'Casa La Zagara' sits inmidst lovely Sicilian mountain village Forza d'Agrò high above the Ionian Sea. This previously dilapidated three storey building was thoroughly and carefully restored in 2008 and furnished with great love and detail. Dark wooden beams and warm terracotta floors with those precious Sicilian decor tiles preserve the building’s authentic flair. The views on the sea are breathtaking. ••• ADDITIONAL COSTS ••• Internet (optional): 15 EUR / 20 GB. On request we’ll activate internet access with the local ISP.

Enrica is a natural-born Italian and a lawyer in Frankfurt, Germany. However, she'd always rather been an architect, so it's no surprise that with our 'Casa La Zagara' she's already refurbished the second cottage in Forza d'Agrò with great detail and love. Jonas is the first son out of Enrica's second husband's first marriage. Has lived long years in Spain and thus forgotten all his Italian but never his love with Sicily. Works as a neurologist in Switzerland. Sometimes also Gunther (E.'s second husband and J.'s first father) or Daniel (E.'s first and G.'s second son) will pick up the phone.

Forza d'Agrò is an ideal base for excursions and trips to Taormina, Catania, Messina and Mt Etna. The Aeolian Islands and Syracuse are also easy to reach. Hikes start right at your doorstep. Beaches are less than 5kms away.
