Sampieri and the zone

25 meters from the sea there is a typical house, once inhabited by fishermen, completely renovated. Starting point for visiting the Baroque Valley.

The owner, a Sicilian watercolourist, took care of the restoration respecting the period features and using the local stone of Comiso, the Sicilian terracotta and ancient ceramics of Caltagirone.

The house is located in the historic center of Sampieri, a few meters from the sea (accessible and suitable for swimming), on the road parallel to the seafront. And the background is a pine forest, the typical Mediterranean scrub, a suggestive cliff and a beautiful bay with a beach (about 2 km long) of fine sand and very rare dunes dominated by the ancient furnace of Pisciotto, set of film and television productions.

Casa d’Artista consists of three independent apartments, which can be connected: Casazzurra (from 2 to 5 beds), Casa del pescatore (from 2 to 5 beds) and Casa di pietra (from 2 to 4 beds). Guests are welcomed in rooms furnished with care and equipped with every comfort.

A short distance from the house there are shops, bars, restaurants, supermarkets, a newsagent, an ATM, a hairdresser, a barber, bathing establishments, discos, spas, sports fields. At the marina, a few meters away, it is possible, in the morning, to buy freshly caught fish.

In addition, every Thursday, during the summer months, you can buy fresh local products at the outdoor food market.

The slightly recessed position with respect to the seafront allows you not to hear the music of the discos at night. To those who ask if there is a sea view, we reply: “You can’t see the sea, but you can hear it”.
