Nebrodi Albergo Diffuso – the authentic sicilian experience.
In the heart of the Nebrodi mountains, on the Northern coast of Sicily, ten traditional Sicilian villages promote a new form of tourism, based on an innovative offer of a pleasant stay in real Sicilian houses, in the context of the Nebrodi Park area. Kindness, warm welcome and cheerfulness are hallmarks of this community; culture, history and rural world represent the most wonderful examples of an ancient civilization. Visitor is able:
- to enjoy the immeasurable landscape with typical trees, fauna as eagles and hawks; flora as medicinal plants; lakes, falls and rocks;
- to discover the Greek, Byzantine, Norman, Roman, Phoenician heritage, represented by temples, churches, squares, traditional roads;
- to taste the authentic and biological Sicilian cuisine;
- to participate to the traditional events with local people
