We loved our stay at Carrubella! Sarah is a great host, had a lot of great recommendations and was always there to help.
The yurts are very comfortable and furnished with a lot of details. At night you can see the sky full of stars because there are so few lights around. A perfect getaway if you want to relax apart from the city (especially for two)!
One little remark: While the nights are quite chilled (so it‘s a nice temperature within the yurts) you might not stay in the yurts much longer than 9.00 as sunlight will heat them up quite quickly (at least in mid-July when we have been there).
Though the kitchen area and baths are shared they have always been very tidy as Sarah is cleaning everything every morning.
Just a few minutes walking you will find the most sincere and hospitable „restaurants“ of Eva and Pippo who have a farm there with various of animals including many cats and a dog that will even walk you home safely :) The food supposedly is the nearest you can get to authentic Italian food made by real Italian mothers or grandmothers. Everything is home-grown, fresh and tastes uniquely. We have been there thrice in total and always had other tasteful things (and never paid more than 40 Euro for two people including a plate of Antipasti, two main dishes, dessert as well as lots of wine and self-made limoncello). After the second time Pippo called us ‚Amici da casa‘ (friends of the house), after the third time he gave us lots of fruits as a present so we could eat them on our way back to Palermo.
We absolutely recommend going there and maybe even buy self-made Caponata, tomato sauce or other things. Pippo is the best!
We would recommend a car, though, as it is so rural that you need one to discover all the beautiful beaches on the east- and south-east-cost. If you just want to go swimming in the natural lakes of Cavagrande (be prepared for an intense hike down and up small stone stairs) you will be fine, though. Sarah might also pick you up from the train station or drop you off there.
All in all we loved our stay there as it was very rural, still absolutely comfortable and chilled. We will definitely be back!
