I had a wonderful stay with Francesco E Stefania. They have a delightful cottage that sits near the base of the Madonie and Polizzi Generosa commune. What’s nice about this accommodation is that provides a truly authentic feel of how the locals live. The countryside is beautiful, the place is quiet, the breakfast is excellent, the hosts are delightful...but more than anything it makes you appreciate the wonderful area which is probably less traveled versus most other parts of Sicily. I highly recommend staying here if you have an interest in hiking the Madonie or exploring your familial roots. Or just to take an off the beaten path from the touristy parts of Sicily.
The location is ideal if you want quiet yet are interested in driving to take a day trip to Palermo or Cefalu.
