If we could scoop up and take Vito's villa with us on all
our holidays we would do so. The villa was truly a holiday in itself. Our first day we ventured
nowhere! The villa provides great space indoors and outdoors and completely private. Great diving pool; which occupied most of our time (young and old alike) and the most amazing roof top terrace with 360degree views.
The beach is on your doorstep for a quick dip in the Med. Personally I would recommend driving to local rock pool swimming spots like Tre Piscine or Bagheira (as the local beach is sadly a bit unkempt like the streets of Ficatazzi),
or go further afield to beaches in Mondello or Scopello (particularly Scopello for snorkelling!!) if you want to experience the real beauty of the Mediterranean.
Nearby Palermo is just a 20 min drive and offers adventures for shoppers, historians or just to chill out eating Sicilian street food or having a few beers with free buffets! There is a local hotel with good restaurant and nearby supermarket and fruit stalls but otherwise I would suggest Palermo for dining.
