La Mora is traditional, comfortable farmhouse immersed in the beautiful countryside of the Madonie Nautre Reserve. The views from all points are stunning, not least from the panoramic pool. La Mora is wonderfully private and secluded and yet just a few minutes from the nearest village and a short drive to the sandy beaches that line the coast below... the perfect mix for a perfect holiday.

“The overall standard was great... photos of the property were accurate and compelling... We had a great time - thanks.” Liz Hardy, UK

About the Property

Inside: the house is accessed from the long front terrace. To the right is the living area with fireplace, while straight is the original kitchen. This leads to an inner courtyard and another, fully-equipped kitchen. To the left of the entrance is the dining room and, through a door, a sitting area with a divan bed (the single bedroom if required). Another door leads from the dining room to the main sleeping area: two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, one with bath and one with shower. A flight of stairs lead up to a third bedroom with an en-suite bathroom (toilet and sink only) and wonderful view down towards the sea.

Outside: the first thing you will notice on arrival at La Mora are the breathtaking views: the sea, the north coast of Sicily and the green foothills and woodland of the Madonie Mountains. On two sides of the house there are large panoramic terraces, one particularly suited for outside dining, while a lovely grassy knoll, complete with shady oak tree, provides the perfect spot for sunset watching. Below the house is the glorious, decked pool and a private wood with picnic area.

Think About

The extensive grounds of La Mora are surrounded by several hectares of countryside/farmland, some of which is unfenced. We therefore recommend that younger children are supervised by an adult when exploring the grounds.

It is therefore ideally placed for excursions into some absolutely beautiful countryside, hill walking and interesting visits to the Mediaeval hilltop towns that populate the area.
