Gratteri (Palermo) Code
The farmhouse is immersed in unspoiled nature, inspiring peace, meditation and creativity. The structure obtained from stables and sheepfolds renovated in an estate of 120 hectares of pastures and forests of oak trees, 780 meters high, in the extraordinary setting of the Natural Park of Madonie, in Sicily.
The agriturismo has ten bedrooms, a dining room, a meeting area, a room for workshops, a panoramic swimming pool with views of the sea in the distance and of the mountains, and immense open spaces.
