Self Catering Apartments Fontana Calda
Sciacca, Italy

Our holiday domicile FONTANA CALDA is situated at the bottom of SAN CALOGERO mountain, which is very famous all over the world due to its natural vapour bath grottoes, good for rheumatism and neuralgia therapy. Our estate is about 4 km from the town centre of Sciacca and also from the sea, situated in a rural and very peaceful idyll of about 30.000 square meters in the middle of a grove of olive-trees. In our large villa, we live in the ground floor: my husband Massimo, Sicilian (a very simpatico one), our son David, 1/3 German + 2/3 Sicilian (that's what he says) and last but non least me, Doris, German (who is living here in Sicily for more than 10 years). Part of our family is also Ciro, our three year old dog and our two cats, Chip & Chop.
The four brand new (June 2004), nice and cosy apartments are situated on the first floor (mansard). All units are fully equipped with TV, Hi-Fi, fridge, heating, air condition, bed sheets, towels, blankets etc.. All our guests can use the washing machine, the flat iron and board, and our internet to check or send emails. Free parking. The CASA FONTANA CALDA is the perfect place for a relaxing holiday, if you love the uncontaminated nature and if you don't want to miss the closeness of the sea. You will have a most impressive panoramic view. We are looking forward to our guests who prefer to live individually and to enjoy nevertheless a certain comfort.
