Area Description

The property covers an area of perhaps 10 acres all told and is surrounded
by hundred hectares of olive groves and has sweeping views of the Sicilian
hinterland.
The area is extremely quiet and peaceful with stunning views of rolling
countryside, remote enough that you rarely hear any noise but the sounds of
the birds chattering.
there are excellent walking opportunities in the hilly countryside (by the way, there are almost no fences here and the farmers encourage you to go where you like).
