My family of 8 people really enjoyed our stay to the fullest. Rosanna is a great host, who obviously loves Sicily, and wants her guests to enjoy it and all it has to offer as well. My family loves cooking, and despite compact, the kitchen allowed making food for my family. Really loved the gas oven! Dining was a sure pleasure, with two different terraces facing north or south, with long tables suited for 8 people.
Villa is situated 50-60 meters from Hotel La Battiaga, where two sunbeds+umbrella rents for 10-12€ per day. This compares to 25-30€ in for instance Mondello.
Would recommend Castallamare del Golfo for dining trips in the evening.
Note: there’s no air condition in the house! All rooms except the four bedrooms are very well air conditioned by wind from the outside, as long as doors/windows are open. Two of the bedrooms are equipped with ceiling fans, the other two with floor fans. We slept fine, although my Scandinavian father would have appreciated air condition!
