Farm-house Case Perrotta (Sant'Alfio)

Description Case Perrotta

If we were to draw an imaginary line from the top of Mount Etna to city of Taormina, then halfway down we would come across the ‘CASE PERROTTA’ farm holiday centre. Our accommodation is provided in comfortably furnished en-suite rooms made out of the old farm buildings, where you can spend peaceful days and relaxing holidays. Our restaurant serves fresh and authentic Sicilian food. Its central position allows you to easily visit all beauties of EasteSicily. Experience the different lights, colours, scents, flavours, and whirling emotions – it is like diving into nature headfirst; a breath of fresh air in some of Sicily’s most striking views.

Description rooms

Our rooms are situated in two separate units close to each other: the old country house, which was the beginnings of the friary, and the palmento (the building once used for treading the grapes). Today they contain ten comfortable en suite rooms for 25 total beds. All the rooms are furnished in the same way, yet in a style matching the two very different types of building: a traditional house and a very rural structure.
They are fully equipped with all mod cons, have large comfortable beds, an en suite bathroom with a bath or shower, a hairdryer, courtesy basket, mini bar, TV, safe and free WIFI connection.

Services Farm-house

Case Perrotta is in a rather privileged location, being both ‘off the beaten track’ but easy to get to.
It is far enough away from the main towns to not have been affected by recent savage urban expansion. In fact the uncontaminated natural surroundings, the colours and scents of the countryside, and the sweeping views, make it an ideal destination for holidays or relaxation.
You can enjoy and make use of the wide, open spaces or walk along the estate’s paths, whatever the season. You can observe our fruit production and leaabout our seasonal care and cultivation.
Reception is in the ex Chiesa del Convento (former Convent Church) and is open from 9.00 to 13.00 and from 16.30 to 20.30. You can rely on a real Sicilian traditional welcome there and find information and suggestions on how best to make use of your stay. We also offer the tourist cultural, artistic and recreational ideas. We organised excursions, painting/photography activities and culinary workshops.

restaurant Farm-house Case Perrotta

The restaurant at CASE PERROTTA offers regional cooking typically found in the territory of Mount Etna.
You will be invited to choose from many first courses. Our soups, fresh pasta and stuffed pasta dishes, our risottos, and gnocchi stand out, along with many surprises. If you like, you can ask for three. These deliciously fragrant local dishes are served in ‘lemmi’ (basins) or ‘fangotti’ (large oval dishes) from Caltagirone. These will be followed by our mixed grills of meat or vegetables, roast or stewed meats served in traditional ‘canali’ (roof tiles), which will allow you to discover and appreciate the ancient gastronomic architecture devised by our chef’s skillful hands.
Our menus are devised using basic ingredients that mainly come from Sicily and from our own Organic Farm. In this way we wish to guarantee the ‘typicality’ and ‘quality’ of cooking based on traditional flavours, a respect for the seasons, and those culinary traditions linked to annual festivals. At CASE PERROTTA it is always possible to choose a Vegetarian Menu, from the hors d’oeuvres to dessert, created in the same way as mentioned above.
We guarantee the same quality and characteristics of its menu for those who are coeliacs or suffer from other food intolerances.

Breakfast

Our package includes a varied and tasty Mediterranean-style breakfast with typical products mostly from our orchard or vegetable garden and served, depending on the weather, either in The Fireplace Room or in The ‘Fico’ Courtyard.
For those who would like a different kind of breakfast or one with particular foods, this can be requested beforehand at the time of booking or the day before.
