Charming Bed & Breakfast on the island of Sicily

Apart from B&B Il Casale, several other holiday accommodations lie scattered over the rambling, beautifully laid-out premises. The B&B includes only two guest rooms. 

Guest room 'Maestrale', the room we have chosen for you, comes with a terrace and a plot of garden and is located in a ground-level building. You have got a particularly beautiful view onto the landscape of the peninsula of Siracusa, which is partly a nature reserve. 

Guest room Maestrale with small plot of garden

Furnishing of the very cozy guest room includes a double bed, a small combo kitchenette (2 electric burners, sink, refrigerator with freezer compartment), air conditioning with heating system, TV and fly screens. The bathroom is equipped with shower cabin/WC/bidet.

On the room's partly roofed terrace and in the adjoining plot of garden you can spend pleasant hours reading, unwinding and sunbathing. A screen and some plants separate the terrace of Maestrale from the neighboring terrace.

Breakfast: Breakfast is typically Italian (sweet!). It is served in the breakfast room only a few meters off, but you can also have it served on your terrace. 

Pool and Mediterranean flora

The large pool (18 m long, 5 m wide, 1.40 m deep) is found in central location on the property and is shared by all the holiday guests on the premises. It is, in general and weather conditions permitting, open daily from mid-May to October. 

In the pool area you find comfortable sun loungers to relax and take a bath in the sun on, outdoor showers, changing cubicles and WCs at your disposal.

Free WiFi is available at and around the pool.

Further information for your stay at Il Casale

The sea as well as restaurants and shopping facilities are ca. 2 km from Il Casale. Should your holiday program include some excursions, we strongly recommend renting a car on site. Parking is available on the fenced property, right below the guest rooms. 

Should you be on the lookout for a good restaurant, "Ostrica Park" is the place to go. The restaurant is located right by the sea and serves delicious dishes of fresh-caught fish.

The nearest sandy beach with parking and small bar is 1.6 km, a boat rental ca. 1 km off. We can also recommend the beaches at Fontance Bianche, the rocky bays at nature reserve Plemmirio and the coast near Noto.

Destinations for excursions

Syracuse and its Old Town island of Ortigia are 10 km off and absolutely worth a visit. In ancient times, it counted among the most powerful towns of the world then known and Cicero called it the most beautiful and greatest of all Greek towns.

South of Isola di Siracusa lie the beautiful Baroque towns of Avola and Noto as well as well-known nature reserve Oasi Vendicari, the latter known as a place of rest for migratory birds on their way to Africa in winter. In summer Oasi Vendicari is a wonderful place for swimming in the sea and relaxing at marvelous beaches, in spring/autumn it is great for hiking tours between Mediterranean macchia and the sea.   

In the hinterland of Syracuse, the UNESCO World Heritage listed necropolis of Pantálica and its 5,000 tomb caves as well as the deep gorge of the Anapo river await you at nature reserve "Riserva Naturale Orientata".
