点评:When I was planning my trip to Sicily, a friend recommended the book "A house in Sicily" by Daphne Phelps. After some more research, I realised I could actually visit the house from the book, which is now a fabulous museum (and also hotel). It's a very cool place. It's served as a sort of artists and writers retreat and the list of guest who've stayed there reads like a who's who of 20th century. The guide we had was fab, giving us an insight into the history and design of the house and anecdotes about the many famous visitors.
The views down to the coast and over to Etna were gorgeous.
I loved this place and would recommend both visiting it and reading the book about its fabulous history.
You have to book a visit in advance ,so I emailed casacuseni@gmail.com and was able to book a tour for a couple of days later. Tickets cost 20 euros, quite steep but worth it for such a unique place.
It's a 10/15 minute walk uphill from Piazza IX Aprile.
翻译:当我计划去西西里岛旅行时,一位朋友向我推荐了达芙妮·菲尔普斯 (Daphne Phelps) 的《西西里的房子》一书。经过进一步研究,我意识到我实际上可以参观书中的房子,现在它是一家很棒的博物馆(也是酒店)。这是一个非常酷的地方。它被用作艺术家和作家的休憩之所,住过这里的客人名单读起来就像 20 世纪的名人录。我们的导游很棒,让我们深入了解了房子的历史和设计,以及许多著名访客的轶事。
海岸和埃特纳火山的景色非常美丽。
我喜欢这个地方,推荐参观它并阅读有关其精彩历史的书。
您必须提前预订参观,所以我给 casacuseni@gmail.com 发了电子邮件,并预订了几天后的旅行。门票 20 欧元,相当昂贵,但对于如此独特的地方来说值得。
从四月九日广场 (Piazza IX Aprile) 步行上山需 10/15 分钟。
