Altavilla Milicia

Altavilla Milicia
Sicily - Britta Bohn

By Britta Bohn

A small place with a big view

WOOOOWWWW - this view is truly unique! From a height of 700 metres, the Mediterranean has a very special glow.

Sweating it out on the mountain bike was more than worth it. But now it's back down from Pizzo Cane.

A bar is already waiting for you at the Belvedere of Altavilla Milicia.

And once again, it is the sea that casts a spell over you. The delicious cappuccino almost becomes a minor matter.

Altavilla Milicia - Belvedere

Belvedere

Bells ring. A wedding party moves towards the church, laughing. The background is filled with the hissing of an espresso machine.

You sit in front of the bar on the Belvedere of Altavilla Milicia and don't know what to admire first - the spruced-up wedding party or the sea glittering as far as the horizon.

Altavilla Milicia - Pizzo Cane

Pizzo Cane

A light scent of pine trees wafts into your nose. The forest rustles softly and is only drowned out by the call of a falcon.

In the distance, the warm summer air shimmers over the city. And someone has turned off the sound. The cars are just small, swarming dots.

You can experience this and much more in the "Pizzo Cane" nature reserve in the south of Altavilla Milicia.

Altavilla Milicia - Contrada Sperone

Contrada Sperone

The view from Pizzo Cane is certainly marvellous, but you're not quite sure about cycling up there? Then just stay down and cycle along the foot of Pizzo Cane.

Are you looking for a house in the countryside? Then you've come to the right place. From a new build to a dacha with a large garden, Contrada Sperone has it all.

Important: Our cycle route runs on tarmac roads, but they are quite steep in some places. This is no problem if you use the mountain bike we recommend.
