VILLA LA GIARA 2

Sicilia - Palermo - CEFALÙ

Description:

PRIVATE STRUCTURE (Rental only). Villa La Giara is a charming rustic hideaway, simple and romantic. This delightful stone house stands on the edge of a promontory in an enviable position. From here you can admire the coastline of sandy coves and rocky bays from the heated jacuzzi and from the terraces. Each room enjoys a direct access to outdoors thus creating a pleasant indoor outdoor situation. The lovely garden includes a space for outdoor eating complete with barbecue. This villa is perfect for those who love the sea in privacy where the beach is easily reached directly from the terrace but yet only a few kilometers from the wonderful Cefalù with its many restaurants bars and shops. The area is rich of hilltop villages on the Madonie mountains such as Castelbuono, full of history and nature reserves, like the one of the Madonie with numerous walks to take on your own or with a specialized guide. In about one hour's drive is the capital, Palermo with its colorful delights like markets, historical monuments, great shopping and local delicacies in every corner.

Interior:

Villa La Giara develops on one floor and is furnished with simplicity. The main entrance gives onto a still room with a pantry. From here you can access the masonry kitchen clad with typical Sicilian tiles and a direct access to the outdoor eating space. The kitchen is simple but complete with bare necessities and include a dishwasher and washing machine. The floor is completed by a bathroom with shower, a small living area with a dining table and a couple of armchairs that act as sitting area. From here, an oblique ladder leads up to bedroom on a mezzanine with a sea view window. Please note: Due to the low ceiling in the mezzanine bedroom, the ladder between the ground floor and the mezzanine and a low ceiling (1,55m) in the passage between the pantry and the living room, this property is not advisable to children, tall persons, and those with restricted mobility.

Park:

The entrance lane is flanked by tall pine trees that shade the parking spaces. Outside, the pretty lawned garden with mediterranean macchia of 35 sq. m. houses a heated jacuzzi (1,45m x 2,50m available all year). Nearby is the outdoor cold shower and sunbathing area with sea view. There are three panoramic terraces, one on each side of the villa. The terrace at the back with its outdoor eating area and barbecue can be accessed directly from the kitchen. The private gate opens onto the stairs that lead down to the beach (about 50 steps). Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.
