Casa Serena is a modern, British-owned, architect-designed luxury Villa in the mountains of northern Sicily, which offers sleek contemporary living in the heart of nature, with breath-taking views. This is a perfect holiday home for lovers of peace, seclusion, superb scenery and high design. Casa Serena lies within the boundaries of the Madonie National Park (http://www.parks.it/parco.madonie/) and is well located for exploring the beautiful mountains, rising to 2000m (6500ft) which are perfect for hiking, riding, cycling/mountain biking, nature and painting holidays. Alternatively, guests can relax on the extensive terrace with its small plunge pool -- or stroll along the numerous wooded paths and lanes in the neighbourhood. A new Garden Guest House, built in 2015, with two en suite bedrooms, can sleep a further 3-4 people, if required. Two e-bicycles are available for guest use.

Casa Serena sits within 1.5 hectares (4 acres) of land, planted with flowers, olives and fruit trees. The views from the south-facing terrace are stunning -- an almost 180-degree vista of the hills of central Sicily to the west, the town of Polizzi Generosa.
