I loved staying in Addaura at the Villa. It is a beautiful place to relax. I was pleasantly surprised at what a beautiful place it is to swim in the sea. The fireplace works well, and Clotilde even arranged to have the piano tuned for me. Clotilde is very responsive and helpful with everything I needed. There is a local seafood stand a few doors down, and a bus stop right outside the door. If you're going downtown to Palermo and you don't want to wait for the most local bus, you can take a beautiful walk to the village of Vergine Maria and take a bus there, too. You can also walk to Mondello which is also a very special place and a world class beach! ... but I prefer to swim outside my door (wow!) ... Thanks, Clotilde!
