Overview

Il Piliere is set in rolling countryside with a 360 degree panorama that is among the most beautiful of any of our villas. This, along with the wonderful pool, ensures its position as one of our most desirable properties. It is close to Cefalu', and just a short drive from a sandy beach and an 18 hole golf course. Clean lines, stylish and quality furnishings and fittings, practical living, open spaces, views, and proximity to the charming Madonie town of Collesano make this an ideal property for a family (or 2) or a group of friends.

The Property

Inside: the style of the interiors is clean, bright and fresh, with large windows and a general feeling of space. On the ground floor is a large living room with white sofas, a dining area and a stylish fireplace. The kitchen is well designed and fully equipped. Also downstairs are two double/twin bedrooms and a bathroom. Upstairs are another two double bedrooms and a bathroom.

Outside: Il Piliere is accessed via a quiet, dirt road. The house is set on two hectares of beautiful open countryside with fabulous views of the northern Sicilian coast as far as Capo Zafferano. The lovely pool, surrounded by lawns, is next to the house and boasts the same panorama. In front of the house is a panoramic terrace leading down to an open field, while to the left is a covered pergola accommodating a large dining table and a barbeque. Behind this pergola is a small hill, an inspired spot for a sundowner with yet more stunning views of the sea and the Madonie Mountains.

The Area

Il Piliere is situated on the western flanks of the Madonie Mountains and National Park. It is only 15 min away from the lovely beaches of Lascari and at the same time ideally placed for excursions into some absolutely beautiful countryside, hill walking and interesting visits to the Mediaeval hilltop towns that populate the area. Collesano, the nearest town is just 2.5km away. Here you will find several shops, bars and a couple of restaurants. The Madonie Golf Course is only 4 km away. For motor-racing enthusiasts there is also the Targa Florio Rally Museum. The beach of Cefalù is about 20 minutes away, while Palermo is an hour’s drive down the motorway.
