Pippa's Paddock

Pippa's Paddock is situated at an altitude of 2500 feet above sea level in the Madonie mountains. It is to be found in one of the most fertile valleys of the region - the Gurfa valley, named after the prehistoric caves found there. At this altitude there are sometimes some spectacular views to be had of the mountain tops sticking up through the clouds below.

The British family run place is a a restored farmhouse complex with the four grain barns becoming the guests living quaters. Each guest room has an ensuite bathroom. The area surrounding the guest rooms has been enhanced by a large terrace which overlooks the picturesque valley with its ever changing seasonal colours. The terrace is ideal for BBQs and social events and is regularly used for these.

Being also a horse-riding centre, the buildings are surrounding by fields where the horses graze. The stables and school are situated on the premises.
