Before travelling to Sicily, I have done a lot of research looking for the best Airbnb location to stay. This is hands-down one of the best properties.
Location: short drive (25 mins) from Palermo airport, 5-10 minute drive from Terrasini (with a stunning beach, markets, shops, and nice restaurants).
The property itself is in a stunning location - off the main road, on top of a very beautiful hill, surrounded by tall trees and stunning, rustic architecture.
The whole area is very clean and impeccable. There are a number of villas on the land, used by other visitors, but you never feel intruded and always feel like you have your corner of privacy. Most other residents were young couples or families, so the atmosphere was very homely and relaxed, with no guests disturbing anyone else.
Value wise, I think this is in the top 1% of all the properties near Palermo. It delivered everything it promised and then some more. This is the kind of place where you just want to chill-out with your close friends and loved ones, cook some tasty food and relax by the pool...
Oh and the pool - yes, it is as beautiful as it looks. It is an infinity pool overlooking the coast. You will see the most stunning sunsets and the position of the pool ensures that it is in direct sunlight for most of the day (from about 10am onwards).
There are plenty of sunbeds and also a nice table with comfortable seats to relax in the evening with a glass of wine and watch the beautiful scenery.
I would very much recommend staying here and Giovanni has been great at communicating with us throughout, accommodating our early arrival and responding quickly with any and all questions.
I would strongly recommend hiring a car - there is plenty of parking space and whilst the nearest town is very close, this will give you additional freedom and long-term will save you money (taxis in Sicily are very expensive, especially if you don't speak the language).
This place felt like home and I am very pleased we decided to stay at this wonderful property - would highly recommend this to everyone.
