Whether you take just one or both of the houses, you are always guaranteed exclusive use of the grounds, the pool and the private beach.

“Was amazing, especially the peace, the staff were unintrusive and helpful and the cook Gabriella was wonderful. Very clean and unpretentious... There was not another house in the vicinity, so we had total privacy. The sea view was mesmerizing and the sunsets made every evening memorable... A last minute booking turned out perfectly!” Willow Jeffries, Italy, June 2011

About the Property

Inside: both houses are on one floor, and contain a total of 6 bedrooms. The larger house has three bedrooms (two doubles and one twin), all with ensuite bathrooms, and a fourth bathroom for the living areas. It also has a kitchen and a large living and dining room with a series of French windows leading to the terraces and the pool. The smaller house has three bedrooms (a double, a twin and a bunk), and two bathrooms (one of which is ensuite with the double bedroom). The kitchen and a living room lead directly to a terrace with spectacular panoramic views.

Outside: the houses are arranged around a large courtyard which leads to the pool and a large, shaded outside dining area with outdoor kitchen and barbeque, enjoying spectacular views of the pool, the olive groves and the sea. Down below the house at the bottom of the driveway, about 500m away, a private road takes you on for another 200m under a couple of bridges and on to Le Sorbe's private pebble-stone beach - a rare thing indeed! There is a parking area and a little hut for changing and storing deckchairs and sea equipment. Behind the house, heading inland, a path takes you through the olive groves up to a little lake and a vantage point with views over the whole estate, the coastline and the mountains behind.

Think About

Take just the larger house for up to six people, or both houses for up to twelve: you are always guaranteed exclusive use of the grounds, the pool and the beach!

The extensive grounds of Le Sorbe are surrounded by several hectares of countryside/farmland, some of which is unfenced. We therefore recommend that younger children are supervised by an adult when exploring the grounds.


The Area

Exploring the local Area

Le Sorbe is on the northern flank of one of the most unspoilt parts of the Sicilian countryside, the Nebrodi Mountains. In this area you will find charming, uncommercialised villages with wonderful views and authentic shops and trattorie, and some fabulous walking country. The nearest towns to the house are Marina di Caronia and Acquedolci. Both offer a selection of authentic shops, restaurants and sea access. Further afield, Cefalù is a short drive along the motorway one way, and Capo d'Orlando the other, both of which have long sandy beaches.
