This is an elegant, meticulously clean, amazing villa. The decorations are highly eclectic, reflecting folk art from around the world, and the villa itself is nothing short of stunning. On every level are spaces, covered and uncovered, to enjoy the views, take meals outside, or sit with a book or socialize with your traveling companions. Furnishing are uniformly comfortable and the kitchen is beautifully equipped with a great refrigerator, stove top, and oven. And our hosts, Anna and Carmelo were generous and gracious: a “welcome cake” in the freezer was delicious; the bubbler for drinking and cooking water was full (tap water, in general, in Sicily, is not potable), and a gift kiddie pool was brand new just for our 1 year old granddaughter to enjoy. They stopped by with local wine and accommodated our every need. The outdoor pizza oven is a beauty. The driveway is a bit of a challenge, but, hey, you’re in Sicily! Historic Cefalu is a short, easy drive down the hillside and is walkable if you don’t mind a very, very steep hill. Even the internet connection was good – something, unfortunately, I needed because it was a working vacation for me.
