Casa indipendente Via S. Francesco 39, 98060 Basicò ME

The cluster sits on the northern foothills of the Nebrodi Mountains. The Tyrrhenian (northern Sicilian) coast and its beaches lie a short drive to the north; the coastal town of Capo d'Orlando is the nearest sizeable town and has supermarkets, a railway station on the Palermo–Messina line and beach amenities. Parts of the Nebrodi Regional Park and its forested hills and streams lie within roughly 15 km. The local land use is agricultural: olives, citrus and small-scale livestock are common in the surrounding countryside. There are no ski lifts in the immediate area; the nearest mountain winter facilities (Etna and the Madonie) are well beyond a one-hour drive. The area is linked by regional and state roads to the northern coastal corridor and the main railway between Palermo and Messina.
