If you are not looking for a house by the sea, then this is undoubtedly an ideal location for your holiday. Those that know the area as well as we do maintain that this is the most beautiful part of Sicily thanks to its nature, its architecture and its culture. It is one of the few places in Sicily where it is still possible to find a glimpse of rural Sicilian life. The Madonie National Park is the most important National Park in Sicily and the beautiful medieval town of Polizzi Generosa is located right in the middle of the Park. Staying inside the Park will provide you with the perfect opportunity to get to know it on foot via one of the many hiking trails that run near to the house or visit its beautiful historic towns such as Polizzi Generosa, Petralia Sottana and Soprana, Castelbuono, Geraci Siculo, Ganci and Sperlinga. Near to Collesano there is a striking 18 hole golf course, the Madonie Golf Club, which is surrounded by ancient olive trees and citrus trees and has a spectacular view of the sea. Inside the Park it is possible to arrange guided tours, hiking in the mountains, horse riding, trekking and mountain biking. For your chldren's entertainment we recommend a day at the Parco Avventura delle Madonie near to Petralia Soprana. If you are enthusiastic about food, there are some excellent restaurants at Polizzi Generosa and nearby Castellana Sicula where you can sample typical Sicilian dishes with a modern twist which are made from local ingredients. Polizzi Generosa is located approximately 30 minutes by car from Cefalù, a charming seaside resort which has some beautiful beaches and around 1 hour by car from Palermo.
