About Our Holiday Rental

Our guest house is a welcoming space for travellers to relax and explore the beautiful areas of South East of Sicily.

The house name of Casa Picaro comes from the valley "Cava Picaro", which you can enjoy the views of from the house and then onto the Mediterranean Sea in the distance.

We love the fact that we are deep in the wild nature and dramatic beauty of the surroundings. It’s so peaceful and quiet away from the hustle bustle of the towns and cities. But these fascinating towns are only a short drive away. You can sit in a bar or restaurant people watching and soaking up the busy atmosphere of the stunning historical centres or enjoy the beaches along the breath-taking Mediterranean coastline. 

Local towns include Noto, Avola, Siracusa and Ortigia, Modica, Ragusa, Marzamemi and Palazzolo Acreide amongst others . A little further afield you can travel to Catania, Taormina and of course Mount Etna. 

Sicily has a rich and unique culture waiting for you to discover
