Everything was just as described , except that the location was even better than we had hoped for. The views were incredible in every direction, mountains and sea. The villa itself was very nicely appointed and had everything we needed. Our host made us welcome with a bottle of olive oil produced from the olive grove the villa is located in, and a plateful of delicious almond cookies. Any problems we had in the first couple of days were quickly attended to, but otherwise we were left undisturbed. The nearest little town with several supermarkets was only about 2 Km away. The pool was excellent, with wonderful views, well maintained and like everything else, spotlessly clean. We found it an excellent base with lots of places to visit in easy travelling distance despite the closure of the motorway, and we were able to do the walking in the Madonie Mountains which we had planned.
