Casa delle Meridiane - House of Sundials

This old sicilian house is situated in the hilly country behind Siracusa, 3 km from the quiet little town of Canicattini Bagni. Beautiful canyons just like Cava Grande del Cassibile or Cava Carossello close to Noto Antica can be reached by car in a few minutes and are perfect for trekking and swimming in crystal-clear streams or natural pools. From here it takes about 20 minutes to reach Syracuse, Noto, Palazzolo Acreide, Pantalica and many sandy and rocky beaches. The space This typical country house was completely restored 10 years ago. The large property lies on 400 m altitude on the top of a hill and offers a sweeping view of Mount Etna and the coast. The guestroom is very cool in summer and is located on the ground floor. It has its own entrance, a private bathroom and a small terrace. Guest access Likewise, guests have the outdoor area in front of the room available. During your stay I would be happy to offer helpful information and practical tips. I have been working as a tourist guide for over 20 years and I can give you suggestions about excursions beyond the well-trodden tourist routes. The Iblei Mountains offer countless opportunities for walking and climbing tours and spectecular canyons with little rivers and natural pools invite you to exciting exploration tours and to bathing. You should not forget the gastronomic culture! It is my pleasure to inform you about small farms producing typical sicilian products. My husband is an architect specialized in sundials which are installed on the walls of the house and on the property. He would be glad to explain their function and technical details to you. Furthermore, he is a passionate motocycle rider and organizes, upon request, tours in Sicily. The family also includes two dogs and several cats. Other things to note Only for dog lovers!
