Casette di Calzata
An Eden with a Sea View
From first light, the luxurious Sicilian sun bathes your terrace in a warm glow. The gentle aroma of fresh coffee mingles with the natural scents of the vast Mediterranean garden in which you have awoken.
In front of you, stone’s throw away, a huge expanse of Mediterranean Sea glitters invitingly. At your back, to the south, the mountains of the Madonie nature reserve rise up invitingly. Today, however, both can wait – it’s the first morning of your dream holiday and you only want one thing: to relax and regenerate in this hillside paradise.
The Calzata Estate
The Casette di Calzata is a modern Eden. Sprawling lazily across 14 full acres of pasture and grove, it is home to over a thousand olive trees, countless species of topical and Mediterranean plants and palms. Among the grass and and countless flowering wild herbs of the meadows, our loyal and good-natured gardener, Isotta the donkey, feels particularly at home. The septet of detached holiday villas are almost lost in this verdant paradise.
In the heat of the long Sicilian summer, a large twinkling pool (from 1 May to 31 October) offers its constant invitation to all our guests – the perfect spot for a relaxing cool down.
Peace, Quiet and Seclusion
At the Casette di Calzata, the peace and privacy of our guests is a top priority, The pool area closes at 21:00 and from 23:00 it is night-time. Parties of any kind are not welcome.
Top Tip: Sicily is particularly quiet and green in winter and spring. As all the holiday homes at Casette di Calzata have reliable and independent heating, an out-of season trip can be the perfect escape. Explore Sicily and enjoy some winter sun.

The Casette di Calzata is not only the perfect spot for nature-loving singles and couples – families with children are guaranteed the warmest of welcomes. Besides the pool, the acres of space will keep young ones entertained from dawn to dusk – and guarantee a very sound night’s sleep at the end of it! The estate is completely fenced off from road traffic.
