Restored Olive Mill With Heated Pool

Casa Pergola is a once olive mill, lovingly restored farmhouse set in the beautiful Sicilian countryside. The house is a short drive to the beaches and coastal villages of the north coast. Vibrant Palermo "Italy's City of Culture for 2018" is 30 minutes away, and the Madonie Mountain hill cities are a short drive to the East. In winter there is skiing in the mountains and beautiful nights by the fire place which is massive and romantic. Some amenities include heated pool, and hand made shower mosaics in the bathrooms. The bedrooms are beautiful and comfortable.

Casa Pergola is a swimmers delight. A private 3.5 X 11 meter pool here at the house and beautiful beaches with ancient towers and seaside villages are a short distance away. We have a large barbecue area and outdoor dining is either under the olive trees, shade of the wisteria or on our dramatic roof terrace. Come and stay I guarantee you will be happy you did!

Spectacular Views and All the Comforts of Home
Casa Pergola is a a rare find: a beautiful comfortable home with sweeping views of a lake and mountains surrounded by olive groves, flowers and fruit trees. The outdoor space is incredible including a beautiful pool and outdoor fireplace and "family room ". The kitchen is great for cooking as well. Paul and David are fabulous hosts and feel like old friends and steered us the right way time and again including having Chef Bruno and Giovanni prepare a gourmet dinner. In all, a wonderful vacation you'll always cherish.

Exceeded my high expectations
We couldn’t be happier with our stay. The home is beautiful, charming and unique, the setting divine and the owner anticipated our every need and then some. Were it possible to give 10 stars, I’d give them in every category! Caccamo is well located to explore the whole island (but it is a shame to leave the home) and the owner, who speaks English and Italian, knows Sicily and its most beautiful spots and is happy to point you in the right direction. Our Caccamo stay was perfect- we are so very fortunate to have been there - and have left there relaxed, renewed and ready to enjoy wonderful memories of an extraordinary stay.

Close enough to everything but away from the crowds
15 minutes from the coast in the hills with fantastic 180 degrees views overlooking Lake Caccamo and surrounding valleys. The villa has 3 spacious bedrooms with ensuites and rustic kitchen, dining lounge area with aircon. There’s a great outside entertaining area around the pool. Caccamo town is close and worth visiting. Cefalu and Palermo are also just 30 minutes away.

The most amazing Home!!!
The property made our trip A+++. The Owners are super attentive, friendly, and love their guests. Bruno our driver/chef/guide became family. We were able to experience Olive oil pressing, 1k year old winery, Greek ruins, hot springs, amazing food and sights in Palermo & Cefalu. The Castle of Caccamo all within >2hr driving distance from the home. The Home is amazing you feel it is 300yrs old with modern amenities. The attention to detail is superb. We will absolutely be coming back.

Relaxation and enjoyment
We spent 14 Days, three married couples around 70 years, on Paul and David's beautiful property in a beautiful Mediterraneum garden and a wide view of the reservoir and an agricultural area. Paul and David were fantastic hosts who catered to our every need while being discreet and extremely friendly, treating us like good friends.The two live nearby and can be contacted at any time.They have helped ensure that the holiday will be unforgettable for all of us.

Exceptional villa, exceptional host.
Our stay at Casa Pergola was literally perfect. This was not only the best villa we ever stayed in, but also the best host we ever met. Paul and David were so welcoming and always made sure we had everything we need to make this stay special. Casa Pergola is tastefully furnished and full of beautiful details. You can see how much effort these guys put into it. And the view is absolutely stunning. We loved everything about this. And as if that wasn't enough we were blown away by an amazing dinner served by chef Bruno and Giovani. Absolute recommendation!

Outstanding property in a great, quiet setting
We had a great, relaxing week in Paul's fantastic property. The view is special, over the reservoir and the olive trees to the village of Caccamo. The equipment is exceptional, everything is available for ambitious hobby cooks. In addition to the washing machine and dishwasher, drinks were also prepared for us, there was everything you could think of, including homemade olive oil. The outdoor seating is extremely comfortable , the pool was a great way for our children to cool off. The communication with Paul was uncomplicated and direct, in the end even a forgotten T-shirt was brought to us all the way to Palermo. We can only recommend the accommodation to everyone, we will gladly come back!

Absolutely Amazing!!!
My family and I stayed here for a week over the summer, it was our final week of almost a month stay in Italy. As other reviews have stated this house was incredible! It had everything we needed, the most stunning views and literally was a work of art. As we arrived there were even rolled up towels on every chair by the pool like a resort. Also as mentioned the road getting there was rough, about 12 minutes off the main road to town. Make sure to have a decent car for a rocky dirt road, but trust me when you arrive you will be blown away! Paul & David were amazing hosts, gave us tons of info on the area, and even helped us carry in our bags. Their private chef recommendation is also an absolute must! I would go again and book Chef Bruno at least twice next time. It was the perfect place to end our trip. Highly recommend!

Most relaxing Christmas ever!
We had a wonderful stay at Paul and David’s amazing property! The house was very well equipped, and the kitchen was perfect for those who enjoy cooking! The beautiful fireplace and wood burning stove made sure our winter stay was cozy the whole time. They also took the time to make the décor festive for the holiday season. We truly felt like we were in more than just a vacation rental. The views cannot be more beautiful as you are surrounded by nature. Do a big shop before you arrive, and you can cook and relax in solitude. As hosts Paul and David are amazingly attentive and Chef Bruno prepares such an amazing evening dinner. They all offer great advice on what to do in the surrounding area; if you ever decide to leave the house that is. We cannot recommend this place enough. We wish we could have stayed longer and were genuinely sad to have to leave.

“Priceless time and unbelievable stay in this heaven on earth!!!”
We just returned from 2 weeks in Italy and I must say that Casa Pergola was our favorite place out of all our stays! Paul and David could not have been more welcoming and accommodating!!! They even arranged for a lovely woman, Stefania, to accompany us to visit my great grandfather's town, Mezzojuso where she translated and navigated for us. The house and setting is unbelievable, our pictures do not do this rental justice. The home is beautifully decorated, all amenities are present and it was truly heaven to wake up to every morning. I have been a reviewer on Tripadvisor for many years, five star resorts and exceptional accommodations and I don't think I have ever stayed in such a memorable place with such wonderful hosts. They truly serve their guests while providing privacy and information when needed. We are already planning to book for next year and feel we have made new friends for a lifetime! Molto Grazie, Paul and David!!!

The most beautiful and wonderful place to stay
I would give this place 20Stars if possible! Casa Pergola is more beautiful in person the pictures do not do it justice. The beds are amazingly comfortable. I never sleep when I’m away and I slept till 11:00! We ventured out and visited areas around Sicily but our favorite place was the house. We had fires poolside at night and ate outside often. Paul and David were incredible hosts and went above and beyond what would be expected! They get 100 stars! The are both wonderful, kind, smart, funny and just two of the loveliest people you will ever meet. Dinners with Chef Bruno were the BEST food we had during our 15 days in Italy ! Once you arrive you feel welcome and at home. My soul breathed a sigh of relief just entering the house. The good news is that you will not regret renting Casa Pergola for your vacation in Sicily. The bad news is every other place you rent after staying in the beautiful home will be a disappointment. We loved our time there. I cried when I had to leave. I’ve never done that on any vacation.

Lovely place, lovely people
If you are reading this review after booking, keep reading. If you haven’t booked, stop reading, book this Villa, then come back to carry on reading. Like a couple of previous reviewers I secretly want to tell you to book somewhere else so Paul and David’s beautiful property is more likely to be free in the future. We’ve rented villas around Europe for many years, some basic, some good, some very good. None have been like this. Casa Pergola is stunning. Not just because of the view of the lake and mountains, the large terrace and pool or the fact Paul and David have created a stylish yet comfortable home. It isn’t even the little cupboard items that you normally have to go straight out and buy with a hired villa but are already provided here. All of those things added up really do make this a wonderful place to stay but it’s the warm welcome and care from Paul and David that set this visit so far ahead of others. The villa is down a stone track, I hired a Compact and it was fine (including at night) and Paul came to meet us at the road to guide us in after the clear instructions got us to the meeting point. He also brought over some food and wine over the first couple of days so we didn’t need to do a big shop. On our first night Bruno and Giovanni created a fantastic dining experience (so good we booked them twice more.) The food is wonderful, and it is great value for the courses and care they put into it. They are also charming and so welcoming. The villa has good aircon, a great terrace and the pictures do not do the views justice. Thoroughly recommended and the easiest five stars I’ve ever given

Paradise
I would sorely love not to review Paul's and David's heavenly house with its divine views, beautiful and comfortable interiors, fantastic gardens, gorgeous pool, and wonderful owners, in order to selfishly try to keep it a secret... but not only would that defeat the purpose by putting P and D out of business, but previous reviewers have already spilled the beans. There were six of us and every one of us fell in love with the place, which deserves a lot more than 5 stars, not only because of its exceptional location, which makes one feel that one is surveying an entire benevolent, bucolic universe, but because its owners have imbued it with their own acute sense of beauty and their great humanity and generosity. I share the sentiments of the previous guests who said that they have stayed in many beautiful places, but none quite like this. It is luxurious and simple all at once, providing great comfort and utter beauty. One can spend the entire day watching the light change over the mountains, listening to the sheep bells, and birds, and the coocoo rooster at the farm down the road who thinks it's dawn every five minutes, sipping wine, dipping bread in Paul and David's olive oil, smelling the flowers... Do I sound nostalgic? We had some mediocre weather during part of our stay, but it didn't matter. We had a blast talking to Paul and David and a friend of theirs who was visiting. As already stated, they are extremely helpful - Paul is literally on call, answering every question promptly, bringing goodies, sharing stories --- we had such great laughs and really miss them. We also miss dear Gero (a four-legged purrer whose presence, I should add, is entirely optional - we loved him). I could go on, but really - the place is extraordinary, and our stay was perfect, except for one major flaw: it ended. Thank you Paul and David, for sharing your paradiso - we have lots of pictures, and everyone who sees them wants to come with us next time! Ciao till later and hugs from Nina, Bonny, JC, Flavia, Jeremy, and Sabina

All things considered, not perfect but still great.
My wife and I stayed a week and really enjoyed the property. The outdoor spaces in particular are awesome. Spacious, varied, shaded, sun, views from everywhere, lovely garden and plantings. The house itself is well done and equipped, cozy but kind of small. I would recommend putting screen doors (yes I know they don't exist in Europe) on the doors so you can get fresh air without leaving them wide open to the creatures and insects. Lastly, the roads leading to the house are pretty rough, and an SUV with a little extra clearance would be wise. The roads also add time to wherever you want to go. Just remember, you are not walking to town, and it is 15 minutes to drive to any town, so if you like convenience over privacy, this may not be the one for you. But it really is a great spot, and definitely have Bruno cook you dinner. Worth every Euro.

Our relaxing accommodation for 10 days in Sicily was nothing short than a piece of paradise. Accommodation beautifully renovated with decor that complimented the old style olive mill. Beds exceptionally comfortable! Surrounding gardens a delight to explore. However, our hosts were beyond super! In fact they became like family always there when we needed them while also allowing for privacy. They helped our trip become unforgettable.

Paul was extremely helpful , making suggestions where to go, how to get places even making reservations. We could not have chosen a more wonderful place.

A Remarkable Place
We spent a week at Casa Pergola with our two teenagers and had the most wonderful time! We arrived to Paul and David helping us with our luggage and walking us through the amenities of the beautiful home and expansive garden and pool. The views are absolutely breathtaking and you immediately feel that you’ve escaped to somewhere very, very special. As hosts, Paul and David leave nothing to be desired…the house is extremely well-stocked with all that you need, including wine and coffee. They also helped us book reservations at wonderful local restaurants as well as offered insightful advice for excursions. If there was any small thing we needed, they were prompt to respond. Truly exceptional hosts! Also, we followed others’ advice and booked two nights of dinner by Bruno and Giovanni. If you enjoy gourmet dining, THIS IS A MUST DO! The food and presentation are five-star, knock-your-socks-off caliber, not to mention they are both delightful to talk to. Overall, staying at Casa Pergola imprinted on our family in a big way. We will be back, for sure!

An Oasis
The pictures of this property are amazing and I promise it is even better in person. You cannot turn a corner without seeing something created with artistry and beauty, whether it’s the gardens or some small detail in the house. It was a gorgeous space to hang out with our teens. Each day we took a small sojourn to Cefalù or Caccamo or Trabia. We all agreed the best part was hanging out at the house, listening to the sheep bells and playing cards. We had Bruno cook once, and if we do it again, I’d have him come every night! Further, Paul and David are wonderful hosts: meeting us after an extremely delayed flight, helping me get medical help for a wasp sting, picking up lost luggage…This is a house for deep settling and restoration. My kids didn’t even want music by the pool because they wanted to hear the bells and the trees and the birds. Go, read Sicilian novels by the pool, eat wonderful food and delight!

Spectacular Casa Pergola
We had a wonderful time at Casa Pergola. The place is so much more than the beautiful pictures in the listing. It has to be experienced in person. One of the standout features of this villa is its outdoor spaces. A large swimming pool overlooking the countryside, well-manicured gardens, and multiple terraces provide ample opportunities for relaxation and outdoor dining. Overall, this spectacular villa near Caccamo, Sicily, is a perfect choice for those seeking a luxurious retreat in a stunning setting. Whether you're looking to unwind by the pool, explore the nearby towns, or simply soak in the beauty of the Sicilian countryside, this villa offers an unforgettable experience. The hosts of the villa were so generous with their time, their warm hospitality and attention to detail, making guests feel welcomed and pampered throughout their stay.
