DONNA CATERINA HOUSE,THE HOUSE FOR YOUR RELAXING HOLIDAYS IN THE HEART OF SICILY
Donna Caterina House – Your Mediterranean retreat in the heart of Sicily An exclusive retreat in the green heart of the island
Immersed among centuries-old olive trees, walnut groves, citrus trees and palm trees, Donna Caterina House is a welcoming country house that combines the elegance of relaxation with the authenticity of Sicilian rural life. This home welcomes guests in an oasis of peace and greenery, among palm trees, aromatic plants, olive trees and Mediterranean colors.
Located just 2 km from the historic center of Pietraperzia and 3 km from the main road connections. The location is unbeatable for those who want to discover Sicily from every angle: 15 minutes from the highway and state roads, it allows you to easily reach all the main destinations of the island – from crystal-clear beaches to baroque cities, from medieval villages to the most authentic food and wine destinations.
Comfort and authenticity Inside you will find a refined mix of modern furnishings and antiques typical of rural homes in the hinterland, with all the comforts needed to feel at home. Free Wi-Fi, an equipped kitchen, and furnished verandas with a barbecue area will give you moments of true pleasure.
In 10,000 square meters of private park relaxation and breathtaking views You will be enchanted by the sinuous and bristly lines of its centuries-old olive trees, by the intense green of its walnut groves, by the picturesque shapes of the citrus trees. You can relax on the many sunny days, listening to the birds singing, looking at the beautiful flowers in the shade of the horse chestnuts or taking a walk in the garden that offers a delightful octagonal fountain and a multitude of palm trees and succulents. The verandas with wooden roofs, the large gazebo and the terrace overlooking the house, from which you can admire the medieval village of Pietraperzia and the ruins of its Castle, make Donna Caterina House a magical place from which to enjoy the landscapes of the Sicilian countryside and from which to experience the slow passage of time in the island way: reading, sunbathing, playing cards, contemplating the vegetation, sipping a good coffee or bathing in the tantalizing hot tub. For children there is a play corner and an inflatable pool.

ITALIANO Donna Caterina House – Il tuo rifugio mediterraneo nel cuore della Sicilia Un rifugio esclusivo nel cuore verde dell’isola
Immersa tra ulivi secolari, noceti, agrumi e palme, Donna Caterina House è un’accogliente villetta di campagna che unisce l’eleganza del relax alla genuinità della vita rurale siciliana. Questa dimora accoglie gli ospiti in un’oasi di pace e verde, tra palme, piante aromatiche, ulivi e colori mediterranei.

La posizione è imbattibile per chi vuole scoprire la Sicilia da ogni angolazione: a 15 minuti dall'autostrada e dalle strade statali, permette di raggiungere facilmente tutte le destinazioni principali dell’isola – dalle spiagge cristalline alle città barocche, dai borghi medievali alle mete enogastronomiche più autentiche.
Comodità e autenticità All’interno troverai un mix raffinato di arredi moderni e pezzi d’antiquariato tipici delle abitazioni rurali dell’entroterra, con tutti i comfort necessari per sentirti a casa.

In 10.000 mq di parco privato relax e panorami mozzafiato Rimarrai incantato dalle linee sinuose e ispide dei suoi ulivi secolari, dal verde intenso dei suoi noceti, dalle pittoresche forme degli alberi di agrumi. Potrai rilassarti nelle numerose giornate assolate, ascoltando il canto degli uccelli, guardando i bellissimi fiori all’ombra degli ippocastani o facendo una passeggiata nel giardino che offre alla vista una deliziosa fontana ottagonale e una moltitudine di palme e piante grasse. Le verande con i tetti in legno, il grande gazebo e il terrazzo sovrastante la casa, da cui si può ammirare il borgo medievale di Pietraperzia e i ruderi del suo Castello, rendono Donna Caterina House un luogo magico da cui godere dei paesaggi della campagna siciliana e da cui sperimentare il lento procedere del tempo alla maniera isolana: leggendo, prendendo il sole, giocando a carte, contemplando la vegetazione, sorseggiando un buon caffè o facendo il bagno nella stuzzicante vasca idromassaggio. Per i bambini c'è un angolo giochi e una piscinetta gonfiabile.
Accoglienza autentica Ad accoglierti ci sarà Lucia: solare, affidabile, chiacchierona e sempre disponibile. Ti farà sentire come a casa e sarà il tuo punto di riferimento per qualsiasi esigenza – anche in inglese!

Spring break visit
The "issue" with such a welcoming home is that you have to chose between staying in the hamoc, or lying in a comfy chair and visiting the external beauties of Sicilia!
Lucia's home is a perfect stay for people visiting the area: 25min from the Villa, 45min from the Valle dei templi, many beautiful views of the surrounding nature... The house is well equipped and furnished, and so lovely to stay in. Thank you again for the warm welcome and all the details, Lucia!
