Casello 12 was a lovely place to spend 10 days in Autumn for some last sunshine (25C most days, 1 day rain). We were met by Signora Vita and her daughter Ilenia in Menfi and we drove about 15min in tandem to the house which is a short drive outside Porto Palo itself (a bit too far for us to walk with 2 small kids, prob about 25-30min walking up and down the road to the beach at Porto Palo). The house was spotless and well furnished. The pool and grassy garden are delightful and really made our holiday. The beach at Porto Palo is safe, mostly clean and sandy - perfect for sand castles and dipping toes in the warmish water. As we came out of season, many of the restaurants in Porto Palo and Menfi were closed but we loved Lucerne in PP for its seafood pasta and mixed seafood antipasti. We would happily stay again. Thank you
