Description Fattoria Pianetti

THE FARM AND THE MADONIE


Fattoria Pianetti is an eighteen-century farmhouse nestled amongst century-old oak trees and offers breathtaking views of Palermo and the surrounding mountains.


Fields, with cows and goats grazing nearby, surround the farmhouse. It is located within the Madonie National Park, 700 meters above sea level, 14 km from the seaside resort of Cefalù, and one hour from Palermo by car or train.





Centrally located near some of Sicily’s most important and historic sites, Fattoria Pianetti provides the ideal hub for day excursions. Explore ancient Agrigento, the Piazza Amerina – with its famous Roman villa, Segesta -- with some of the most notable Greek temples in the Mediterranean, the hilltop medieval city of Erice, San Vito Lo Capo, and still be back in time for dinner!


Just a few kilometers inland gain fascinating insight into local culture by exploring some of Sicily’s most charming medieval villages like Ganci, Castelbuono, Polizzi and in the summer join in the festivities as the village of Petralia celebrates its Saint’s day, complete with holy processions.





Fattoria Pianetti’s is steeped history and tradition. It has been in the Lanza family since the early 900’s and the family takes pride in its history and preservation.


The botanist Domenico Lanza, who discovered the Abies Nebrodensis, built the stunning gardens surrounding the property.


Today, the Lanza family’s continuous passion for nature ensure the preservation of the property’s exceptional variety of trees and plants including: the Pero Mandorlino tree and a majestic 500 year old oak tree. These trees are part of the route of the monumental tress mentioned by Madonie Park.
