The “House of the Wind” is wonderfully situated high in the Madonie mountains with wonderful views of the surrounding hills and countryside. The accommodations were modest as one would expect of an late 19th century farmhouse but everything has been updated to modern standards. The building faces out over a shaded courtyard where you can sit and enjoy the aforementioned views over a glass of wine or Prosecco if you prefer. Apart from some cowbells that could be heard in the distance, it was very quiet and relaxing. Just what one needs after long hot days of sightseeing.
The B&B is located about 13kms from the main highway but easy to get to. The location is well situated for day trips to the various towns, villages and historical sights that should be on your itinerary -Palermo, Cefalù, Villa Romana, Agrigento....We strongly recommend you take one of the numerous walks through the hills for the views and the sheer beauty of the place.
The hosts, Francesco and Stefania could not be more delightful. Helpful, friendly and interesting. There when you needed them but never intrusive. Please partake of their vegetarian supper if you have the chance.
If you like peace and quiet, a great view and a comfortable bed to lay your head then you should put this place on your itinerary if you are ever in the area.
