Essential Italy

Il Casello is located in the grounds of the Country House Mandranova – you have all the benefits of self-catering accommodation plus all the services of a wonderful family run hotel. What could be better?

Approximately 100 metres from the main house, Il Casello is a large independent house. It is surrounded by large terraces and gardens. Entry is into a corridor, to the right there is a large well equipped kitchen with large dining table, to the left there is a large comfortable living room with open fireplace. There is small utility room and bathroom also on the ground floor.

On the first floor there are two large double bedrooms, both with ensuite bathrooms with showers. Both bedrooms also have single sofa beds.

Throughout the house the decor is simple, contemporary and in keeping with the style of the hotel nearby. Most of your time at the house will be spent on the huge terrace to the rear of the house – it is covered and cool. About 50 metres from the house is the pool. It is shared with the guests of the hotel and is raised slightly to give views towards the coastline.

In the evening the temptation will be to leave the pots and pans in the cupboard and wander over to the restaurant where Silvia prepares wonderful local dishes (€30 per person excluding drinks). If you really want to relax you can also have breakfast and a light lunch at the hotel (these extras are to be paid directly to the owners). Why not take their boat out for a day – skipper and lunch included for €400, a fantastic day out.

Il Casello provides a good quality of accommodation and excellent outdoor spaces for a family of two couples wanting a base from where to explore the region of Agrigento.
