Welcome to La Casa di Melo!
 
La Casa di Melo is an ancient farmhouse in Eastern Sicily, recently renovated into a lovely farm holiday resort.
 
It lies beneath an organic citrus plantation and it is the green lung of our business. Our farm has been cultivating organic products for the past 20 years. To us, organic is a lifestyle, a better way of living with a low environmental impact. It is a lifestyle we would like to share with you.
 
We created an environment in harmony with surrounding nature so that you can fully enjoy the leisure of Sicily's countryside. La Casa di Melo is located in a special position: only 12 kms away from Syracuse, very close to the beaches of Fontane Bianche and just 15 minutes away fromNoto. A perfect base from where to start discovering the magic of culture, nature and food of South Eastern Sicily.
 
La Casa di Melo has a shop where you can find our own products such as almond paste or extra-virgin olive oil, the output of organic agriculture.
 
And for those of you who are not content of being just a short distance away from the seaside, there's a beautiful swimming pool that fits harmoniously within the landscape, just in front of the farmhouse. Once recharged by such relax, you can arrange short bicycle rides to the nature reserve of Ciane river. Bicycles are on the premises, of course.
 
If you are lloking for a all-inclusive hotel or a conventional b&b we are not the right place for your holidays.
 
No pets allowed.

This becomes apparent not only in the wood frame construction of our house, but also by being entirely free of electrosmog and our awardwinning Green Cuisine (Grüne Haube). Surrounded by unique nature you will find our Relax Garden, solar heated outdoor pool, organic herb garden and hiking paths from the front door. We are happy to organise buses or taxis for your outings. Nature meets culture. Comfortable environmentally friendly rooms. "Rodelhüttenstube", the red meditation hall of the two Buddahs, natural stone wine cellar, Panorama Spa... relaxing and stress-free in your Tyrolean hide-away Grafenast. Skiing and tobogganing from the house door. Snow shoe walking, themed breakfasts and dinners, baking bread together, being a paradise for children and Austrian hospitality shape the special ambience. This holistic philosophy is not only dear to our hearts - many of our regular guest also appreciate our excellent value for money offers and feel the soul of Grafenast.

When, over 30 years ago, we trasformed the Bergerhof, for the love of nature, into a "bio" situation and then a few years later we began commercialising the biological activity, we would never have thought that one day our dream to create a Bio Hotel yould become a reality. The idea was born from the desire to let everyone experience the positive energy which nature brings with it as a sign of gratitude for the sustainable style of life that it gives us. Today, we can say: that we`ve made it!

Leave all sense of stress and exhaustion behind whilst enjoying the sunny lawn, the winter garden or the spa area. This balance of healthy and nutritious foods and elaxing treatments will soon restore your sense of well-being. Surrounded by wonderful landscapes Sommerau is ideal for mountain walks and hiking. We also have mountain bikes, snow shoes, toboggans and equipment for crosscountry skiing for your use.

Managed by the Geyer family since 1929, the historic GAIA Hotel impresses with 86 high-quality rooms, all of which are furnished with great attention to detail. Warm colours and selected works of local artists characterise the interior of this cosmopolitan city hotel. With the cozy spa area and the beautiful breakfast room, the GAIA Hotel is a true oasis of well-being, where guests can leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind. “GAIA” means “Mother Earth”, who personifies the entire ecosystem of our planet. The name represents our commitment to doing our part for the wellbeing, happiness and hope of future generations.

Our high standard cuisine, naturally different:
Not in large quantities but of excellent quality.
Our focus is value

The quality of the ingredients is one of these values,
and so is our way to combine them in order to preserve their vital principles.

The result:
The surplus of energy resources migrates to your health reservoir – Is there anything better than that? Our cold stirred raspberry jam is a little bit redder, our self-baked bread is a little crunchier, while the goat cheese from our bio farmers is lightly creamier.
