Alfonso was the perfect charming host and always responded to problems promptly. The house and beds were good and there was plenty of outside space to have separate areas to sit and parking for two cars was easy. Sitting outside to eat was fabulous. Alfonso said that he is going to improve the electricity supply which would be good as not all the air con could work at once. However the ceiling fans were extremely effective and cool and silent at night.
It is quite a long walk to the beaches in the park, but there are other beaches and we had beautiful drives into the mountains.
Only drive in Palermo if you are a good and calm driver. The driving is unspeakable in the city, but we survived without a bump. The motorways are good and empty, the smaller roads can be impassable but oh so beautiful. The local (10 min drive) supermarket / butcher / and veg shop are excellent. friendly and have local foods. The butcher will make you up special sandwiches and delicacies. The meat was the best ever.
