Relais Villa Miraglia

Top choice in Tyrrhenian Coast


Surrounded by beech forest, this newly restored hunting lodge smack in the heart of the Nebrodi is the perfect base for hiking, mountain biking or horseback riding into the park. The nine rooms and one spiffy suite with freestanding bathtub offer more luxury than you might expect in the middle of nowhere, and the onsite restaurant serves fine regional cuisine.
