Unbelievably Relaxing Mountain Hideaway
Casale Gelati was not that easy to find, but we got part way there and called our host Enrico lo Bianco who came and found us in minutes to shepherd us in to what is an unbelievably beautiful, quiet hidden gem of a house. Casale Gelati is off the beaten track in that it is in the hills behind Sciacca at the end of a narrow road that takes you through olive and almond groves. The view from the house is nothing short of breath taking and Enrico himself is a hidden gem. A font of all knowledge Sicilian and many other matters.
The two bedroom apartment was clean, extremely comfortable and well equipped, although in that respect, I probably need to come clean and say that the kitchen remained relatively unused during our stay because our host, Enrico, is a superb chef and he prepared a wonderful meal for us each evening using local produce and his deep and abiding knowledge of traditional Sicilian dishes which were nothing short of stunning. Needless to say that we thoroughly enjoyed them with the selection of wine provided and we did not trouble the gas hob in our apartment all week other than to boil water for coffee and tea! He also catered for my wife, a vegetarian.
Whilst the large bathroom and sitting area were appreciated, it was the terrace and the views it offered that captivated us.
There are many local restaurants in Sciacca, about 15 minutes away and one even closer (5 minutes), but it seemed utterly pointless to use them in view of the quality of Enrico’s culinary talents, conversation and knowledge.
