Holiday home Casa Kera

Thoughtful archi­tecture. Situated on a hill near the baroque town of Scicli, sur­rounded by carob trees and nature, Casa Kera looks out over the gently rolling hills to the blue shim­mering south coast of the island. A house that natu­rally places itself in the middle of the Sicilian land­scape. This aspect was par­ti­cu­larly important to architect Raf­faella Anzaldo. Her credo: in order to adapt to the beauty of the sur­roun­dings, you have to listen to it and learn from it.

Accor­dingly, the terrain deter­mines the location and layout of the two square compact buil­dings, which follow the natural gra­dient and thus open up habitats on dif­ferent levels. In this way, the flowering nature can be expe­ri­enced from the most diverse angles — from the roots to the trunk to the crown. Partly framed by small and large windows. In addition, generous outdoor ter­races expand the living space and connect inside and outside.

Casa Kera can accom­modate a total of six to eight guests. The two-storey main house has an open-plan kitchen/living room with sofa and fire­place, a bedroom with bathroom and a terrace with sea view on the upper floor. On the lower floor, as well as in the annexe, there is another living room and a bedroom with bathroom.
The play of colours in the buil­dings and their inte­riors also reflects the land­scape — from the beige and brown nuances of the stones and the wild vege­tation to the intense blue of the sea and the dark green of the carob trees. All around, the spa­cious garden gently borders the house as if it had always been there. Which, for the most part, is true. Like the large carob tree that shades the north terrace. Those who come to immerse them­selves here should not forget to take a plunge in the ter­ra­cotta-coloured pool. The most natural need and joy on a holiday in Sicily.
