Interior

As former part of the city wall the house is built into the slope. It consists of three storeys with just one room each. The lower floor levels to the main street while the upper floor levels to the back front with the main entrance. The street front façade has been refurbished in summer 2015 and now glows like a sunset...

Enter the building by the back front door and you'll find yourself in the spacious kitchen-cum-livingroom. The kitchen is fully equipped with 4-plate-stove, oven, dishwasher and washing machine. Here you also find the cosy pellet fireplace, which heats the whole house in winter. In the warm seasons the balcony invites to have breakfast, enjoy the view over the Straits of Messina, or simply watch the village life. A small TV set with DVD player may make up for the occasional rainy day. We are — with the help of some guests — gradually building up a small „Sicilian Library“ with books and DVDs. And if Forza gets too „villagey“ — well then hook up to the global village of the Internet by our high speed Wi-Fi.

To the right of the main entrance door the stairs run down to the lower floors. Both storeys consist of a bedroom and a bathroom with shower, water closet and bidet. The middle floor bedroom has a matrimonial bed and a small balcony. Downstairs there is a bunk bed, suitable for (not too small) children or (not too big) teenagers or adults. Furthermore you will find there a sofa which folds out to a queen size bed. Thus, up to 4 persons will find a place to sleep downstairs. The lower bedroom faces the village street and as a former wine cellar it is always refreshingly cool in summer. There is another bathroom downstairs, and it’s blue. (And yes, bedlinen, towels and hairdryer are available!)
