The house of Marika is a great place to stay. It is not in the city of Calascibetta itself, but just outside in a small hamlet on a lower hill top. There is a very nice, quiet and relaxing rural atmosphere when you sit outside before the house or in the garden with sound of sheep, chicken, birds, dogs and a donkey now and then. From some points in the garden you have a nice view on the mountains and can even see the Etna if the sky is clear.
The house/apartment itself is on the ground floor and is very comfortable providing plenty of space and good privacy. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking yourself (if you don’t have an excellent pizza in the pizzeria in the centre of Calascibetta). Marika was very kind and helpful to bring us to her house and explained us everything we needed to know. She had taken care of providing everything for breakfast with lots of choice.
The location of the house makes a great 1,5 km walk up the old road (no traffic) to the city of Calascibetta with along the way magnificent views, on the city, the mountains and even Enna. Altogether an excellent place to stay for a few days and enjoy the mountains of this part of Sicily.
