“Il Casale
delle Rose” is a farm with more than 10 ha, situated in a wide valley,
in the warm and quiet countryside of Caltagirone.
It is surrounded by the greenery of the growing (orange and olive trees,
vineyards) and offers a typical Sicilian cookery exclusively made by
local and genuine products.
Among the typical dishes: “I Cavati del Casale” with homemade pasta,
pistachios and almonds, the little pig whole and stuffed, the tastiest
“Cassatelle di ricotta” as typical sweet in Caltagirone.
The building has been restored by respecting the original architecture (typical
Sicilian Baglio that was a typical building in Sicily at the end of
‘800).
It offers 9 rooms, all with bathroom with shower, one spacious dining
room and two smaller rooms as restaurants and meeting rooms.
Only 2 Km far from the inhabited centre, it proposes an exclusive
typical and local cookery, made by genuine products from the farm
growing (biological growing according to the European regulation).
It produces vegetables, oil, wine, fruits, marmalades, cheeses and
ricotta.
The place for restaurants, with the classical floor in Sicilian
earthenware, has a part which has preserved the symbol of its ancient
destination as the cowshed with the original “mangiatoia” (in which
animals ate).
Moreover it has heating and air conditioning.
The “Baglio” (the central part) has been restored by using traditional
materials (local stones); in the centre there is a fountain and water
comes out from the mouth of two lions made up of earthenware. |
