The villa is incredible, absolutely one of the best places we’ve ever stayed and the photos don’t do it justice at all.
It has all the amenities you would ever need and makes it feel like home from home. The location is beautiful but there is not a lot close by without a car or willing to pay for taxis. As long as you are prepared for this then there is no problem getting around. We wanted to chill around the villa most days and stroll down to the beach but were still able to go out a couple of nights.
We were a group of 9 mid twenty year old girls and it was a perfect mixture for us for party/chill/beach. If you want to go out for dinner in the evening then you have limited choices nearby (though sunshine restaurant on the beach 5 mins walk away is incredible). 20 minutes by car is Castellamare which is a beautiful port with amazing restaurants and late nights bars. The airport is only 30 mins away and Palermo is an hour away. Trapani is also 45 mins away where you can get lots of boat trips from to the Egadi Islands. There are 2 very small supermarkets within 10 mins walk which is fine for some pasta, water and wine, but big shops are about 10 mins drive away.
Aldona is the most incredible host. She was so welcoming and caring. She went completely above and beyond and ensured we were comfortable and safe in her home. The place is spotless and so safe in a lovely gates area.
We had an amazing holiday and were very sad to leave.
