Among oaks, chestnut, apple and olive trees, the old cottages of “La Gisamìa” are only 8 minutes car away from the centre of Petralia Sottana, the medieval village, head office of the 'Parco delle Madonie', which with its cathedral, its stonehouses and its paving ways, offers a still authentic example of old sicilians architecture. Ideal starting-point for hikes in the mountains and for visiting the other wonderful villages of the Park (Petralia Soprana, Polizzi Generosa, Geraci Siculo, Gangi, Castelbuono, Isnello), the cottages are in a private property of some hectares, peaceful and isolated.
Cozy and homely, the "House of the Pear Tree" suits for four guests. The groundfloor consists of an open living room with kitchen, table, chairs and sofa and also two single beds in a corner aside. There is also a fully equipped bath with shower, bathtub, two sinks and a bidet. On a spacious mezzanine is a double bed. The house provides all conveniences (wood stove, tv sat hd, cd player, kettle, hairdryer, wifi, etc.).
From Petralia, one hour and half driving, is possible to reach Cefalù and the sea of the northern coast of Sicily, a part from Palermo, Agrigento, Catania and Etna. La Gisamìa is the ideal place for those who love nature and mountain, for those who search for peace and silence. For those who love animals: dogs, cats and horses, cute and tame, who will visit you to receive some caresses.

Das Häuschen befindet sich in einem Wald in den Bergen, die Lage ist traumhaft ruhig. Der Eindruck des Hauses ist neu und gepflegt, die Ausstattung ist völlig ausreichend. Die Vermieterin ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit.
Das "Häuschen" liegt wunderschön eingebetet in der puren Natur der Madonie. Die Städte Cefalu und Palermo sind mit dem Auto (ca. 1 Stunde) oder dem Bus - von Petralia Sottana aus - gut zu erreichen. Wer Ruhe, den Abstand von Lärm, Trubel und Hektik sucht ist hier genau richtig. Das Bett war superbequem, das Haus groß genug, aber leider war die Küche sehr minimal ausgestattet. Wer es einfach und ruhig haben möchte, ist bei Ferdinando und Anne gut aufgehoben.
La Gisamia is an excellent location immersed in the beautiful landscape of the Maddonie. The house it self is great, tastefully furnished and is larger than it appears in the photos on the website. It is excellent equipped and surrounded by nature. Petralia is in walking distance. You will find all important shops there. The house is an excellent starting point for hiking Maddonie. Ferdinando and Anne are brilliant hosts and Massimo was an extermely helpful person.
