Situated 30 minute drive from Cefalu, one hour and a half from the airport in Palermo, the Agritourism Santa Sofia is located in the antique town of Mistretta (980 metres A.S.L.) in the heart of Nebrodi Park..
An antique house emerging from within a two acre park, where in the 1800's a statesman of Mistretta used this beautiful country house for breeding different farm animals and take some rest. Now entirely restored and run by the same family, it opens its doors to the public. It is the ideal place for a short holiday, a weekend get-away and also perfect for parties, reunions and conferences.
The rooms
There are six double rooms, bathrooms with showers, central heating and the possibility of adding a third bed. Four other rooms are set in the amazing courtyard. Two other rooms are located in the penthouse of this lovely agriturism.
