Il Piccolo Casale – charming villa with pool near Capo D’Orlando
by f.ajello
Il Piccolo Casale
Ancient olive press with panoramic views of the Aeolian Islands; swimming pool
The nucleus of the ancient farmhouse is a 17th century watchtower that was later converted into an olive press.
It remains a typical Sicilian casale, part of it designed to meet the needs of the farm, the other part a refined living space for its landed gentry owners , with little formal garden and antique majolica tiles on its floors.
The current owners have retained the original structure, restored the ancient stone-vaulting, and used natural pigments on the walls, yet have transformed the house into one that has all modern comforts. The spacious living room has a fireplace and a large window with lovely views over the lawn and swimming pool to the Tyrhenian seaand the Aeolian Islands. There is also an extremely well-equipped kitchen , and each elegant bedroom has an ensuite bathroom. Piccolo Casale has a lovely location, secluded and verdant, yet it is just 500 metres from the sea – perfect for anyone who likes to swim, yet wants peace and quiet at home.
