Description
The Casina del Forno is situated in a prime location atop the Ciricò hill, surrounded by a charming Italian garden filled with plants, flowers, and a romantic pond featuring water lilies and koi carp. It serves as the perfect retreat for those seeking peace and relaxation while remaining just minutes away from the main roads that lead to the vibrant nightlife of Catania, which is only a 15-minute drive away. The Casina del Forno skillfully combines wellness and enjoyment, making it an ideal destination for both families and couples.
In addition to its beauty, the garden boasts an organic orchard from which guests can enjoy fresh fruits according to the season, such as oranges and lemons in winter, and peaches, plums, and apricots in summer. A lovely seasonal pool, open from April to October, along with a spacious barbecue area available year-round, enhances the overall experience. Next to the property, there is a cozy relaxation area under a pergola adorned with fine grapes, perfect for savoring peaceful moments.
The true highlight of the Casina del Forno is its breathtaking view: a series of panoramas stretching from the Iblei mountains to Lake Lentini, from Mount Etna to the plains of Catania, all the way to the sea. This property also stands out for its strategic location, serving as an excellent starting point for exploring the wonders of Eastern Sicily. In less than an hour, you can reach must-see destinations such as Catania, Taormina, Piazza Armerina, Ragusa, Siracusa, the Val di Noto, Etna Park, and Caltagirone.
Additionally, there are enchanting seaside locations like Agnone Bagni, known for its pristine beach, Marzamemi, famous for its local products, and Brucoli, with its charming establishments directly overlooking the sea.

Area hills
The Casina del Forno is located in a peaceful area of low hills, right at the foot of Mount Pancali, surrounded by an unspoiled landscape perfect for trekking enthusiasts. Here, you can immerse yourself in wild trails that have never been touched by humans, where nature retains all its authenticity. In the meadows and among the rocks, you can find wild asparagus, a true gift from the earth for those who love to walk outdoors.
Just a short distance from the property lies the archaeological park from the Greek era, a historical testament that further enriches the experience. Descending towards the town, only 500 meters away, you will be welcomed by the typical atmospheres of Sicilian urban centers, complete with their shops, markets, inns, and restaurants. There are also shopping centers and charming "pizzolerie," where you can savor the famous covered pizza, a real local specialty.
Every Thursday in Lentini, the traditional town market takes place, where you can purchase local products such as cured meats, cheeses, ricotta, olives, and capers. An unmissable event is the "Feast of the Saints," celebrated from May 8 to 11, featuring spectacular fireworks every night and the captivating procession of the naked on May 9. In Carlentini, on the last Sunday of August, the city celebrates with another occasion for festivities and fireworks.
From the Casina del Forno, particularly from its barbecue area, you can enjoy a breathtaking view that encompasses the lights of the towns below and, at night, the enchanting fireworks that light up the surrounding villages, creating unforgettable moments under the Sicilian sky.
