La Casina del Forno rises on the gentle slope of the Ciricò hill, immersed in an enchanting Italian garden, where nature expresses itself with lush plants, colorful flowers, and a romantic pond populated with water lilies and koi carp. This refuge offers an atmosphere of peace and tranquility, perfect for those wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, while still being a short distance from Catania, easily reachable in fifteen minutes.
The garden is a true paradise for nature lovers and food enthusiasts. It features an organic orchard that, depending on the seasons, offers delicious delights such as oranges and lemons in winter and peaches, plums, and apricots in summer. Guests can refresh themselves in the beautiful seasonal pool, open from April to October, while the barbecue area, available year-round, invites convivial outdoor barbecues under the pergola adorned with fine grapes. The view from the terraces of Casina is breathtaking: it stretches from the Iblei mountains to the lake of Lentini, from the imposing Etna to the Catania plain, all the way to the sparkling blue sea.
Thanks to its strategic location, the facility is an excellent starting point to explore the wonders of Eastern Sicily. In less than an hour you can visit renowned locations such as Taormina, Piazza Armerina, Ragusa, and Syracuse, as well as the Etna Park and the Val di Noto, famous for their natural beauty and rich cultural history. There are also charming beaches in the area, such as Agnone Bagni, the romantic Marzamemi, and Brucoli, with its characteristic establishments overlooking the sea.
