About this property

Casa Pergola is a once olive mill, lovingly restored farmhouse set in the beautiful Sicilian countryside. The house is a short drive to the beaches and coastal villages of the north coast. Vibrant Palermo "Italy's City of Culture for 2018" is 30 minutes away, and the Madonie Mountain hill cities are a short drive to the East. In winter there is skiing in the mountains and beautiful nights by the fire place which is massive and romantic. Some amenities include heated pool, and hand made shower mosaics in the bathrooms. The bedrooms are beautiful and comfortable.

Casa Pergola is a swimmers delight. A private 3.5 X 11 meter pool here at the house and beautiful beaches with ancient towers and seaside villages are a short distance away. We have a large barbecue area and outdoor dining is either under the olive trees, shade of the wisteria or on our dramatic roof terrace. Come and stay I guarantee you will be happy you did!

Stunning Setting

Paul is A... couldn't be kinder, and an extremely gracious host. Casa Pergola is a true Italian experience. The kids were in the heated pool everyday, thanks to lovely weather, which gave the adults time to relax and enjoy Italian wine and the beautiful vistas. Renting a 4 wheel drive is a must. La sicilia e bellissima!

All things considered, not perfect but still great.

My wife and I stayed a week and really enjoyed the property. The outdoor spaces in particular are awesome. Spacious, varied, shaded, sun, views from everywhere, lovely garden and plantings. The house itself is well done and equipped, cozy but kind of small. I would recommend putting screen doors (yes I know they don't exist in Europe) on the doors so you can get fresh air without leaving them wide open to the creatures and insects. Lastly, the roads leading to the house are pretty rough, and an SUV with a little extra clearance would be wise. The roads also add time to wherever you want to go. Just remember, you are not walking to town, and it is 15 minutes to drive to any town, so if you like convenience over privacy, this may not be the one for you. But it really is a great spot, and definitely have Bruno cook you dinner. Worth every Euro.

A Sanctuary in Sicily

Our relaxing accommodation for 10 days in Sicily was nothing short than a piece of paradise. Accommodation beautifully renovated with decor that complimented the old style olive mill. Beds exceptionally comfortable! Surrounding gardens a delight to explore. However, our hosts were beyond super! In fact they became like family always there when we needed them while also allowing for privacy. They helped our trip become unforgettable.

Absolute bliss

We loved our stay at Casa Pergola. It is very comfortable as well as beautifully thoughtfully designed, with so many unique features mostly made or created by the 2 artist owners Paul and David. Our favourite place was the pool house— perfect through the scorching hot days and the evenings. Paul was extremely helpful , making suggestions where to go, how to get places even making reservations. We could not have chosen a more wonderful place. The beauty and peacefulness of the area filled all our souls. The roads around it though are quite rough so a higher car is better. This is an incredibly special place. evening. the area in the

A Remarkable Place

We spent a week at Casa Pergola with our two teenagers and had the most wonderful time! We arrived to Paul and David helping us with our luggage and walking us through the amenities of the beautiful home and expansive garden and pool. The views are absolutely breathtaking and you immediately feel that you’ve escaped to somewhere very, very special. As hosts, Paul and David leave nothing to be desired…the house is extremely well-stocked with all that you need, including wine and coffee. They also helped us book reservations at wonderful local restaurants as well as offered insightful advice for excursions. If there was any small thing we needed, they were prompt to respond. Truly exceptional hosts! Also, we followed others’ advice and booked two nights of dinner by Bruno and Giovanni. If you enjoy gourmet dining, THIS IS A MUST DO! The food and presentation are five-star, knock-your-socks-off caliber, not to mention they are both delightful to talk to. Overall, staying at Casa Pergola imprinted on our family in a big way. We will be back, for sure!

An Oasis

The pictures of this property are amazing and I promise it is even better in person. You cannot turn a corner without seeing something created with artistry and beauty, whether it’s the gardens or some small detail in the house. It was a gorgeous space to hang out with our teens. Each day we took a small sojourn to Cefalù or Caccamo or Trabia. We all agreed the best part was hanging out at the house, listening to the sheep bells and playing cards. We had Bruno cook once, and if we do it again, I’d have him come every night! Further, Paul and David are wonderful hosts: meeting us after an extremely delayed flight, helping me get medical help for a wasp sting, picking up lost luggage…This is a house for deep settling and restoration. My kids didn’t even want music by the pool because they wanted to hear the bells and the trees and the birds. Go, read Sicilian novels by the pool, eat wonderful food and delight!

Spectacular Casa Pergola

We had a wonderful time at Casa Pergola. The place is so much more than the beautiful pictures in the listing. It has to be experienced in person. One of the standout features of this villa is its outdoor spaces. A large swimming pool overlooking the countryside, well-manicured gardens, and multiple terraces provide ample opportunities for relaxation and outdoor dining. Overall, this spectacular villa near Caccamo, Sicily, is a perfect choice for those seeking a luxurious retreat in a stunning setting. Whether you're looking to unwind by the pool, explore the nearby towns, or simply soak in the beauty of the Sicilian countryside, this villa offers an unforgettable experience. The hosts of the villa were so generous with their time, their warm hospitality and attention to detail, making guests feel welcomed and pampered throughout their stay.

Spectacular Views and All the Comforts of Home

Casa Pergola is a a rare find: a beautiful comfortable home with sweeping views of a lake and mountains surrounded by olive groves, flowers and fruit trees. The outdoor space is incredible including a beautiful pool and outdoor fireplace and "family room ". The kitchen is great for cooking as well. Paul and David are fabulous hosts and feel like old friends and steered us the right way time and again including having Chef Bruno and Giovanni prepare a gourmet dinner. In all, a wonderful vacation you'll always cherish.

Exceeded my high expectations

We couldn’t be happier with our stay. The home is beautiful, charming and unique, the setting divine and the owner anticipated our every need and then some. Were it possible to give 10 stars, I’d give them in every category! Caccamo is well located to explore the whole island (but it is a shame to leave the home) and the owner, who speaks English and Italian, knows Sicily and its most beautiful spots and is happy to point you in the right direction. Our Caccamo stay was perfect- we are so very fortunate to have been there - and have left there relaxed, renewed and ready to enjoy wonderful memories of an extraordinary stay.

The property made our trip A+++. The Owners are super attentive, friendly, and love their guests. Bruno our driver/chef/guide became family. We were able to experience Olive oil pressing, 1k year old winery, Greek ruins, hot springs, amazing food and sights in Palermo & Cefalu. The Castle of Caccamo all within >2hr driving distance from the home. The Home is amazing you feel it is 300yrs old with modern amenities. The attention to detail is superb. We will absolutely be coming back.

Our stay at Casa Pergola was literally perfect. This was not only the best villa we ever stayed in, but also the best host we ever met. Paul and David were so welcoming and always made sure we had everything we need to make this stay special. Casa Pergola is tastefully furnished and full of beautiful details. You can see how much effort these guys put into it. And the view is absolutely stunning. We loved everything about this. And as if that wasn't enough we were blown away by an amazing dinner served by chef Bruno and Giovani. Absolute recommendation!

Absolutely Amazing!!!

My family and I stayed here for a week over the summer, it was our final week of almost a month stay in Italy. As other reviews have stated this house was incredible! It had everything we needed, the most stunning views and literally was a work of art. As we arrived there were even rolled up towels on every chair by the pool like a resort. Also as mentioned the road getting there was rough, about 12 minutes off the main road to town. Make sure to have a decent car for a rocky dirt road, but trust me when you arrive you will be blown away! Paul & David were amazing hosts, gave us tons of info on the area, and even helped us carry in our bags. Their private chef recommendation is also an absolute must! I would go again and book Chef Bruno at least twice next time. It was the perfect place to end our trip. Highly recommend!

Une semaine exceptionnelle

Nous avons passé tous ensemble avec nos 4 enfants une semaine inoubliable dans un véritable havre de paix. Le jardin et la piscine sont spectaculaires et malgré la très forte chaleur nous avons passé la plupart du temps dans le jardin et le pool house , bien ombragés. Il ne manque rien dans la cuisine et le barbecue est tres facile. Les chambres climatisées sont agréables et jolies. Le chemin d'accès a été une grande surprise pour nous. Spectaculaire! Une bonne voiture pas trop basse ni trop petite et il se fait bien. Merci beaucoup à nos hôtes pour leur accueil. C'est un réel plaisir d'avoir fait votre connaissance. A bientôt...

Outstanding property in a great, quiet setting

We had a great, relaxing week in Paul's fantastic property. The view is special, over the reservoir and the olive trees to the village of Caccamo. The equipment is exceptional, everything is available for ambitious hobby cooks. In addition to the washing machine and dishwasher, drinks were also prepared for us, there was everything you could think of, including homemade olive oil. The outdoor seating is extremely comfortable , the pool was a great way for our children to cool off. The communication with Paul was uncomplicated and direct, in the end even a forgotten T-shirt was brought to us all the way to Palermo. We can only recommend the accommodation to everyone, we will gladly come back!

Einfach nur traumhaft!

Wir haben hier in den Osterferien eine ganz wundervolle Woche zu dritt (mit unserer Teenager-Tochter) verbracht. Hier hat einfach alles gestimmt: ein traumhaftes Haus in wunderschöner Lage und unfassbar nette Gastgeber, so dass die Erholung eigentlich direkt bei der Ankunft beginnt! Es ist alles sehr geschmackvoll und mit Liebe eingerichtet, und der Garten und die ganze Natur rund um das Haus sind fantastisch. Dazu der Blick auf den See, man kann einfach nur die Seele baumeln lassen! Eigentlich hatten wir auf Sizilien mehr Touren und diverse Sehenswürdigkeiten eingeplant, aber gerade bei schönem Wetter will man das Grundstück eigentlich gar nicht verlassen. Paul war immer hilfreich und einfach nur supernett, und insgesamt kann man sagen, dass wir hier eine echte Oase gefunden haben! Der Pool ist toll, wir konnten ihn leider noch nicht nutzen, weil es im April (für uns zumindest) noch etwas zu frisch war, aber im Sommer ist das sicher noch ein weiterer riesiger Pluspunkt. Dazu die vielen schönen Sitzgelegenheiten, die authentische Innenausstattung im Haus, die trotzdem keinen Komfort vermissen lässt... besser geht es nicht. Vielen Dank für alles!

About the host

Hosted by Paul Mahoney

We, David and Paul, both come from artistic backgrounds. Paul was a potter in Mid-Coast Maine and David a decorative painter, created murals and hand painted furniture working throughout the United States and Tuscany. We moved to Sicily in search of something unspoiled and authentic. What we found was an amazing island steeped in history, a food culture that honors a tradition of eating fresh and in season foods, and a life style that puts 'LIVING WELL' in front of everything else (with the exception of 'La Famiglia' of course), No one loves 'family' more than the Sicilians. A Sicilian friend once warned me 'You better be careful, if you are liked the Sicilians will drag you into their family!'

Why they chose this property

This is a house for artists, romantics, gardeners and swimmers. Really anyone who searches for natural beauty, a place to decompress, to breath, to be rejuvenated. Casa Pergola is perfect for anyone who wants to reconnect with loved ones. For those seeking an authentic urban experience, Palermo which was "Italy's City of Culture for 2018", is just 30 minutes away. Your time here will be unspoiled and as private as you wish.

What makes this property unique

The house is wonderfully private. Even when the house is full there are always little private spaces to go to when you need to recharge, whether it be the spacious pool house with fireplace, shaded garden courtyard or dramatic roof terrace. When our guests do have to return home they do so with some reluctance, for many of them Casa Pergola was a slice of heaven that is hard to leave behind.
