Les nombreuses chambres Les 2 salles de bain : une au 1er, l'autre au rez-de-chaussée La piscine

La porte sécurisée sans poignée extérieure, nous avons failli être coincés dehors...

The outdoor space. This villa definitely makes the most of the lovely Sicilian weather. There was a covered seating area on the ground floor, and a big terrace on the upper floor, which offers beautiful wraparound views. You have hills (and even a cave! on one side, and in front of you is a breathtaking view of the coast. The pool is a good size, and there are plenty of sunloungers and other seating/lying equipment around. The host was also really responsive on the couple of occasions we did contact them. The set-up of the bedrooms was ideal for us. The internal staircase is a spiral one, as in the photos, but there is also an external one with straight steps. Although it wasn't quite as near amenities as we thought, it didn't take long to get to any in the car (you will need a car!), and it was easy to park at a nearby train station to go to Palermo.

The inside was smaller than expected, especially the kitchen. However, it all worked fine and we felt that it had everything you needed, just in a small space. The dinner table inside was also plenty big enough when, on a couple of occasions, the kids wanted to go inside due to wasps, and the lounge worked out well for when they all first got up. Plus, the BBQ and pizza oven outside meant the kitchen wasn't the only option for cooking! The house is set up for the outdoor living that being in a place like this offers!
