We had an amazing week at Villa Eloise. The apartment is spacious and beautiful with views to die for. The huge terrace is surrounded by a backdrop of mountains and the blue Mediterranean is not too distant. Lemons grow on the trees in the neighbours garden. Inside the apartment is comfortable and very stylish with two lovely bedrooms, big modern bathroom and open plan living room and kitchen. There is a huge TV with Sky so you can watch news etc in English. Louise and her family were very welcoming and kindly stayed up for our late arrival due to queues for car hire at the airport. It was great to find the fridge full of bottled water, eggs, butter, bread and other essentials - and a delicious bottle of wine which we appreciated after a long journey. The apartment is extremely convenient for shops in Mondello and great restaurants and bars at the seafront. There is a long sandy beach for swimming but we also swam every day in the beautiful swimming pool at Villa Eloise. there is also an outdoor kitchen for evening barbecues and we enjoyed eating with Louise and family and with other guests. Further afield there are loads of lovely places to visit and Louise was full of advice on where to go and what to see. Highlights for us were Scopello Beach, Castellamre and Cefalu. We also drove up into the mountains and visited interesting villages with great views. Highly recommend Villa Eloise. You won't be disappointed!
