Casa Pezzafilippa - Holiday apartment at the sandy beach of Donnalucata/Scicli

Building sand castles and experiencing culture

"Per arrivare a mare, uscendo dalla casa, si deve esclusivamente attraversare la spiaggia." ("To get to the sea after you have left the house, you need only cross the sandy beach.") – that's how friendly owner Signor Adriano, who also grows organic tomatoes, describes the location of his four holiday apartments at Donnalucata.

When we were on site, we found this fantastic location to be true. The wide sandy beach of the district of Pezzafilippa stretches out in front of the house. With its gently sloping access into the sea the beach offers ideal conditions for families with children.

From among the four holiday apartments in the house, we have chosen for our Cilentano guests the 1st-floor apartment with a fantastic sea view terrace.

Charming holiday apartment by the sea 

Charming Casa Pezzafilippa accommodates two adults and two children.

The apartment includes an eat-in kitchen, a double bedroom, a bunk-bed room for children and a bathroom (shower/WC/bidet).

The eat-in kitchen (incl. 4-burner gas stove, oven, refrigerator with freezer compartment), which is furnished also with a sofa bed, opens onto the apartment’s terrace.

Sea view terrace

On the terrace, which is shaded by an awning and where you find garden furniture, a small grill and a wash basin at your disposal, you are seated, so-to-speak, directly above the bright sandy beach.

Casa Pezzafilippa features air conditioning with heating system (extra charge for use) and internet.
A washing machine is shared by the four apartments in the house.

Parking: You can park your car in a public parking lot near the holiday apartment.

Surroundings

Shopping facilities and restaurants are found at Donnalucata, which is ca. 2 km by car from Casa Pezzafilippa. You can also walk (ca. 800 m) to the center along the beach. So, when taking a morning stroll, you could bring 'home' some fresh panini for breakfast.

The UNESCO World Heritage listed Baroque town of Scicli is only 8 km off.

Tips

Should you be an early riser, do stop by the fish market of Donnalucata, where the fresh catch is offered for sale. You might even get to chat with the fishermen and the inhabitants of the town.

Cyclists too get their money’s worth in the south of Sicily. The flat open country and the fact that there is hardly any traffic on the coastal road during low season offer ideal conditions for a discovery tour of the southern part of Italy’s largest island by bike.
