Description
A panoramic apartment on the first floor of Villa Pietralunga, an imposing Art Nouveau complex dating back to 1910 that evokes bygone eras. The villa is surrounded by 20 hectares of land featuring oak, almond, and olive trees, making it ideal for couples or families seeking the tranquility of expansive green spaces and wishing to explore rural inland Sicily. Ideally located for exploring the Nebrodi Park, with enchanting destinations for hikers (such as the Campanito Lakes or Mount Altesina), and not far from the Madonie Park. Situated 2 km from the Arab-Norman town of Nicosia and 6 km from the charming village of Sperlinga, known for its rock-cut castle. The House The self-contained, recently renovated apartment is furnished with fine furniture and includes two bedrooms (one with a double bed and one with a twin bed and bunk beds + a sofa bed), a kitchen, a bathroom (equipped with a washing machine), a dining room, and a living room with a panoramic terrace offering a splendid view of the woods. Guest Access Guests can enjoy the spacious grounds surrounding the villa and the company of our pets: dogs, cats, horses, and peacocks. A cozy café (located at an outlet near the property entrance) is a 15-minute walk away and offers local products. Other Things to Keep in Mind Villa Pietralunga, built as the summer residence of the Li Destri Nicosia baronial family, has been renovated over time, converting its rural spaces into accommodations for tourists and a family residence; it features a commercial kitchen where Sicilian cooking classes are held for guests upon request. A swimming pool open to the public and offering discounted rates is located 1 km from the Villa.
