HOLIDAYS ON THE NEBRODI'S

If you are looking for a well designed space to enjoy some good time with your group of loved ones, La Collina dei Nebrodi villa admirably meets this need adding to your stay in Sicily an exclusive taste. This 8 bedrooms vacation villa is a guaranteed trademark for your next holidays in Sicily: attention to details, all mod cons, the privacy you need and a story to write.

A natural area specially chosen for its panoramic view over the fascinating North Shore of the island, a private villa in the charming Sicilian hills. One of the most beautiful spots of Sicily. Your peaceful haven where you can regenerate and feel truly free.

The taste of pure air and Sicilian landscapes

Outdoor activities give much more intense emotions. The boundless estate where the villa is located will be at your disposal and you can move freely in the space in total safety. The paths and natural panoramic terraces will be an opportunity to meditate, regenerate and benefit for the rest of the year. La Collina dei Nebrodi is an island within the island, happy and uncontaminated, loved and protected by travellers from all over the world.

The Kitchen, your free space

Are food and cooking among your passions? Then La Collina dei Nebrodi villa will give you a great inspiration. As the Sicilian culture is strongly linked to the ‘stay in the kitchen’ we have reserved the most beautiful room in the house for food. It is place of sharing and growth, of relations and gratification, where all the senses are stimulated. The cosiness of a professional kitchen and glass walls to enjoy the natural light and admire, while cooking, the surroundings up to the coast.

The ancient farmhouse

Dating back to the nineteenth century, the large living room of the villa has been restored in order to keep the optimal temperature through the seasons and to preserve the ancient arches and stone walls. It houses a large chimney that is the beating heart of the whole house. Decorated with colorful local ceramics, warm lights and comfortable sofas to create a romantic atmosphere in which to spend cool evenings watching a movie all together.

We love people, food, nature and design, but for this trip, we came with no particular plan. A week later, we left the island with tons of fond memory in each of the areas of interest. This was made possible only because we met our wonderful host Claudia. She quickly discerned our inclination and either suggested or personally guided us to olive oil production, ceramic design and other points of interest that are not typical to tourists.
 
There are many tourist spots in Sicily, but our favorite activity was hiking on the shepherd’s path right behind the house. The changing sceneries of ocean, mountain, valley and pasture were breathtaking, and the experience was exquisite and serene. There are many great wines in Italy, but our favorite one was from the family vineyard right behind the house. There are many excellent restaurants in the island, but our favorite meals were cooked by the chef of the villa. She baked a birthday cake for our one-year old granddaughter Kaia, which Kaia will surely appreciate when she grows up.

The building sits on top of a hill by itself overlooking the town of San Marco d’Alunzio, which in turn, sits on top of a hill overlooking the coast town of Sant’Agata di Militello. Thus, it has a commanding view of the area. For generations, the family has kept the surroundings as natural and as beautiful as it ever was, and they intend to keep it this way for generations to come. We salute to their sensitivity to environmental preservation and applaud their generosity to share this beauty with visitors from around the world.
We were lucky to meet Claudia and her family. It was perhaps just another week in their peaceful life, but it was an experience that will surely oscillate in our memory for long time to come.

Excursions to the lakes

The Nebrodi National Park is the largest nature reserve of Sicily, dotted with remote traditional villages rarely visited by tourists. This undulating landscape is covered with birches, oaks, elms, ash trees, cork oaks, maples and yews. Here, porcupines take their shelter’s, Sanfratellani horses, wild cats and numerous species of birds of prey such as the royal eagle, the lanner, the peregrine falcon and the griffin. Walking through it you will encounter ancient high-altitude pastures inhabited by hard working farming communities, which collect mushrooms, hazelnuts, produce a creamy ricotta and breed cows, sheep, horses, goats and pigs. Every time they meet a "stranger", they are very welcoming and friendly, they are characterised by an innate kindness and sympathy. The elderly peasants bring the signs of history and work on their faces, with their skin burned by the sun, and their smiles which are worth a thousand words. If you meet them while they are in the garden, they couldgive you the seasonal fruits they are reaping, so accept them and be grateful, they will appreciate it.

WELCOME TO SICILY

This island is one of the most extraordinary places in the world. Every time you visit it, you always have a new experience: the ubiquitous aroma of lemons, the purity of light on the terracotta-colored walls when the sun rises, the picturesque markets, the spectacle of the eruption of volcanoes, the feeling that history is hidden everywhere, the street lamps of orange light in the alleys of the village in the evening, the exotic flavors of Sicilian cuisine and the infinite complexity of Sicilian culture.
