What do you think about a fantastic holiday staying in a very old castle, where everything reminds you of the past? Castroreale a nice, pretty, quiet, village on the green slopes of Peloritani mountains, can make you feel these sensation. In fact, the hostel site is in a beautiful place, near a medieval tower. This hostel has a very nice garden and solarium.
The castle's terraces overlook the blue Tyrrhenian Sea and the green fascinating mountains, whose paths can lead you to discover spots of uncontaminated nature and traditional aspects that seem to belong to the past. Then there are nearby beaches and the splendid Aeolian Island lying in the horizon. There are many possibilities for excursion to the surrounding mountains. Mount Etna with its smoking crater can be easily reached.
