Luca was wonderful. He picked us up in the middle of the night as we had a very late flight. The Casolare was very beauttiful decorated, the rooms very spacious. The garden was delightful and big.The village Balestrate is nothing special but we liked it as it is not very touristic, with some nice resataurants. The beach is fine and sandy. Perfect for the kids. The Casolare is perfect to explore the west of sicily, only 20 minutes to Palermo and 10 minutes to Castellamare del Golfo.
