Staying with Rosemarie Tasca d'Almerita at her beautiful home was an incredible experience for us. The grounds are as beautiful as shown in the pictures, and there is a lot of opportunities to hike around the estate. Rosemarie and her staff made us feel special - from helping us arrange a tour of the winery operations, to wonderful conversation, to all our meals, to swimming in the pool. We had full board - for us it was perfect since we really just wanted to relax and not have to worry about anything. Finding her place was not difficult (just follow the signs to Tenuta Regaleali!), but if it helps, the entrance is at (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN).

It was a very special place. Rosemarie made our stay memorable We spent 2 weeks in Sicily and our stay with Rosemarie was the highlite!!! Next time we will stay with Rosemarie for our entire trip and bring all our friends too!!!!!

The surroundings at Rosemarie's look wonderful. From your bedroom window you have a great view of the vineyards and the garden. You can sit on the terrace or have a relaxed day at the pool. Rosemarie was very welcoming and told us stories & facts about the family's wines and its history. The optional Sicilian dishes prepared by her and her assistant have been very genuine and tasty. She even gave as her own cook book as a farewell gift! :-) We recommend it to everyone, who wants to relax in the sun with a beautiful view and enjoy one of Sicily's best wines.

Rosemarie was a welcoming and gracious host. She was waiting for us at her lovely home on her family's estate. She arranged for a tour of the family winery along with a tasting. Her assistant was happy to show us how to make a delicious Sicilian appetizer. What a wonderful experience! The friendliness along with the incredible views made this a memorable stay.

Our stay at Rosemarie Tascas was the highlight of our trip. The tranquil estate is absolutely gorgeous, with rolling hills covered in vineyards, Olive trees and more. Rosemarie s warmth and hospitality along with her quiet charm enhanced our stay. She made a nervous traveler in a foreign land feel at home. You knew the food was prepared with love I would recommend to anyone. Stay here and travel to other towns to tour, then come home to Regaleali.

Rosemarie's hilltop cottage is a homely retreat nestled in among the charming buildings of a winery. It is very picturesque and Rosemarie and her assistants were very hospitable and welcoming. Having access to the new swimming pool down the road completed a relaxing and delightful stay in this bed and breakfast which verges on being a resort.

A most wonderful stay at Rosemarie 's house in the beautiful and very extensive Tenuta Regaleali vineyard. From the terrace overlooking the flowering garden, you see the vast tapestry of vines and ploughed fields spread over the hills below. Rosemarie is a most gracious and generous host, sharing the history of her noble family and the development of their wineries, and taking us on a tour of the enormous and sophisticated bottling facility and the old family mansion (usually only accessible if you are on a special tour). Her house is filled with interesting artwork and books, with a comfortable living room. Cettina the friendly cook provided delicious meals using local produce- fresh ricotta, apricots, friedeggplant, honey, a delicate risotto with zucchini and zucchini flowers. Even traditional panelli. All accompanied by the excellent Tasca d'almerita wines from the estate. The house is easy to find, with signs from Vallelunga Pratameno. Our 2 day visit concluded with Rosemarie taking us to the Casa Vecchia on the estate where they sell wine at very reasonable prices and run cooking classes. An important tip , check charges for meals with Rosemarie before you come, as you will need to pay in cash. An experience to be remembered for peace, lovely walks in the woods, vineyard and gardens.

We hadden een geweldige week in een fantastisch huis. Alles was naar wens. Evert

La casa Clara es fantastica. Tiene todo lo necesario para pasar unos dias en Sicilia en una autentica casa de la la campiña Siciliana. Su localizacion, fue muy conveniente para poder visitar Palermo, Cefalu y Agrigento. Eramos 11 y estuvimos muy comodos. Elena y Clara son encantadoras y muy muy atentas, con mucho interes en nuestro bien estar. Ha sido mi primer experiencia con airbnb y he quedado encantada. Mil gracias Elena y Clara!!!!!

The host canceled this reservation 175 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

7 of us (of which: 3 grandparents and two children aged 6 & 9) had a fantastic stay at Andrea's house. The views were amazing. The house is much bigger and more comfortable than it appears in the pictures. Also, being in the mountains it wasn't oppressively hot during the day and we did not miss air conditioning at all. You do need a car, the roads are mountainous but splendid. We found it a good base camp for day trips to both Etna and the riserva naturale dello zingaro. Had a brilliant holiday.

We had a wonderful twelve days in the Kobe. It’s a fantastic house, very well equipped, with stunning mountain views . At he Kobe you feel private without being closed off from the rest of the world. The neighbors run a farm, so there’s a lot of traffic of cows and goats going on, very nice. Sclafani Bagni is at walking distance. It’s a beautiful little village, build on top of a mountain, inhabited by very nice and friendly people. There’s a bar, a little supermarket, a butcher (who opened his shop for us on Wednesday afternoon, because we didn’t know shops are closed then) And there’s a baker. For vegetables etc. you have to drive to Caltovuturo, which is pretty easy to reach by car. We had the former thermal bath down Sclafagni Bagni for our own. It’s a natural well in the middle of the mountains, at 20 minutes driving distance from The Kobe. (warm water coming out of the ground, bathing with a mountain view) Communication with Andrea and Stefano went smoothly. So, staying at the Kobe was great, we would really like to come back in the future.

A very relaxing few days in a beautiful house in the Sicilian hills. An excellent, remote place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist traps. Surrounded by purple wild flowers and breathtaking views we loved our time here. We went at the beginning of April and it does get quite cold at night but we were welcomed to the house by a roaring fire. Andrea and Stefano are exceptionally welcoming and helpful.

This accommodation might be good in summer, but definitely not suitable for winter.

What an amazing place to stay... The peace, especially at night, was so utterly relaxing. In August it was wonderfully hot in the day time but with really pleasant cooler evenings to play cards out on the terrace and to sleep deeply at night. The local village, Sclafani Bagni, is incredibly picturesque and the views all around the house are breath-taking. Each morning you can hear the goats' bells clanking as they walk up the mountainside nearby and you can fetch fresh crunchy bread and peaches from the village. We loved it! Don't forget you will need CASH in the village as they don't take cards - the nearest ATM is in Caltovuturo about 20 minutes drive away. The two Agriturismo farmhouses nearby that Andrea recommends are quite different to one another but both very welcoming with delicious food and offering swimming pools for you to use before or after your meal.

Great place in a remote location with beautiful views and great hiking opportunities. The villa is spacious and authentic. Andrea was friendly, helpful, and quick to reply in good English. There is a village nearby with a small supermarket. We (4 friends) had a great time. Hikers should definitely climb the mountain behind Caltavuturo; a great hiking area with stunning views.

We had a very pleasant stay at Andreas. The villa is nice, quiet, very confortable and well-equipped. It is in the countryside, but not far from a village. We were good welcomed and The surroundings are beautiful, and this is worth spending some days in the park of Madonie. A precision, anyway : the thermal source is not exploited to let people enjoy it, there is just a small bath.

Andrea, our absentee host, was extremely helpful in all ways. Even recommending a lovely fresh fish restaurant in Palermo that we found wonderful. The casa was in a great, remote location and the nearby village of Sclafani Bagni was the prettiest of all the hilltop villages and was set amongst beautiful and dramatic hills. I can highly recommend this place if you want a relaxing and rural break.

Merveilleux lieu ds le quotidien de l'italie, loin de la foule touristique. Des hôtes accueillant et au petit soins. Une propreté irréprochable. Une alimentation locale, gourmet, ef peu cher. Merci

Our stay at Glorias house was very relaxed. The best place to take a day of from the stress of traveling and to recharge your batteries. Gloria was super helpful and very friendly. The outdoor kitchen is equipped with everything you need for cooking up to 10 persons and has a wonderful view. And even the fridge had some nice treasures to be explored. Thanks for a nice stay.

The Villa is beautiful, large and unique. Probably the most amazing place we stayed in. Located in a breathtaking view with a huge amazing swimming pool, well equipped kitchen and nice large rooms. We were a group of 3 families with kids and we had a great week. It looks exactly like in the photos and even better. However, a few important things to note: The Villa is totally isolated, meaning it is 15-20 minutes drive up the mountain, 9 KM from a road. It is 45-50 minutes away from a supermarket! The housekeeper does not speak English and communication with him is not easy, although he and the cleaner are very nice people. 3 of the double rooms have sky light above the bed, making it hard to sleep in the morning We had issues with hot water in the shower. It was fixed every day but we had to ask for it. The Hamam and Jacuzzi that are part of the Villa name and description, we found out that they want to charge extra money for them. After insisting that Airbnb description includes it the owner agreed to open it for us for 2 hours a day.... Other than that, we asked to invite Lucia the chef (we read about her in a tripadvisor review) and she cooked 2 amazing dinners for us, and the cost was a "no brainer".

Die Fahrt in die Berge hinauf nach Sclafani Bagni war schon atemberaubend, und das Abendessen im Restaurant von Guiseppe übertraf voll und ganz unsere Erwartungen. Es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall, dort zu Essen. Guiseppe und seine Frau waren so nette Gastgeber, dass wir sehr gerne wiederkommen! Ein außergewöhnliches Erlebnis auf unserer Reise durch Italien!

Ottima accoglienza

A comfortable house and separate garden and woods around it with a beautiful view not far from Alia. We loved our stay.

We had a great stay at Giovanni's place in the beautiful Alia countryside! The house was clean and very bright, and the property is great for kids, who loved the dogs and the beautiful tree house. Giovanni provides an organic vegetable basket directly from the garden, which was delicious. If you want a tranquil stay in the Sicilian countryside, I can highly recommend this place.

Formidable !! la maison est magnifique, très confortable, au calme. Ce qui nous a beaucoup plu, c'est l'accueil de la famille, la possibilité de manger avec eux et de goûter leur cuisine sicilienne délicieuse. La vue sur les montagnes est splendide et en plus en plein mois d’août, comme c'est un peu en altitude, il fait beaucoup moins chaud que sur la côte. Nous reviendrons plus longtemps! Merci pour tout emile et chantal et leur 4 enfants

The place is very beautifull; the pool, the view cats and dogs... you'll find peace & quiet here! Breakfast was nice (with home-made products!), the rooms are very good (protected against the heat, very clean) - all in all a good place to stay. We consider the place however to be slightly overpriced (room prices and additional costs). It did seem to us everything does come at a price at Giuliana; (for example) we were invited for a simple dinner but turned out to be paying €18 per person afterwards - which we think is high.

This wonderful stay and one of the highlights of our trips. We were surprised to find our room to be very roomy overlooking a nice, small garden. Everything was spotless and meticulously clean. We had a dog with us and the hosts were able to accommodate him upon request. The hosts were both very friendly. Our first night was greeted with a 20 Euro per-person menu dinner which had an abundance of food, all homemade and stemmed from their garden, and as much wine and limoncello you can drink. They offered a 5 Euro per-person/per-day breakfast each morning which was definitely of value. We were greeted with delicious organic products directly from their garden. When we requested to eat outside, both Mario and Anna had no problems accommodating us. They also have a laundry option, which, in the middle of our two week trip, was very convenient. Anna recommended a horse riding facility that was quite nice in the nearby town as Giuliana was not available during our stay.

Accueil tres sympathique..chambres agréables et tres propres..petit déjeuner copieux..le plaisir de la piscine avec une vue exceptionelle..pour nous qui randonnions a pied dans la Madonie ce fut un vrai moment de repos..pour les amateurs d'équitation et d'endurance equestre de quoi discuter de sa passion avec la fille de la maison, championne nationale...nous recommandons vraiment l'adresse car meme si la route ne passe pas loin, elle n'est pas du tout gênante..un bon point de départ pour randonner dans le sud du parc de la Madonie

We zijn zeer goed en vriendelijk ontvangen door de familie Dino. De locatie ligt in een prachtige omgeving en het zwembad is zeer aangenaam op warme dagen voor wat verkoeling. De moeder van Giuliana kan heerlijk koken en we hebben daar absoluut van genoten en van de vader van Giuliana kregen we bijna dagelijks verse peren bij het ontbijt. Een prachtige locatie in het midden van Sicilië waardoor je veel plaatsen kan bezoeken, absoluut een aanrader.

Cette charmante maison entourée d'arbre fruitiers (pour des confitures maison) est très agréable et l'accueil chaleureux. La table d'hôtes (20€ avec vin compris) est une bonne cuisine familiale, très copieuse et fait avec les produits frais du jardin ! Seul regret, être arrivée trop tard (et une journée trop venteuse) pour profiter de la piscine !
