Sperlinga is a paradise that you never want to leave. Undoubtedly the best place we have stayed in our 10 years of traveling! You will love this place with it’s magical charm of pure history and stunning architecture of the Sperlinga estate, surrounded by 46 hectares of olive and citrus groves!
From the moment you arrive down the long driveway until you see the impressive medieval tower and into the courtyard you will have no idea what lies behind the big wooden doors. Just make your way to the large terrace, down three steps and soak in that view along the sparkling bay past Casteldaccia, Termini Immerse and on-a clear day all the way to Cefalù, you will never tire of this view, and I promise it will draw you in everyday.
Pick the oranges from the trees by the terrace and make your morning juice or lemons for G&T.
Thank you Filippo for being a most generous and hospitable host. Thank you for the wine, fresh oranges, lemons and mandarins. The well stocked pantry with everything you could possibly need to prepare your own meals, and your amazing olive oil. We often sat outside on the lovely terrace, it had sun all day, for breakfast or lunch and marvelled at the view The pellet stove made our kitchen seating area so cozy. The king bed was very comfortable and what a bonus to have two bathrooms. Filippo was so kind in driving us around in Santa Flavia and Bagheria to explain where the best bread, best fish and grocery store was. It was a absolute delight to meet both Filippo and his wife Ornella who were so enthusiastic and shared their architectural knowledge about the great history of Palermo.
We cannot thank you enough for our wonderful month in Sperlinga.
