Castelbuono is located on the slopes of Colle Milocca, in the Madonie valley, among numerous forests of oak, chestnut, cherry, and ash. The history of Castelbuono is intertwined with that of the Ventimglia family: the village takes its name from the Ventimiglia castle that dominates the city.
Its privileged position and its long history make it an enchanting place to visit, a place where the art and naturalistic beauties meet.
Castelbuono is home to "the white gold of Sicily": Manna, which due to its rarity, is an exceptional resource of the village.
