Masseria Pernice
by f.ajello
Masseria Pernice
An old country masseria that has been restored; marvellous natural environment; swimming pool; close to Palermo
12 Sleeps
The Masseria Pernice is the property of a family of Sicilian aristocrats and lies on a 135 hectare estate of vineyards, olive groves and pastureland.
The farmhouse, or baglio, was built at the beginning of the 20th century and has a classic Sicilian-style internal courtyard. The four apartments facing the main farmhouse were used by workers during the grape and olive harvests and have been restored according to the principals of bio-architecture, and decorated with family heirlooms, Sicilian ceramics and antique prints.
The baglio retains its traditional cobbles, and its pale pink walls are covered with bougainvillea, jasmine, roses and geraniums, creating an atmosphere which is at the same time simple, welcoming and peaceful. There is a salone – open to all guests — created within what was once the granary. From here, you pass into a splendid garden set against hills covered with pines and eucalypti, where you will find a large swimming pool (14m x 7m) where you can keep cool in the heat of the summer, as well as a shady patio and an area for barbeques.

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.

Le Mille e una notte – luxury villa in Palermo area
by f.ajello
Le Mille e una Notte
Moorish-style villa at Mondello with swimming pool. Beach within walking distance
sleeps 8
The villa lies within the historic core of Mondello, an area known as ‘delle saline’, which still retains something of the appearance and atmosphere of the modest fishing village Mondello was before becoming Palermo’s most fashionable seaside resort.
The villa’s name, ‘a thousand and one nights’ reflects its exotic Moorish-style architecture. It is set in three different buildings within a vast garden – a rare thing in Mondello.
The first building, Arabic in style, and closest to the entrance, houses the first bedroom. A small private terrace guarantees guests maximum privacy.
From here a long paved avenue, flanked by luxuriant vegetation, leads to the building housing the living area. This consists of a spacious living room, an carefuklly hidden kitchen, a bar area, and an ample patio with dining table and sofas.
The third building holds the rest of the bedrooms – two double rooms with ensuite bathroom on the ground floor, and on the upper floor (reached via a spiral staircase) a suite, consisting of a spacious living room, bedroom with small terrace, a small kitchen and a bathroom.
The fulcrum of the villa, however, is the luxuriant garden with its swimming pool. Several little ‘conversation corners’, set with garden furniture, and illuminated at night, make it a genuine outdoor living room. The swimming pool is large, with a slide and diving board. There is a changing room and bathroom nearby.
