walking.
Indoors the house is simply and soberly furnished, retaining much of its original furniture. The old fireplaces, the wood oven and the ceramic floors create altogether a very cosy atmosphere.
The dwelling has central heating and is therefore open all year round and, thanks to a very large meeting room, is also suitable for small groups conferences.
The Farm Holiday Guarnera can sleep up to 14 people. All the rooms are very large and can accommodate up to 3-4 persons each. All the rooms have private bathrooms and independent entrances. An independent kitchen is available for an extra 20 euro/night.
The 9 hectares (about 22 acres) agricultural estate is organically farmed and includes also an orchard and a kitchen garden for private use.
The spot is quiet and full of trees. Thanks to two natural water springs it is still possible to find evocative corners like the ancient irrigation pools (called “gebbie” in Sicilian), populated by frogs, dragonflies and water lilies and where numerous birds – some of them rare – come to drink and where, sometimes at sunset, one can spot the wary fox.
Bird watching is strongly recommended and one can enjoy many different walks to observe the particularly rich natural surroundings.
The swimming pool, open from June to October, is rectangular and of a deep green colour, so that it is well integrated with the surrounding countryside.
Paved areas for sunbathing, shaded spots and all the necessary equipment, together with showers, changing rooms and toilets, surround the swimming pool.
SIGHTSEEING AROUND US:
- Cefalù with its Norman Cathedral and the very deep blue see.
- The ruins of Himera, an ancient Punic town with an archaeological zone and a museum.
- Directly behind us is the Parco delle Madonie, ideal for discovering the culture of the small villages and for walks in the beech woods up in the mountain.
- For the mushroom lovers the woods in Castelbuono.
The Guarnera Farm Holiday is open all year round and can sleep up to 14 people. Bed linen and bath towels are provided.
It is possible to have seminars and small groups conferences: for the social activities we offer ample and shaded open air space during the summer, and a very large room with fireplace during the winter.
We also offer either half board (+25 Euros per person) or full board (+50 Euros per person). The kitchen uses organic products and is particularly keen towards healthy and natural food.
As the area is not well served by public transport, a private car is necessary and easily rentable.
