Description from owner

Description

Villa del Glicine is an old country residence settled at "Oasi delle Salinelle", an estate of 26,000 sqm, a large and secret garden paradise containing groves of olive, and many others trees. It is located about just 6 km from the historic centre of the charming, age-old Norman town of Cefalu, and combines the natural scenic beauty and peacefulness of the countryside with direct access to the sea.

The Villa is very quiet and peaceful for most of the year, although in the summertime the beach attracts many visitors for its natural beauty, its soft sands and its safe bathing: this is Salinelle beach, among the most scenically beautiful of Cefalu. The area offers markets, pizzerias, restaurants, pubs, beach lidos, to mention just a few of the offerings available, all is at walking distance.

Further details

Domestic pets including dogs are welcome, provided they of gentle disposition and friendly to humans as well as to any other animals which may be on the land!

Please, inform me if you will have pets with you during your staying.

Further details indoors

Villa del Glicine has two floors. On the ground floor is the entrance hall, the living room (containing a double sofa-bed), a delightfully traditional kitchen with attractive brickwork and decorated ceramic from Santo Stefano.

A bathroom with shower.

The second floor has 3 rooms with double beds (Two of these can be separated into 2 singles), another bathroom with shower and a single bed located on the landing

Two of the bedrooms have access to a large veranda/terrace from which you can enjoy a colourful view of the sea and the surrounding lush vegetation of palms, citrus and pine trees in which you will feel immediately immersed. And you can relax and have your breakfast outside in the shade of a large date palm beside the Villa. Inside the villa there is everything you need for cooking – crockery, gas oven, microwave oven – and there is stereo system, satellite TV, central heating radiators, hairdryer and irons if your clothes need ironing. An Internet Wi-Fi connection is available for guests inside and outside the house. There is no air conditioning, but in this place you will hardly feel the need for it! The proprietor, who lives on the estate, is very happy to meet all of your needs to ensure that your stay will be pleasant and relaxing!

Further details outdoors

Outside the house is an expansive wisteria pergola, underneath which is a large family-size table made in artisan brickwork, and a barbecue is located nearby, in the shade of a pathway of pine trees.

On returning from the beach, you can enjoy an external shower served by hot water and there is also a traditional-style stone basin for washing or rinsing small items.

Around the Villa you will have a large and secret garden paradise of 26.000 sqm containing groves of olive, orange and lemon, with trees of pine, cypress and palm, fruit trees such as mulberry and lotus, fig, apricot and banana trees… and not least our abundant vines.

The winter months of October and November are a time to discover the rustic delights of ancient traditions such as the olive harvest, and our utterly authentic olive oil will be directly available for you to taste.

With our home-made limoncello and our jams made using the fruits which you can freely gather yourselves, you will rediscover the simple pleasures of ingredients prepared at home.

From the house you can hear the sea-waves: the beach is just 200m away, directly accessible by a pathway through the gardens.

Sun loungers and canoes are provided for beach use, and a small yacht is available for the more adventurous.

Getting around

Directly south of Cefalù is the wonderful Madonie National Park with its charming villages and towns, such as Castelbuono, its delightful scenery, its impressive mountains and some wonderful walking. It is no coincidence then, that after Taormina and Palermo, Cefalù is probably the most popular tourist town in Sicily, offering, as it does, something for everyone.
