Think About

Gli Ulivi is well placed not only for beach lovers, but also for walking in the unspoilt Nebrodi Mountains.

The extensive grounds of Gli Ulivi have a few drops. For this reason, we recommend that younger children are supervised by an adult when exploring the property.


The Area

Exploring the local Area

Gli Ulivi is situated in the lower hills of the north coast, overlooking Capo D'Orlando and its long sandy beach. Just a couple of kilometres east along the coast is the fabulous beach of San Gregorio, a delightful setting with views of the Aeolian Islands. Behind the house, the Nebrodi Mountains rise majestically. They are home to dozens of age-old villages, fantastic scenery, great walking opportunities and some superb restaurants.

Along the coast to the east is the Sanctuary and Greek and Roman remains at Tindari - highly recommended, while to the west lies the lovely Mediaeval town of Cefalu.

The Aeolian Islands are a short hop on the hydrofoil from Capo D'Orlando (in the summer only) or Milazzo (all year round) and day trips are quite feasible. Also very easily accomplished are day trips to Mount Etna and Taormina , which is a little over 1 hour's drive away.
