Casa 1873

The Space

Every detail of this villa oozes authenticity. From the original stone walls to the cuticci paved courtyard, the house is arranged in a horseshoe shape around this space. This creates the traditional curtigghiu, a place where guests can relax in cosy corners designed for relaxation. The character of the farmhouse is further enhanced by old feeding troughs that have been restored and given a new purpose, alongside beautifully decorated and painted wooden doors and furniture.

As you enter through the private parking area, the swimming pool is the first thing you see. An adjacent sunbathing area has plenty of comfortable loungers and straw parasols. Next to it, a charming terrace houses the barbecue, an outdoor kitchen and a table for al fresco dining. Just beyond the pool, surrounded by beds of prickly pear cacti and bougainvillea climbing the walls, lies the curtigghiu, the traditional inner courtyard. This is the heart of the home's convivial atmosphere.

At the far end, as you enter the villa, there is a spacious living area with a fully equipped kitchen, a breakfast counter, a comfortable sofa and a dining table. Three bedrooms, two doubles and one triple room, are arranged on either side of the house, allowing Casa 1873 to accommodate up to seven guests in total. Each bedroom has its own independent entrance and a private bathroom with a shower. Exposed stone walls enhance the character of each bedroom and reflect the charm of Sicilian tradition.

There is plenty of parking and the property is fully enclosed by characteristic dry-stone walls.
