What Guests Say
Very nice hotel, almost looks like a castle. The location and the views were exceptional. They have this little bench overlooking valleys which is just pure bliss. The staff were extremely friendly, especially the chef and the waitress who really took good care of my hunger after a full day of motorcycle riding :) The room was very clean and did the job

The peaceful setting in the lovely Modonie Mountains was a delight and the accommodation was beyond our expectations set in a beautiful garden of a restored watch tower. It was a perfect location for hiking and exploring true Sicily with access to Cefalu close by. Breakfast was of a continental style and the set evening meals, with various courses, beautiful prepared and varied. Catering was adapted for a vegetarian diet and dining in a relaxed atmosphere. You will certainly be well fed The hosts, Karin and Luigi, were especially helpful and welcoming and we wished we had booked a longer stay with them

My partner and I really enjoyed our stay here. The house is a beautifully restored historic gem with sweet, traditional bedrooms. The garden is idyllic and the views are unparalleled. Not only that, but the hospitality we received was excellent - superb dinner, decent breakfast and friendliness from our host Karen.

The location is a paradise itself - we started there our Sicily trip for two nights. To be honest at the end of our week when driving back from east Sicily back to the airport I wished I had two more days and relax there again. I loved to sit on one bench with wine, watching sunset before always tasty dinner. The atmosphere is there brilliant. If you add very intersting Madonia mountains nearby and you prefer silent nights, and time making slow tick tack it is a place !

We loved the beautifully restored old building and the location which is superb for hiking. There is an interesting village nearby which is about an hour's walk, quite steep up the hill. The owner has good maps of the area and can show you more than 10 hikes of different lengths. Having meals outside was just amazing.

Beautiful surroundings in the middle of the mountains, ideal as a starting position for a hike in the mountains. Excellent dinner with several courses. Friendly and helpful owners. We left early in the morning, they prepared breakfast for us in advance.

Quiet rural location with stunning views. It is a family-run establishment and everyone was very friendly and helpful. The home-made food was wonderful. We stayed on 'half-board' and felt it was exceptional value. Highly recommended.

Run by a husband and wife team, this charming property makes for a delightful stop in the Madonie. The room furnishings are a bit basic and there is no air-conditioning or ceiling fan or mini-frig, but there are screens on the windows and even tho we were there in August, the night-time temperature did drop down to comfortable for sleeping. Breakfast was plentiful, and it is definitely worth it to plan on arriving early enough to have dinner there.
