The house welcomes you with comfortable rooms which were restored and renovated using natural local materials (as stone and wood), perfectly according to the rules implemented by the bioclimatic architecture, but also in the strict respect of the local traditions and the rural culture.
The house, at its origin, residence of the sharecroppers and a part of it, place of storage for the seasonal agricultural produce and also shelter for the facilities and the tools used for the cultivation of the land, is located in an unique position, on a rocky spur, over the famous rupestral construction of the so-called “Castello” (The Castle) of Cava d’Ispica.
“Casa al Castello” was built in 1954 and was meant to provide decent life conditions to the countryside peasants which used to live inside the rocky caverns of the so called “Castello” even in the early post second world war period.
The background of this scenery is the famous cave, a majestic and picturesque valley characterized by the typical Mediterranean vegetation (“macchia”); the cave is an archaeological area sprinkled with various testimonies that sustain the continuity and the evolution of the human being during the centuries: prehistoric necropolises, christian catacombs, rupestral oratories and various dwellings.
Our holiday house has also a large garden where you can relax by taking a walk or having a rest on comfortable deck-chairs, under the olive trees and between other particular plants of the local flora.
Breakfast is served in the breakfast room and in the reception room you can watch TV on comfortable sofas.
Service food available provided by our catering partner (dinner only and on reservation the very morning only).
The bedrooms, the reception-lounge area and the breakfast room inside our facility as well as the immediate out-doors surroundings provide you access to free WI-FI Internet connection.
Our swimming-pool will refresh your stay during the hottest summer days, assuring you in the same time relaxation and well-being.
You can also enjoy the inviting outdoor Hot Tub, located on a rocky spur overlooking the valley: just a few meters of rock will separate you from the cliff.
The solarium area and the grass lawn all around the house furnished with sunbeds and lawn chairs will offer you real moments of pleasant rest that will be emphasized by an atmosphere of absolute calmness which turns to be a peculiarity of the entire landscape-valley all around and of our guest house too.
The rooms offer you all the comforts, included bath towels and complete-bedding; daily room cleaning-up and changing beds every three days
