Very nice location, nature & landlord

If you like hiking in the mountains, this is the perfect location to stay. The landlord Anne takes great care of their guests and the house. Strongly recommended.

Ruhe und Natur pur in den sizilianischen Bergen

Wer Ruhe sucht, ist hier bestens aufgehoben. Das ursprüngliche Häuschen ist liebevoll, hochwertig und mit viel Liebe zum Detail restauriert und ausgestattet: vom Bettzeug bis zu den Bildern an der Wand. Alles ist toll durchdacht und es fehlt einem an nichts: sowohl Spülmaschine als auch ausreichend Küchenutensilien. Die Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern über WhatsApp hat bestens funktioniert, wir fühlten uns gut aufgehoben und willkommen. Ein Mietwagen ist unabdingbar und der Weg von der Straße zum Häuschen abenteuerlich - aber man gewöhnt sich sehr schnell an die besonderen Straßenverhältnisse. Die Bergdörfer sind wunderschön und die Umgebung lädt zum wandern ein. Nach Palermo ist der Ort perfekt zum Erholen. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Ein unvergesslicher Aufenthalt in La Gisamìa

Wir verweilten 9 wunderbare Tage an diesem besonderen Ort im Mandelbaumhäuschen und wir haben uns vom ersten Tag dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Fotos übermitteln einen guten Eindruck der Unterkünfte und Umgebung, die Realität ist jedoch noch viel beindruckender. Die Einrichtung ist authentisch, mit schönen persönlichen Accessoire. Viel Freude hatten wir auch an dem verschmusten Hunde-Trio und der Katzen-Gang, welche auch auf diesem großen Areal, sehr friedlich miteinander leben dürfen. Vielen lieben Dank, dass wir für eine Weilchen ein Teil davon sein konnten. Peter und Caroline

Wildromantisches Haus

Wir haben eine tolle Zeit in diesem magischen Ort verbracht. Man konnte sich gar nicht entscheiden, ob man lieber im gemütlichen Haus liest, die Sonne im weitläufigen Garten genießt oder doch einen Ausflug in die charmante Umgebung macht. Das Haus ist toll ausgestattet und auch der Check-in lief komplett reibungslos. Ich war am Ende so schusselig, ein paar Sachen im Haus zu vergessen, worauf Anne und Ferdinando sehr flexibel und unheimlich nett reagiert haben. Rundum sehr zu empfehlen :)

La Gisamia

If you are looking for a relaxing and peaceful holiday surrounded by nature, La Gisamia is the perfect place to stay. Each of Ferdinando and Anne's cottages have their own private space away from the other buildings, so there is no danger of being disturbed. Although Ferdinando was away when we visited, he was still the perfect host: helpful, reliable, relaxed, personable and excellent at communicating. We understood his English perfectly. He was more than happy to answer any questions we had via WhatsApp / email and sent us clear directions on how to get to the property. He advised us where we could buy food locally or eat out if we wished. Ferdinando also recommended hikes and places of interest based on his understanding of our own interests and hobbies (in our case history and walking). Ferdinando's property manager, Massimo, was friendly, helpful and welcoming when we arrived and made sure that we had everything we needed, including internet (if required) for a small fee. The House of the Pear Tree contained both a heater and a wood stove. There was plenty of wood available, so we were comfortable and warm during the cold nights. The kitchen was adequately equipped and there was plenty of space for clothing in the bedroom drawers, as well as a clothes rail and shoe rack. We very much enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return for another holiday at a future date.

En sand perle i naturen

En sand perle i naturen, hvor der kun er godt at sige om beliggenhed og udlejers hjælpsomhed. Vi var gæster i midt december, og selvom huset ikke er stort, er det i vintertiden med regn og rusk kun netop muligt at opretholde en indendørs temperatur - men vi nød hvert minut. Vi vil glæde os til at vende tilbage i forårsmånederne, når det kan passes ind i vores planer. Tak til Ferdinando for hyppig kontakt.

Oase der Ruhe in schönster Natur

Wir haben uns in dem Häuschen ausgesprochen wohl gefühlt, angefangen vom herzlichen Empfang von Ferdinando, dem kulinarischen Willkommensgruß, der auf kleinstem Raum liebevoll praktischen Einrichtung - etwas irreführend "Schlafzimmer"; wir waren von einem separaten Schlafraum ausgegangen. Und wenn es drei Tage regnet wie es bei uns leider der Fall war und man sich überwiegend drinnen aufhalten muss, ist es doch etwas beengt... Das phantastisch schöne Naturgrundstück mit Aussicht konnten wir deshalb leider nicht so intensiv nutzen wie wir es uns gewünscht hätten. Die Landschaft der Madonie ist traumhaft schön und Gisamia als Ausgangspunkt zur Erkundung derselben für naturliebende und Ruhe suchende Menschen perfekt!

2200 kilomètres en sicile

Gite sympathique et tranquille en pleine nature. Idéal pour ceux qui aiment se promener les soir. Il manque tout de même un cafetière électrique, ce qui est indispensable pour nous les français. Le chemin d'accès nécessiterait quelques aménagements afin d'être rendu plus carrossable, c'était un peu rude pour la petite Fiat Panda de location.

truly beautiful escape

My girlfriend and I stayed 4 nights at the House of the Pomegranates which is the smaller of the two properties. It's a beautifully restored stone cottage that is essentially one room with a small kitchen area, a table to eat at, a pullout sofa that is also your bed and bathroom with a nice shower. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need, and we cooked several meals at home, taking advantage of the fresh herbs in the garden and wild fennel that grows everywhere. The property is perfect for relaxing, with lots of spots to sit with a coffee, read, write, think. After a week of hot weather and road-tripping around the western and southern coast of Sicily, this was a perfect respite. Breezy mountain air, sunny days and cool nights, quiet, cozy, and extremely peaceful. It's well situated for exploring the Madonie region, with plenty of nearby hikes, scenic drives, and beautiful mountain villages to explore. Ferdinando was an exceptional host. We were welcomed by a basket of fruit and snacks, and a detailed list of recommendations for hikes, outings, and restaurants. He went above and beyond to accommodate all our questions and was always very quick to respond and easy to communicate with. We would highly recommend this spot to anyone! Make sure you look at the photos specifically in the listing since they show both properties, and one is larger and one is smaller.

If you want a secluded space in the Madonie Mountains and your party consists of no more than 2, then this is it. Secluded and yet really close to Petralia (and the parc entrance) or to other fine places such as Castelbuono. You have your own gate and drive way and an impressive garden. The house is small but tasty and comfortable, despite the foldable bed. Reinier

Wundervoller Urlaub. Tolles Haus, tolle Landschaft und super netter Vermieter.

Das super schön ausgestattete Haus liegt abgeschieden in den Bergen. Man ist direkt in der Natur. Absolut ungestört, nur zwei Pferde, Füchse und andere Bewohner der Berge sind zu sehen. Man kann sich dort wirklich entspannen und muss trotzdem auf nichts verzichten. Alles ist schön, sauber und geschmackvoll. Was man wirklich braucht ist ein Auto, ohne ist es glaube ich nicht möglich dort hinzukommen und vor allem nicht möglich die verschiedenen Ecken dieser Region Siziliens kennenzulernen. Der Vermieter ist super nett und hilfsbereit. Es hat ein Haus in der Nähe, ist aber nicht immer dort. Jedoch jeder Zeit per Telefon zu erreichen. Wir hatten (Ende Juli, Anfang August) traumhaftes Wetter. Kurz um, ein perfekter Urlaub. Danke.

we were unable to stay but know we would have loved being there

I am sure that we would have very much loved the house if we had been able to stay there. However, we had to abandon the holiday for personal reasons. Ferdinando gave us very good information and was very understanding about our reasons for not being able to be there. We do hope to be able to stay in the house in the future and from what we know, about the house and the owner would have no hesitation about recommending it as a very good place to stay.

To recommend without limitations

Gisamia is just a wonderful place to stay, peaceful and charming, embedded in a breathtaking landscape. The owner is very helpful and concerned, the house has been furnished with great tastefulness, it has been provided with everything useful. A beautiful place to dip in a different world, we would have liked to stay longer.

Spent a lovely week here walking in the Madonie mountains. Bright weather, snow patches in places, spring flowers and a kind welcome from Ferdinando who showed us to the house when we arrived at midnight after a late flight. A comfortable house in a beautiful, quiet setting making it very easy to relax from day one. Lots of helpful suggestions for walks and almost nobody around. Fabulous.

An amazing spot in a beautiful place

The cabin, the nature, the close by civilization, it was all increadible. I could not more whole-heartedly recommend this "property". This is an ideal location if you enjoy hiking which Ferdinando can really help you out with. Also if you want to just enjoy existing for a while. The only thing I really missed was some cast iron skillets :)

Small Paradise

The location of Gisamìa is very nice for lovers of nature and quietness.The cottage is small but has everything you need and is nicely decorated. It's surrounded by a big and beautiful garden. Ferdinando was extremely helpful and gave us many recommendations on hikes and trips to enjoy the area. We visited Madonie in March, on higher altitudes there was still snow, which made it possible to go skiing. The nights were cold, but the woodstove in the cottage kept us warm. We would certainly recommend this place.

Un petit coin de paradis au bout du chemin...

... c'est ce que nous avons trouvé dans cette petite maison, décorée avec beaucoup de goût et propre. Un panier avec des produits locaux (dont de délicieuses confitures faites par Marina, la femme de Ferdinando) nous y attendait. Nous y avons logé confortablement avec nos trois enfants, ravis de pouvoir jouer dans le jardin et se balancer dans le hamac. Ravis aussi d'avoir fait la connaissance de Rosa, le cheval de Ferdinando, et d'avoir pu le monter. Très accueillant et disponible, Ferdinando nous a donné plein de conseils sur les activités à faire dans la région: balades, visites de jolis villages, excursion d'un jour à Cefalù, ... Bref, un petit coin de paradis dans lequel nous retournerions demain!

Ein ganz besonderer Ort

Wir waren 3 Wochen in Gisa. Das Haus ist liebevoll restauriert und eingerichtet. Die Ruhe hier ist unbeschreiblich. Nur das Zwitschern der Vögel und das Läuten der Glöckchen der Schafe, wenn sie in der Nähe sind. Abend kommt der Fuchs und Rosa, Ferdinandos außergewöhnliches Pferd, war unser Nachbar. Ferdinando und seine Frau Marina, sind ganz besondere Menschen, voller Liebe zu ihrem Land und zur Natur. wir sind schweren Herzens wieder abgereist. Danke für diese schöne Zeit

Ein traumhafter Ort

Wir waren 3 Wochen in Gisa. Das liebevoll restaurierte Haus, die Ruhe, die dort herrscht, unbeschreiblich schön. Nur Vogelzwitschern und in der Ferne manchmal das Läuten der Glöckchen der Schafe. Morgens der Geruch des Ginsters, der überall auf den Berghängen blüht. Im Wald suchten wir wilden Spargel. Abend kam ein Fuchs. Unser Nachbar war Rosa, ein ganz liebes Pferd. Ferdinando und seine Frau Marina sind besondere Menschen, voller Liebe zu ihrem Land und zur Natur. Die Menschen hier sind alle sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir waren hier zu Hause und sind schweren Herzens wieder abgereist.

Quiet and Peaceful Rural Retreat

A charming cottage in the mountains, surrounded by woodland and orchards - a great place to see the local birds and flowers. We stayed in the Pear Tree House which is ideal for a couple or small family. Ferdinando provided a warm and helpful welcome and was always pleased to offer his help and assistance. I would recommend this property to those looking for a quiet and relaxed holiday in the Sicilian Mountains.

A delightful cottage in a beautiful location.

We were met by Massimo and shown to the cottage. He had lit the fire and it was delightfully warm. What a friendly welcome. That you Massimo. The location and ambience exceeded expectations. Such a peaceful and relaxing location. We enjoyed exploring the grounds on our rest days. The walking notes left by Ferdinando were excellent and provided many options to explore the region. We will treasure our memories of the area of the friendly locals we met and the hospitality shown by Ferdinando and his family.

rilassante e confortevole

Petralia Sottana, casa vacanza 6696209. La casa e' esattamente quello che ci si aspetta..immersa nel bosco, isolata dal paese, ma allo stesso tempo ben posizionata. Il proprietario e' un amante della natura e del recupero delle tradizioni Un posto incantevole per rilassarsi e godere del paesaggio. Dalla finestra si vede un piccolo presepe iilluminato che e' proprio il paese..aspettare la sera e le luci che si accendono e' fantastico. Inoltre e' una casa fornita di tutto. Consigliamo vivamente di andare, noi torneremo di sicuro Ancora grazie!

... with a large garden and a good sight to Petralia Sottana. Mr. Ferdinando Mazzarella and his wife are very friendly and they are always helpful. Around the area you have a lot opportunities for hiking and walking to nice summits up to 1850m. We can absolutely recommend Sicily, Petralia, this nice house "La Gisamìa" and the garden.
