We had a great time at Fausto's. The flat is lovely and light but all windows have shutters if needed. It is in ideal location for both Monreale and Palermo. Fausto is very nice and recommended a great pizzeria next door, which also is a bakery during the day.
Great place for families but also for couples that want to get away from the city. Very comfortable.
Yes the dogs did bark in the evening but didn't disturb us at night.
If you're up early enough you can see the stunning sunrise from the balcony! And one night there was a fireworks display across the valley.
Car or scooter essential, but the trip into Palermo or Monreale is very quick and easy. We definitely recommend staying here.
