Paola’s home is all that and then some! Remote (you will need a car) but still close to everything and easy to find. She is such a gracious host. We arrived late after a full day of sight seeing and a drive over from Palermo. We were met by the whole family with such a warm welcome which included enough food items to fill up our teenager son and still have some left over for the rest of us. :) She even included bottled water and a bottle of wine.
The house is very well maintained with lots of towels, bedding and soap/shampoo for the showers. The beds were comfortable and the decor was modern with a family feel. It was a very comfortable for our family. We loved it.
Outside were lounge chairs, outdoor furniture and a small kids pool complete with sand! Unfortunately we didn’t use them at all because steps away out the back gate is one of the most enjoyable beaches anywhere. Because you’re in a residential section there were very few to any other beachgoers to be seen. Hours of fun in the sun. We enjoyed using Paola’s beach toys but I might suggest adding some boogie boards for the waves.
Paola and her daughter offered many suggestions for our trip and even had reduced price ticket vouchers for Mt Etna. A definite must do all the way to the top. I also recommend a late afternoon and evening adventure to Taromina. Most of the tour buses were gone and we had a great time learning about the city and the theater. We enjoyed dinner while taking in the view and watching all the people strolling by. I also highly recommend Siracusa (my favorite). We had incredible sandwiches at Caseificio Borderi and caught a greek play actually being acted out in the ancient greek theater. Fun times.
You can’t go wrong booking Paola’s home. She will make you feel like it’s your home. You will enjoy it!
