B&B La Tela di Penelope

Tyrrhenian Coast


Attached to a traditional weaving studio, this three-room B&B is perfectly placed in the heart of picturesque San Marco d'Alunzio. Rooms (two with private balconies) enjoy views of the historic centre or the distant Aeolian Islands, and all guests share a small kitchen. Owners can arrange tours of the weaving studio, the town and the nearby Parco Regionale dei Nebrodi.
