Case Caro Carrubo Rustico B&B
Think global and act locally
If you're looking for tranquility and simplicity, far from the frenetic pace of the city, this is the place for you.
Located at the foot of the Iblei Mountains between Comiso and Chiaramonte Gulfi, the B&B sits on a hilltop and is surrounded by 4 hectares of meadows, olive trees, almond trees, carob trees, and many other trees planted and cared for over the years on otherwise barren and arid land. With its peace and stunning sunsets, it's the ideal place for travelers seeking harmony with nature and connection with local people and the place. Sheltered from the dangers of the roads, it's perfect for families and children.
The B&B is a small house with a private bathroom and a sunny terrace with panoramic views. Consisting of a single room, the house sleeps five: a single and a double on the ground floor, and two singles in a mezzanine. Heating is provided by a wood-burning stove (for prolonged heating) and a gas stove (for instantaneous heating).
"Think global, act local" is our motto...even in the kitchen. Whenever possible, we use products from our garden and our land, local, organic, and fair trade. Breakfast is homemade, using our own bread and jams.
A large, well-stocked kitchen is available to B&B guests, shared with the other residents of Case Caro Carrubo. Upon request, we prepare vegetarian dishes inspired by Sicilian tradition.
Case Caro Carrubo is based on a continuous search for sustainable living. That's why we've chosen the sun as our primary energy source: off-grid photovoltaics and hot water from solar collectors. This means having a lower impact on the environment while using resources more carefully and consciously.
Earth, stone, trees, and herbs invite our guests to connect deeply with nature and our daily rural life.
The Iblei Mountains offer interesting excursions. Ragusa, Ibla, Modica, and the sea are all a 30-minute drive away. From Comiso, Sicily's main destinations can be reached by train or bus. The two closest international airports are in Catania and Comiso.
The B&B offers convenient parking, but if you decide not to rent a car and arrive by public transportation, we can arrange a pick-up location upon your arrival.

I had a wonderful stay at CCC, it's a beautiful calm place on a top of a hill with a nice view up to the sea. The hosts have been really caring, we ate good seasonal organic food and they pick me up at the bus stop and brought me back. So it's really recommended also for those who haven't got a car. That has been pretty perfect for me. Thank you, Renate, Iano and Eva! Would love to come back soon.

Our stay with Renate was very special for us. The open, warm welcome made us feel at home from the very first moment. The place is a beautiful oasis of nature, of peace, and a place to unwind. We were only too happy to accept her offer and thoroughly enjoyed her delicious meals made with her own and regional, organic products. Even the hearty breakfast with her own fruit, muesli, homemade whole-grain bread, homemade pure almond butter, and jams was a dream. Renate gave us many tips, and we learned a lot from her about her story, her commitment to peace, the environment, and the community of the helpers' circle. - A little paradise!

we had a wonderful stay at case caro carrubo. the location lies extremely quiet and beautiful on a hill of almond trees and thyme where we could pick flowers, fresh herbs and wild salads. we really enjoyed the simplicity of life here - Renate is a very warm and inspirering woman to talk to. She made us feel like home- told us about the area and the challanges of the region- while living a uniquely modest life. i feel we became more aware of the way we live and how easily we get detached from nature. I deeply recommend this place (in case you travel in winter bring very warm clothes)

Renate and the other people made us feel very welcome! They can tell everything about the area and places to visit. It is a beautiful place with many fruit, nut, and olive trees, herbs, a friendly dog and cats. The house is very comfortable and clean with nice little details, and you have superb views and sunsets. They make use of sustainable products and renewable energy. We had a very nice stay!!

Houses Dear Carrubo is a magical place! The house I have stayed in is cozy, bright and clean. On the table I found a colorful bouquet of wildflowers collected by Frida for my arrival.
The wooden loft in the traditional architecture of the house creates a very special atmosphere.
The house is immersed in a land rich in trees, bushes and spontaneous vegetation: the owners have explained to me that over twenty-five years ago they began a reforestation work in an area that is still very harsh today. It is therefore a green oasis, which is beautiful to explore on foot.
By public transport it is possible to approach the b & b; Frida is kindly coming to pick me up at the bus stop. To visit the main areas of interest advice to rent a car. Frida, Pietro and Renate are very helpful and have recommended some itineraries, walks and places to visit.
I am very happy with breakfast as home made with local and organic produce; curious about the recipes proposed by Frida I decided to have lunch with them and I was absolutely satisfied!
Solar panels and great attention to reuse and non-wasting complete the decisively positive experience.
Absolutely recommended!
