We had the most wonderful stay in Pizzo Castellaro - a stunning house. Every detail has been so thoughtfully considered, with quality touches throughout - we truly didn’t want for anything. The property had everything we could possibly need and more. It felt private and peaceful, yet we knew help was close at hand if required. The housekeeper, was both kind and discreet — her welcome lasagne was absolutely delicious. All in all, Pizzo Castellaro is an exceptional place that exceeded all expectations.

About the property

Inside

passing through the front door one enters a spacious and stylish open-plan living, dining and kitchen area with floor-length picture windows that bring the amazing views inside and provide access to the panoramic terraces and gardens. The well-equipped, practical kitchen is designed for serving both the indoor and the shady al fresco dining areas, while the sofas are arranged to take full advantage of the view.

A double bedroom with en-suite shower room is on the same floor, separated from the living areas by a sliding wall. Stairs lead from the living area to the lower floor, which is home to a double-twin bedroom with private panoramic terrace and en-suite shower room.

Outside

the house is set in a large rocky garden on the crest of a hill and has no other houses near it. A large shaded panoramic terrace looking out to sea is accessed from the living area and kitchen and furnished for lounging and dining. Both bedrooms have a private sea-view terrace and there are many other spots around the grounds from which you can admire one of the furthest-reaching panoramas of any of our villas.

The icing on the cake is the perfectly situated circular pool, which is just a short walk from the house down a path that weaves through the Mediterranean gardens. Equipped with a shady pergola, the pool area is where you may well spend most of your time.

About the Area

Pizzo Castellaro overlooks the sea on the northern flank of one of the most unspoilt parts of the Sicilian countryside, the Nebrodi Mountains. In this area you will find charming, untouched villages with wonderful views and authentic shops and trattorie not to mention some fabulous walking country. The nearest town to the house is Acquedolci which offers a selection of authentic shops and restaurants and the nearest beach. Further afield, Cefalu' is a short drive along the motorway one way, and Capo d'Orlando the other, both of which have long sandy beaches.

Considerations

The villa sits on its own hill about 200m above sea level. The A20 motorway runs below and may be audible from the pool area.

Due to the nature of the property , which includes terraces, low walls and several drops around the grounds, we can't accept bookings for this villa for groups with children under the age of 12.

You may also wish to know that the pool has a single depth of 1.5m

Parts of the route to this property include some quite steep twists and turns and narrow stretches of road, and the turn-off for Pizzo Castellaro is on quite a tight bend. The access road is also a little rough. For these reasons, we recommend guests rent smaller cars rather than people carriers or mini-vans. For more detailed information, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Our experience at Pizzo Castellaro was authentic, private and relaxing. We truly had an amazing time! The garden is gorgeous, such beautiful plants, and it's very well looked after. Also location is really unique, with nobody around and on the hill. You can see all 360 degrees around you. Would we return? Yes, whenever we will be in need of a private time next to the sea and pool, this villa will be on our go to list.

Pizzo Castellaro was great for relaxation and privacy and in an excellent location. It had a hotel feel even though it was a house.

We all really enjoyed everything about Pizzo Castellaro. The views were amazing to each side of the coast, the gardens were stunning, and it was great to have views from the pool.
