Set on the Sicilian coast with beautiful views of the Mediterranean sea, Terre di Bea is a traditional cottage that has recently been renovated to create a luxurious ‘eco-sanctuary’. Hand-sculpted local stone, chestnut beams and ancient clay tiles have all been used to restore this rustic cottage, staying true to Sicilian building traditions. You’ll find the interior and the colourful outdoor spaces have been decorated with pieces by local artists and craftspeople, adding to the celebration of the local culture and style.
Given the stunning natural surroundings, there’s a focus on outdoor living and you can cook in the outdoor kitchen and enjoy your meals alfresco surrounded by vibrant erica shrubs and corbezzoli trees. Spend lazy afternoons relaxing in the hammock or on the day bed by the pool and sit out late into the evening, stargazing in the outdoor lounge area.
You’ll find the decor is inspired by the Sicilian landscape, using colours that complement the coastal location, light fabrics and natural wood accents. This theme continues whether you’re relaxing in the cool living room inside or soaking up the scenery in the outdoor lounge. You’ll also find many paintings and sculptures throughout the cottage and if one of these catches your eye, they’re available to purchase, supporting one of the local artists.
There are two bedrooms, each with its own entrance, luxurious beds and a bathroom with a rain shower. In the mornings, go for a refreshing dip in the pool before breakfast out on the terrace looking out over the sea. Choose to cook inside or in the sheltered outdoor kitchen with its beautiful sea view, BBQ and mini bar stocked with local fruit, Sicilian wines and soft drinks.
Terre de Bea is located in the heart of the Pine Ridge Forest Reserve of the Parco Delle Madonie on the north coast of Sicily. You can go hiking in the park, climbing high into the mountains to be rewarded with the fantastic views over Palermo, Cefalù and out to sea. If you prefer a slower pace, head down to the coast and take your pick from the many beautiful beaches or explore the medieval city of Cefalù with its pretty houses rising up from the shore, Byzantine mosaics and Norman cathedral. You’ll also be able to find plenty of fantastic restaurants here serving up the freshest seafood.

Leave a reviewWe had a great time at "Terre di Bea". It was more relaxed than expected. The cottage is on the top of a mountain and you have a fantastic view on the Sicilian sea. The interiors of the stone cottage is a fine mixture between old and new, you can discover many single details combining function with good style. Antonio had always an open ear for any problems. The recommended beach, 10 min. by car was wonderful too, with clear water for diving. We are a Family with two children and enjoyed every minute at this fantastic place. Highly recommended!

What to say, Antonio was the warmest, most attentive and kind host we’ve ever had on Airbnb. The grounds and the house were STUNNING. The pool was amazing for our family with panoramic views of the ocean and gorgeously lit at night. Truly the photos don’t begin to do it justice. The outdoor kitchen was so fun to feel like you’re home and the welcome gifts provided were astoundingly generous and delicious. Antonio has thought through every detail throughout the space. He helped with every question and need that came up. You should come to the area just to stay at this house! If you didn’t want to, you wouldn’t have to leave. It’s a resort all in of itself. Thank you again so much Antonio!! We cannot wait to come back to this magical place again!

Antonios cottage is absolutely dreamy. It is located on a hillside about 10 minute drive away from the beach & city of Cefalu in the National Park area. It's like being on your own private resort . The cottage offer a very high standars of amenities including very comfortable sleeping arrangement for 5 guests and has two ensuite bathrooms which are very handy. Inside the cottage is decorated in a very cute and cozy style. The living space is furnished with unique sofas and loungers made from driftwood founded on the beach below . The outdoor kitchen is fully equipped and has great lighting so you can easily cook outside after dark. The propertry offers a great BBQ area to grill incredible meals. Top of all is the solarium with the natural pool providing the most breathtaking view of the sea . The outside space is absolutely amazing for hanging out, relaxing or just having a glass of wine. You are located in the heart of national park so you will have an authentic nature experience with a great view on the sea and nearby islands. Antonio is a great host. He was always on call, prompt in his communication and very attentive. The prestocked refrigerator full of Sicilian wines , beer, cured meats , cheeses and fruit platter and breakfast items for the morning is a wonderful surprise . Overall we had a great time and can imagine coming back again if we would visit Sicily in the future. We most definitely reccomend this property for family vacations , lots of privacy , and being surrounded by this beautiful nature .
