Casa Leonforte

Simple but comfortable 3-room holiday home with veranda and lovely private swimming pool (12x5x1.5 to 2.8m deep) in a beautiful location with beautiful views!

Located on a completely closed plot of almost 3000m in the middle of nature. Privacy, tranquility, views over villages / towns / beautiful landscape and yet a very short distance from civilization!

Its central location in Sicily makes it an excellent base for day trips across the island. In about 20 minutes by car you are on the A19 motorway, which crosses practically the entire island from Catania to Palermo and where you can always get along well because of little traffic. It goes without saying that a car (rental) is really necessary.

Layout; entrance, living - dining room with a fitted kitchen with a 4 burner gas hob, electric oven, extractor hood and a fridge/freezer. You will also find a washing machine here (also an ironing board and
iron are of course at your disposal) an LED TV and DVD with Chrome Cast for streaming your media (via your Ziggo Go app for NL TV channels for example or Netflix) and stereo - radio - CD (mp3) player, a 4-person dining table and a sitting area with a small 2-pers. sofa bed ( not suitable for large adults , by the way). From this room you have a view of the lovely veranda with a 6-person dining table. In the house there are two more bedrooms, the master bedroom with a double bed and a wardrobe, the children's bedroom with a bunk bed and a wardrobe. Finally, there is a neat bathroom with toilet, sink and shower.

Very good internet / wifi in and around the house.

Outside you have plenty of opportunities for recreation at the pool (with diving board) with 4 sun loungers, 2 sunbeds and a parasol. . For BBQ lovers there is a large stone BBQ
present. The atmospheric lighting around the house, around (and in) the swimming pool and in the driveway also makes it nice to sit outside in the evening.

Various extra services can also be booked via the key holders, such as the delivery of meals, etc.

In the immediate vicinity you have the lively town of Leonforte within easy reach with many churches and buildings, shops, terraces, but also a pleasant evening life with many (especially in the summer months) events. You should also not miss a visit to the impressive cemetery. Also walk through the characteristic old Sicilian village center to the Gran Fonte.

At a short and slightly further distance you will also find several old (charming and less charming) towns and villages such as Assoro, Enna, Calascibetta, Piazza Armerina, Nicosia. An extension of a real nature reserve is also within reach. Several characteristic agriturismos with a fantastic kitchen are also nearby.

Water sports at the nearby Lago Nicoletti (reservoir and nature reserve) or Lago Pergusa near Enna.

Truly authentic Sicily, without mass tourism, culinary paradise and a lot of culture within reach!

To enjoy a day at the beach, you can reach the beaches of (I lidi) Catania within about 45 minutes by car and if you want to combine the beach with fun shopping and dining in a nice place, we recommend Cefalu at more than an hour's drive. . Day trips to, for example, Palermo, Catania, Agrigento, Toarmina, Mount Etna and Siracusa are also recommended. Shopping in the aforementioned cities, of course, but also in the Sicilia Outlet Village, 10 km away from the highway, for the real lover of designer clothes!

You can play golf on 4 top courses, near Toarmina, Agrigento, Ragusa and Cefalu.

Again, due to the central location of your holiday home, about 90% of all sights and other hotspots are within a maximum of one and a half to two hours' drive, where you can discover Sicily from one location!

Accessibility is very good via direct flights from Amsterdam to Catania (with Transavia very cheap) or other companies. Car rental from the Netherlands is recommended, rental stations are located directly at the airports to pick up your car immediately.

Further information about this island can be found in the countless travel guides and of course on the internet. If you have any other questions, you can also ask them directly via the e-mail function.
