Trilocale in Contrada Zampellica 1

The cluster is on the Tyrrhenian side of Sicily with the Nebrodi mountains rising inland and the coast of the Gulf of Patti immediately nearby. The sea here is the Tyrrhenian, with a broken shoreline of small headlands and beaches around Capo Calavà and San Giorgio. The Parco dei Nebrodi begins inland within this radius on the higher ground behind the coast. The nearest substantial town is Patti, which has daily services, a railway station and the archaeological area of Tindari just beyond it. The Aeolian Islands are visible offshore in clear weather but they are not part of the local 15 km landscape. The area is known for olive groves, citrus and hazelnuts on the coastal and lower hill slopes, and for summer seaside tourism.
