Casale Margherita

Il Casale Margherita è un incantevole Agritursmo che nasce come turismo rurale nel cuore della Sicilia e si trova nel parco regionale dei Monti Sikani.
Anche se immagina di essere raffinato e sofisticato, conserva sempre un tocco di cascina, anche perché si trova a pochi passi dall'agriturismo di famiglia.
Dispone di 18 camere arredate in modo confortevole con tutti i comfort necessari.
Dopo una giornata di visite turistiche, potrete rilassarvi al bar con un aperitivo e poi godervi una vera esperienza culinaria con prodotti tipici locali come agnello, formaggio e ottimi vini, preparati da ottimi chef.

Venite a conoscere le tradizioni natalizie

Durante il periodo natalizio non può mancare in Sicilia la tradizione del presepe in tutte le sue varianti, forme, dimensioni e colori. Alcuni paesi si trasformano completamente in presepi viventi, in cui i residenti mettono in scena gli antichi mestieri tra il suono delle cornamuse e le novene.
