Margheritas hacienda with private pool is far more beautiful than the photographs can ever capture. The house is set on the family olive farm and although small is perfect for two people. It has all the amenities you need and its own outside terrace which looks out onto the sea from your elevated position in the foothills of the Madonie mountains nearby. The views around the villa are a spectacular 360degree panorama of mountains, foothills and coastline and are breathtakingly beautiful. The nearest town campo de felice is only a short drive and has a few supermarkets, a butchers and plenty of bakery and everyday shops. There are also 2 superb restaurants within a short drive (3 minutes Maremonti or 15 minutes - Casale Drinzi ) serving "slow food" local organically farmed dishes and wine and that are excellent quality and populated with local families enjoying panoramic sunsets from their terraces. Collissano is a nearby town from The Madonie range and the mountains are very accessible by car and beautiful worth visiting for great small towns and authentic experiences of Sicily.
Margherita, Eugenio the manager and Nino the olive farmer are all around if you need them, extremely friendly and helpful but low key staying out of your way unless you need them. Eugenio met us at the nearby town on arrival and led us the short distance to the hacienda to settle in. We were met by everyone and given a complimentary bottle of olive oil from the farm and home made marmalade (delicious).
Cefalu a busy seaside holiday town, quite buzzing and full of distractions is also only 25 minutes drive away, close enough to go anytime you fancy but mostly once you see the house and its land you will want to simply stay put enjoying the tranquility, landscapes and small private swimming pool (2.5 X 5 metres chest deep). This is an air bnb secret treasure of a place and we have travelled widely to be able to compare. Fantastic base for Sicilian adventures.
