Sicilian Nature
The Natural World in Sicily
Simple words can only begin to explain the beauty of a land where the landscapes change dramatically from season to season. The fields scorched by the sun in the summer give way in spring to a green ocean, spotted here and there with blossoming red fields of sainfoin. This is the demonstration that Sicily is not a region to visit only in certain seasons, but at any time of year, and in this way you can become familiar with all the colours and landscapes of this wonderful island.
A land rich in culture and natural beauty – from the beach of Cefalù to the wealthy and generous territories of the hinterland, from the sandy shores of Agrigento to the volcanic heights of Mount Etna, from the Madonie Regional Natural Park to the Natural Reserve of the Sicani Mountains, from one of the most beautiful cities of the Mediterranean – Palermo – to the testimony of past civilizations such as the Valley of the Temples. It is certainly not easy to describe the hundreds and hundreds of routes of natural, cultural and scenic interest of the Sicilian region, but our aim is to give visitors a taste that will introduce them in just a few days to the great wonders of our land. This task is made easier by the strategic location of our hotel. Villa Dafne, in fact, is located at the centre of the Sicilian hinterland, which allows our guests to easily reach all the most sought after destinations in Sicily.
