AZIENDA AGRITURISTICA "S. MARIA XILONA |
|
||
|
|
|||
Santa Maria Xilona is a part of Sinagra, within the Nebrodi Regional Park. The homestead, covered in an oasis of greenery; is 8 ha in size and it organically grows fruits, vegetables, olives and hazelnuts, produces extra-virgin olive oil, all of which can be purchased. It is the ideal destination for who wishes to spend a peaceful vacation far from the noise of the city, and enjoy a quiet place in touch with nature. In the immediate surrounding area one can take a refreshing bath in the clear waters of a quaint little lake. |

By car, from the A20 Messina-Palermo highway, exit at Brolo, then take the SS 113 state road for Palermo and after some 4 km, at Ponte Naso, at the fork, follow signs for Sinagra. Once beyond the village of Sinagra, drive along the provincial road for Sinagra-Ucria until the fork with Maimone: from here follow the signs to the homestead. Capo d'Orlando railway/bus station is 10 km from the homestead. |
