Nestling in the hills below the charming village of Pollina, Cecilia has far stretching views of the Tyrrhenian, and on a good day, of the seven Aeolian Islands. The house is beautifully designed, cosy and practical, and the grounds have been superbly divided into living, dining and loung areas with plenty of space for everyone.

“Villa was up to our expectations which are usually quite high! I do think that you should be credited with offering a level of service that is of a quality very rarely found (if at all) amongst other agencies.”
Guy Thursfield, United Kingdom, August 2012

Think About

Once you get tired of the beach, there are some fabulous walks in the Madonie mountains.
The architect of this postmodern villa, Adriana Bisconti, worked with some of the most noteworthy Italian postmodern architects (Cellini, Nicolin, Bisogni, Indovina) and displayed her work at the Biennale di Venezia.


The Area

Exploring the local Area

The north flank of the Madonie mountains, just east of Cefalu', is one of the most beautiful areas in Sicily. The sea views are stunning, the flora and fauna incontaminated, and the towns and villages unspoilt. Pollina and Castelbuono, the two nearest towns, are good examples of this. Castelbuono is just now starting to find its place on the tourist map and features a fascinating castle and some good restaurants. Hill-top Pollina is a typical Sicilian village.

The beach at Pollina, which is just 10 minutes drive from Cecilia, is well equipped in summer for the benefit of the clients of an adjacent Italian holiday resort. Out of the peak season, however, it is relatively deserted.

"Villa was up to our expectations which are usually quite high! I do think that you should be credited with offering a level of service that is of a quality very rarely found (if at all) amongst other agencies. We really didn't need to use your support services at all but I suspect that they are of the highest standard too... Very, very professional all round. Service level out of the top draw."

Wilhelm Hamilton, Sweden, 26 May 2012
"The property was wonderful... One of the best things about the house was the two lovely ladies who cleaned and cooked for us they where fantastic!"

Paul Carpentier, Belgium, 16 July 2011
"How did we enjoy our holiday? The villa, its location and especially its architecture are unique... We love Think Sicily's professional approach and drive to keep improving the service. Please keep doing so. Customers notice! Thanks!"
