Our stay at The baglio was simply amazing. It is located in the quiet countryside. It is beautiful and peaceful there. I was looking for a retreat for my body and soul. My children also enjoyed themselves. Elena gave me a list of places to eat is it and foods to try. I did most of it. And loved everything. We drove out to Palermo one day. Took me about 45 minutes to get to the center of Palermo. Local people of Balestrate are very friendly. They were very helpful with my limited he tell him. I felt very welcome. Be mindful of the siesta. Local people take it seriously. So if you need to go to the store they will be closed for siesta.
