Our villa in Castlebuono. 60 Euros a night got us bedroom and kitchen living room in this castle built in 1800 by Senor Levante s forebearers, descendants from the Spanish who ruled the island for 500 years until 1860 and Garibaldi.
Senor Levante maintains everything perfectly -- simplicity and beauty of stone courtyard, roses trained over archways, places to sit in the sun and shade and relax and write. We could read the Leopard, sicilian novel about just such a prince at the time of unification. stay here and then go to the beach at scopelo which is so different -- all sea shining at the foot of the mountains.
