  We had such an enriching experience. This beautiful home in Madonie was our base while we experience so many wonderful parts of Sicily. The views are phenomenal and the garden vegetables here delicious! The food here in town was great, some of the best pizza at the Pionere. We especially enjoyed the days playing on the beaches of Cefalu, shopping and fun excursions there (beware that some of the vendors will try to make you pay more than it is actually worth!) Overall a wonderful experience.

  Martinache family wanted to say: what a pleasure! Great house and fantastic landscape. It definitely was the best spot to relax. It was full of surprises: cool weather, tasty vegetables and unexpected fog. I am now the king of the barbecue and my sister the queen of the washing dishes. As usual, us kids do everything. We all wanted to thank you and I'm sure we'll come back soon. Grazie Mille

  Well I can only echo everything that has been said, beautiful and magic place. We were not well when we arrived but we feel we missed out on nothing-being here and visiting surrouding hills and valleys has been wonderful. We had a fun time with Cetina and loved the food she cooked for us, all biological/organic grown locally. Complimenti also on the style of the house, classy! Like others before us we wish we could package up some of this place and take it home.

  This is a very quiet and peaceful place for those who want to live in the rural countryside but with the benefit of a town close by. The location in the mountains means that the weather is cooler in the morning and evening. The mountain stream and freezing cold plunge pool really cool you off on any hot days. The local town is very friendly and welcoming and there is plenty to see internally and on the coast. We did get a bit bored of going up and down the mountain so not for those who want to spend every day on the beach. The house and garden are charming and simple with fresh figs and vegetables when available and good appliances. Perfect for 2 couples as the double rooms are far apart and private.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

  This is a wonderful house in the Madonie mountains. Beautiful views, tranquil and private, although neighbors are close by. The town of Polizzi is only 10 minutes away. Some would consider the site remote, but if you want to be in the Madonie, this spot is hard to beat. Easy to get to Cefalu if you want the beach. The house is charming, in excellent condition, and the owners are attentive and helpful. We picked vegetables from the garden, wildflowers for the table, and soaked up the sun. The owners are a wealth of information and even arranged a cooking lesson for us. Highly recommended.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

  This was our first visit to Sicily and we very much enjoyed our stay in this lovely villa. The villa is high on a hill with spectacular views overlooking the valley and looking up towards the historical village of Polizzi which is within walking distance. The villa is newly renovated with lots of character (beautiful polished concrete floors, lots of stone and a wood heater) and well equipped with all that we needed. We made most of our meals at the villa as the kitchen was very well appointed and it was so nice to be able to cook with the fresh herbs straight from the garden. We also loved sitting on the stone terrace enjoying a glass of wine after a day exploring the surrounding area. Though too cold for us to use, the natural rock pool would be a great place to cool off in the hotter weather. An added surpise was the the ancient flour mill ruins and fresh spring water running from the mountains through water channels on the property. The owners Leanne and Giuseppe are delightful. They met us at the villa and went out of their way to help us with maps and ideas for trekking, places to eat and places to purchase groceries in the village. They made our stay absolutely wonderful. Thank you. We hope to return one day.

  We had a beautiful week here in your wonderful and peaceful home. We've thoroughly enjoyed touring around Sicily from here and also seeing into the local Polizzi Generosa community.

  After taking a gruelling tour through Italy at a hectic pace it was a breath of fresh air to arrive in the Madonie and recharge our strength. A wonderful comfortable spot to explore this wonderful part of the world.
