Serenity in the Sicilian countryside

Head east out of Palermo through the forested mountains and picturesque rural villages and you’ll land in Pollina – a pocket-sized town that’s rumoured to reside on the site of an ancient Sicilian city. Quaint doesn’t even begin to cover the classic stone houses and higgledy-piggledy cobbled streets that wind their way up and around the hillside here. 

With the peaks of Madonie National Park as a backdrop, and the expansive blue waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea laid out along the horizon, this place oozes serenity – and as yet is somewhat of a well-kept secret. Sicilian sightseers head for the palaces of Palermo or the craters of Catania, and overlook this hidden gem in between – but not for long. 

If you’re looking for a healthy dose of sunshine, sea, and Sicilian hospitality, Pollina could be just the ticket.

    Your Pollina questions, answered

    Pollina has held on tight to its Sicilian roots, so the restaurants and pizzerias here deal in authentic eats – best enjoyed on a summer’s evening with a chilled glass of vino.
    Pollina town is perched on a hillside a few hundred metres above sea level, but make your way down to Finale, another town in the wider municipality of Pollina, and you'll find a couple of pebbled beaches where you can dip your toes in the sea. For a sandier stretch of shore, meanwhile, nearby Cefalù has got you covered. 
    If you love a good road trip, a car can be a real bonus here. There’re loads of windy mountain roads and cliffside routes – with some grade-A scenery – to be discovered. It’ll certainly help with getting between towns and villages, too, but there are bus and train links, so it’s definitely not a necessity. 

    Fairly laid-back. You won’t find any thumping club nights around these parts, but depending on where you stay there’ll be bars and restaurants that keep the doors open after nightfall.
