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 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.

The Area

La Mora is situated on the western flanks of the Madonie Mountains and National Park. 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. Collesano, the nearest town is just 2km away. Here you will find several shops, bars and a couple of restaurants. For motor-racing enthusiasts there is also the Targa Florio Rally Museum. The beach of Cefalu' is about 20 minutes away, while Palermo is just over an hour’s drive down the motorway.

Think About

The house is surrounded by several hectares of ungated farmland and while the property has been a firm favourite with families, younger children should not stray too far from the house without an adult.
