Casa Enza is located in the old town of Santa Flavia. Here you will find everything just around the corner. The small supermarket, several fruit and greengrocers, pizzerias and of course a few bars. This is exactly what everyday life in Sicily feels like.

In the districts of Porticello, Sant’Elia and Capo Zafferano, life revolves around the sea. Here you can swim, walk and relax – and get fresh fish every day.

The neighbouring town of Bagheria is also known as Palermo’s “little sister”. Here you will find, among other things, the world-famous “Villa of Monsters”. For those who spend the winter in Casa Enza, Bagheria is also interesting because of its shopping opportunities.

The Discover Santa Flavia map on Google Maps gives you an overview of the surroundings of Santa Flavia. As you can see, all points of interest are within walking distance.

The nearby train station makes Casa Enza an insider tip for all those who want to discover Sicily without a rental car. Even getting there is no problem with these tips.

Santa Flavia is also perfect for excursions by train. As this map on Google Maps shows, Santa Flavia lies at the centre of a well-developed train network along the north-western coast of Sicily.

But why wander into the distance? Santa Flavia and the surrounding area offer everything that makes Sicily special – the only thing missing is a small volcano. On this website you will find an overview of the various local self-organised activities.

So, it’s perfect that you additionally can rent bikes for Casa Enza.

You can work from anywhere and if you are looking for a sunny home office for the winter, with fast Internet? Then Casa Enza is perfect for you.

And if you do need to visit a customer or friends anywhere in Europe, the train will take you almost from the front door of Casa Enza to the basement of Palermo airport.

The kitchen at Casa Enza is typically Sicilian – no frills, but equipped with “equipment” from brand manufacturers. The fridge-freezer is designed for longer stays. The drinking water is treated in the kitchen and is even approved for newborn babies.

The restoration and design of Casa Enza in spring 2025 was supervised by Sicula Services. Maria Carnevale and her team love to combine traditional Sicilian and modern elements and work together with local craftsmen and artists.

At Casa Enza, ceramic artist Mirella Pipia epitomises the Sicilian tradition.

Up the mountain in the morning with an unforgettable sea view, lunch and siesta in your holiday letting, to the beach in the afternoon and to the new trendy pizzeria in town in the evening.

These routes are perfect for a bike – or rather for the right bike like the one in the photo above. Because you can even get up the mountain on one – and you don’t have to be an athlete to do so.

So it fits perfectly that the local company Sicula Bike rents out bicycles to guests of this holiday letting.

On this page you will find information about the bike and here is a list of the accessories supplied and the prices. Sicula Bike would like your bike to accompany you throughout the holiday. The minimum hire period is therefore 7 days.
