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.
