Had a lovely stay at Giuseppe’s place, the villa was big and luxurious. There were many places places to sit to overlook the amazing views of Carini. The area was so beautiful and we couldn’t believe what we had gotten for the price. Upon arrival, Giuseppe had provided us with big bottles of refrigerated water and maps and places to go in the local area which really helped us as we didn’t have a car. The train station was about a half an hour walk in the midday heat. I would recommend a car as the supermarket is a long walk especially when it’s that hot, although when it is cooler it would be a lovely walk. The beach was only a 5 minute walk away and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the shade of the Carini castle with a breeze and view. Giuseppe gave us his number and was very helpful with any problems we had, even when it was just us asking how to get tickets at the train station and a number for a taxi. The pool in the villa was amazing, and had a diving board which was a lot of fun. We were provided with deck chairs around the pool also and a radio that we played whilst in the pool of an evening. The pool is shared with the other apartment, however we were lucky that the other apartment wasn’t vacated until the last day so we had the pool to ourselves up until then. Very close to the airport, about 5 minutes int he car, however the taxis were very expensive. €40 for such a short journey. The city of Palermo is located about an hour away on the train and is full of such beauty and culture. There are pizzerias and bakeries only a short walk from the villa.
Would highly recommend going with Giuseppe’s place, great price, great experience.
