Belli Resort is located in the magical surroundings of the town of Gratteri in the heart of the Madonie National Park only a few kilometres from the sea at Cefalù. The resort has been created from a series of stone buildings which have been expertly and carefully restored. New architectural features counterbalance the original features of the building to create a space that is magical and full of atmosphere. Particular attention has been paid to the surrounding countryside and solutions to minimize the impact on the local environment have been found wherever possible. The resort offers its guests typical Sicilian hospitality and facilities that will ensure a healthy and relaxing stay in an environment that has been created to provide the maximum level of comfort. Belli Resort has two swimming pools, one of which is heated and comes complete with water massage.

The entrance to the hotel will give you a taste of the atmosphere of the resort - you cross the Mediterranean garden via a boardwalk made from larch wood and pass small cascades and water features as you make your way to the stone buildings which house the reception and communal areas.

The hotel has 13 rooms:

1 Suite: "Il terrazzo dei sette campanili".
2 Junior Suites: "Lo scrittoio dell'artista" and "Il baglietto del Melograno" comprising two communicating bedrooms which can be booked separately for use as Standard rooms.
5 Superior: "I colori dell'acqua", "Il Balcone delle Ginestre", "Il Balcone di Via Roma", "Il Balcone di Via Bellini" and "Il Balcone sui Tetti".
5 Standard: "Il Terrazzo di Grotta Grattara", "Il piccolo Baglio delle Castagne", "Il Campanile di San Jaco", "Il Giardinetto del Loto", "Le Rocce e l'Acqua" and "Il baglietto del Melograno".

All the rooms have under-floor heating, a bathroom with a shower or whirlpool bath, a hair dryer, a telephone, an internet connection, satellite television with access to SKY channels, a mini bar and a safe.
Inside the resort there is a small but well stocked wine cellar which stocks a wide range of Sicilian wines that can be tasted at the Wine Bar, a restaurant which serves its own versions of typical Sicilian dishes made from high-quality local ingredients, a spa which is always open and offers a series of health courses and facilities which include a sauna, water massage in the heated swimming pool, a relaxation centre with infusions and a massage room. Outside in the magnificent garden there is a natural swimming pool (15 x 5 metres) and a solarium with sunbeds on a larch wood floor.

Gratteri is located in the centre of the north of Sicily set amongst the rocks of the Madonie National Park facing the sea near to Cefalù. Gratteri is a small hill town made up of stone houses clinging to the rocks with a magnificent view of the Mediterranean sea. It is a real architectural jewel where time has stood still. In recent years a number of personalities from the worlds of culture and television have purchased properties here to enjoy the pleasant climate and tranquility of this charming town. It is the perfect location for those who wish to retire to a quiet and secluded spot in the evening after a day at the beach. Gratteri is only 13 kilometres from the beaches of Cefalù (Settefrati, Mazzaforno and Kalura) and only a few kilometres from the Madonie National Park where you can discover the magical mountain towns and sample some of the exquisite local specialities in one of the many restaurants and trattorias that you will find lodged between Baroque mansions and 18th Century churches. From Gratteri it is easy to reach and visit other tourist destinations in the area such as the historic centre of Palermo, Monreale, the small lakes of Tindari and the ruins of Solunto.
