What To Expect
The Madonie Mountains is scattered with picturesque hilltop towns. One of the prettiest is Castelbuono. After stop at the Medieval abbey, you'll stroll in the idyllic town center and visit the majestic castle donated to Sant’Anna. Literally a piece of heaven, the old abbey is now famous all over the world because of its gold-medals-awarded winery company. There you will taste some of their selected wines and typical appetizers, all without forgetting a visit of their cellar where you will enjoy the smell of their handcrafted oak barrels, manufactured in the department of Allier. Definitely a must for guests that come to this side of Sicily.
