    The cottage was amazing value for money. Everything you could wish for, right in the middle of the Montalbano old town.

    Words and pictures will not describe the place. The house filled me with inspiration to create, the atmosphere is relaxing, the cleanliness is meticulous and the design to the details made the stay perfect. This is a place to come back to! Thanks...

Antonella
In Montalbano Elicona (ME), the most beautiful village in Italy 2015, in the historic center, there is Helikon -the wayfarer's home-, a short-term tourist rental facility. Here time seems to have stopped. The mansion, skilfully restored, is served with every comfort. The terracotta and stone mixed with the ancient wood create a warm and magical atmosphere, ideal for a relaxing and pleasant stay. The old hearth will still make you feel that warmth of family life.
