New, modern architecture & design which suits eyes and mind. Amazing infinity pool which blends with the ocean on the horizon. A view and a place which is worth the trip to Sicily alone. Thanks to the hosts Francesca & Lorenzo we had a wonderful relaxing stay and want to come back soon!

La Mortilla è innanzitutto un’esperienza. Lasciatevi cullare ora dall’assoluta pace (che regna sovrana dentro e fuori la struttura) ora dalla bellezza del tramonto che si specchia nel mare della Riserva Naturale Foce del Fiume Platani. Il relax, però, non è esclusivamente affar vostro: Gli splendidi padroni di casa si assicureranno che il soggiorno sia il più gradevole possibile (in tal senso urge la menzione alla spiccata ospitalità e al buonissimo cibo) e, come nel nostro caso, daranno alla permanenza un quid pluris che non dimenticherete. Ogni aspetto della struttura (nuovissima ed estremamente curata) sarebbe degno di nota, ma sia consentito sottolineare come la piscina (e la relativa posizione) racchiuda molte delle caratteristiche che caratterizzano la struttura: bellissima, curata e suggestiva, specie nei bagni al tramonto. Insomma, La Mortilla è il gioiello della corona delle colline che circondano Cattolica Eraclea.

One word: WOW! The place is truly amazing. Words almost don't do it justice. You have to experience it for yourself. The house is super clean with very nice style and it has everything you need. The outside area is where you will spend your time though. The view is of the sort you will never get tired off and you just want to relax there, read a book, have a wine (or two) and just enjoy life. The main house with its epic pool is also such a lovely place that you don't want to leave. Try it for yourself, you will be amazed!

Our stay at La Mortilla was the best holiday we ever had so far, we even changed our travel plans to come back a second time! The property (and pool), surroundings, view and rooms are so beautiful that it is difficult to put in words, magical is probably the best way to describe it. Moreover, the kindness, warmth and care from the hosts towards the guests is phenomenal and will make you feel at home from the first moment after your arrival. We left with beautiful memories and we can’t wait to come back again. Thank you so much!

This is the place, don't look any further. Would recommend this to anyone. Location is amazing, hospitality is the best, and sunset is beautiful. Also very safe in regard to Covid.

La Mortilla è un luogo magico. Immerso nel verde, offre una vista a 360° gradi sul paesaggio circostante. All’esterno è presente una stupenda piscina a sfioro di cui è possibile godere a qualsiasi ora del giorno, ma che dà il meglio di sé all’ora del tramonto. Sia la casa, sia la stanza in cui io e il mio fidanzato abbiamo alloggiato erano perfette: curate nel design, con dettagli di grande personalità, pulite e dotate di ogni comfort. L’ospitalità poi è impeccabile: vi faranno sentire subito a casa e vi forniranno preziosi consigli per muovervi nella zona. Avrete la possibilità di fermarvi con loro a cena, esperienza che vi consiglio di non perdere!

Il est difficile de décrire par un simple commentaire l’expérience exceptionnelle que nous avons vécue au sein de l’incroyable maison. Nous vous recommandons d’y aller les yeux fermés pour plusieurs raisons : Tout d’abord, la maison est une ancienne ferme complètement rénovée avec beaucoup de goût, une vue imprenable de 360 degrés sur la région et sur la mer vous permet d’assister à des couchers de soleil à couper de souffle. Tout y est bien pensé : des chambres avec des lits très confortables et avec toutes les commodités, une immense piscine débordante parfaite pour se rafraichir de la chaleur du mois d’août, plusieurs endroits dans la maison permettent d’admirer le fameux coucher de soleil. Ensuite, et surtout, nous avons eu affaire à des hôtes exceptionnels, le cœur sur la main, ils nous ont permis de vivre une expérience unique. Nous avions l’impression d’être accueillis par des membres de la famille très attentionnés. Nous avons eu la chance de partager des repas délicieux préparés avec passion et amour par Lorenzo: des plats siciliens avec des produits locaux et un vin issu directement de la ferme, les desserts de Francesca sont également excellents. La Mortilla c’est finalement un endroit pour voyager différemment et où on découvre réellement la culture Italienne/Sicilienne et où on rencontre des personnes exceptionnelles

We travelled a lot in the past but this Airbnb was honestly the most special, beautiful and welcoming place we have ever stayed at. I simply cannot put it into words how wonderful everything was! Every morning you wake up to this 360 degree view from the terrace and every evening you witness the most beautiful sunsets from the pool area, where the air is filled with some kind of magic. I literally nearly cried at every sunset because I just felt so happy to be there. The valley, blooming flowers, lots of plants, olive trees, vineyards and quiet starry sky made us feel so calm and relaxed, far from every worry and daily life chaos. Both houses are a statement to a good taste in architecture and design, combining the modern with the traditional. The little house where we stayed, Mortillina, was super cosy, clean and equipped with everything you need to enjoy your holidays, even offering a beach umbrella and chairs. The outside was, of course, where we spent most of our time. And how can you not when you have a view like this! The absolute highlight of our stay was Francesca and Lorenzo, who are the warmest and kindest hosts one could ever wish for. Everything (their outstanding hospitality, interesting conversations, Lorenzo’s delicious wine and dinner) provided us with a very unique experience that will remain among the most beautiful travel memories. Thank you so much! We truly found our home in Sicily and cannot wait to be back. I recommend La Mortilla and Mortillina to everybody who wants to experience a bit of magic during their holidays.

The views in all directions with vinyards, olive trees and pistacchio trees up to the sea are breathetaking. The vast starry sky is so close and enchanting. The nearby towns and beaches will capture your heart. This place is so beautiful and imprints on your mind long after you have gone. Our visit was difficult at start as our car rented from Sicily By Car broke and it was taken away without a replacement. It was impossible to get back to Palermo airport as the location is remote. Our lovely hosts, Lorenzo and Francesca went out of their way to help us, in calling the car company and arranging alternative solution which we felt we couldnt do alone, giving us their own car and driving us when we were able to pick up the new car. We felt so grateful as we were in good hands. We had a wonderful time on top of the world and the most caring hosts. Dont miss out on this place and their kindness!

One of the best places we’ve been to ever. La Mortilla is situated on a hill which provides stunning views and quiet days & evenings. The house is beautifully renovated and decorated tastefully with modern furniture - mixing “the old” with “the new”. Lorenzo and Francesca are amazing hosts. They make you feel very welcome, are easy to communicate with, helpful and are nice conversation partners during the lovely lunches/dinners you can join. No doubt we will go back when visiting Sicily :)

Best accommodation we've ever had so far....we'll be dreaming about our time spent at Francesca & Lorenzo. The house is so beautiful, the pool is incredible and the garden is AMAZING and on top Lorenzo is an exceptional Chef, his meals were so delicious! Choose to take meals with them and you'll not regret it. The experience at La Mortilla definitely is the highlight of our 10 day trip in Sicily and for sure we will back at La Mortilla! This is the place if you're looking for relaxation and to disconnect. Enjoy Francesca & Lorenzo company, wine, pool, Dark, coffee... 😀 Grazie mille ❤️

Lorenzo et Francesca ont été les meilleurs hôtes possible. Au delà d’être des hôtes chaleureux ils sont également de magnifiques personnes, bienveillantes, attentionnés, d’une gentillesse incroyable. Nous avons pu le constater dès notre arrivée. Nous avons été accueillis dans un havre de paix, une bulle magique, un vrai paradis. Tout était là pour nous éblouir. Les paysages étaient magnifiques, la piscine à débordement avec sa vue sur les montagnes et la mer nous a laissé sans voix, le couché de soleil y était sublime. Le terrain entourant la piscine était d’une vrai beauté. La « Mortillina » était sublime, entourée de terrasses avec une vue à couper le souffle, le levé du soleil y était magique. Il s’agit de notre plus belle expérience autant pour les lieux idyllique que pour Lorenzo et Francesca que nous avons quitté avec une larme à l’œil et l’envie incontestable de revenir de nouveau. Merci d’avoir participé à rendre notre lune de miel si merveilleuse. Avec Amour, Jules & Nina

Es ist kaum in Worte zu fassen, wie schön es bei Francesca und Lorenzo ist. Ein Traum von einem Anwesen, das Haus, der Pool, der Ausblick, das Essen…aber vor allem der Spirit durch die beiden herzlichsten Gastgeber, die wir je getroffen haben. Immer hilfreich zur Stelle aber nie aufdringlich, stets aufgeschlossen und gastfreundlich. Alles ist picobello sauber, stylisch eingerichtet aber vor allem gemütlich. Wer entspannte Tage in fantastischer Umgebung mit Ausblick auf Sonnenaufgang im Osten bis zum Sonnenuntergang im Westen, Sonnenstunden am Strand (menschenleeren Naturstränden oder einer schön überschaubaren Marina mit 4 Banios fürs Strandessen) und leckerem Essen am Abend mit den Gastbern sucht, wird mit dem Paradies belohnt. Man möchte es gar nicht weiter empfehlen, damit immer ein Zimmer für einen selbst frei ist :-) Grazie mille und bis bald 👋🏻 wir werden wieder kommen. Kerstin und Robert
