Casa Migliaca

My sister had stayed here the year before and raved about it. So for my husband's 70th birthday 6 dear family and friends decided it was a way to celebrate. The magic of this place was beyond our expectations! In every way it was an exquisite experience. The tranquil beauty of the grounds and enchantment of the home and guest rooms make it a place you could go to for days, weeks and for me even months. Yet it's also a wonderful base from which to see other parts of Sicily like the Villa Romana. Especially memorable are the absolutely delicious dinners in the charming kitchen sitting at an antique table with people from many countries. Luca the owner is an amazing host. Thank you for making our stay the perfect celebration!

Spent almost 3 weeks in Sicily and Casa Migliaca was a highlight. The beautifully restored building is comfortably rustic with all the amenities required. Very quiet and comfortable, like staying with close firends. The grounds are walkable and interesting. This is a place to stay for several days to relax and go slowly. Luca, the owner, is easy-going, welcoming and responsive. Perhaps the best part is the evening meal which is served family-style with all guests seated around a huge round table. Each multi-course meal is served in platters on a large lazy susan. The food is locally sourced fare representative of great Sicilian country style eating prepared to perfection by Enza. During our stay we enjoyed sharing dinner and conversing with guests from Israel, Sweden, Denmark, France and Germany. Casa Migliaca is about 30 minutes by car from Cefalu. Spend 3 hours in Cefalu and 3 days at Casa Migliaca. You'll be glad you did.

In occasione della visita agli splendidi allestimenti land art di "Fiumara d'Arte", abbiamo goduto dell'ospitalità di Casa Migliaca, un vecchio frantoio trasformato oggi in una casa di pietra e legno. Un luogo capace di far risuonare le corde più intime e nobili della memoria rurale del Mezzogiorno d'Italia. Le stanze, dotate di tutto il necessario, sono rusticamente arredate. Non mancano mobili autenticamente antichi e suppellettili che generano l'interesse dei collezionisti. Ma la caratteristica più bella, e rara, è costituita dall'enorme tavolo circolare, assemblato con le pietre sulle quali si molivano le olive e sormontato da un altrettanto poderoso tavolo girevole sul quale viene posto il cibo (delizioso) ed il vino (buono). Ci si sta fino in venti. Così la cena, consumata assieme, tra ospiti e proprietari, è l'occasione per scambiare impressioni, esperienze, consigli. Ed il valore aggiunto è dato dall'eterogeneità dei commensali e dalle diverse provenienze. A tavola eravamo italiani, argentini, danesi ed austriaci. Una bella macedonia, non c'è che dire!
