What a wonderful weekend at a magical place! Francesca met us at the gate and was so incredibly kind and welcoming. We loved staying in her family home. We rented a car and drove through the winding roads and were able to park right outside. It would be harder to take strictly cabs or walk from here to the town, so a rental car or driver is definitely preferable. We did day trips to Erice and the beach from here. (10-15 minute drive) and went to the Salt Flats on our final day (40 minutes away). I was worried about driving the winding roads at night for dinner, but they were well lit and we actually ended up cooking most nights in the fabulous kitchen and eating out on the incredible terrace overlooking the ocean and pool (highly recommend a grocery run and to cook and enjoy your time at the villa!!). The pool has an incredible view and great lighting to use at night if you wish. The AC works very well as good appliances and updated bathrooms. There is a second Airbnb/rental villa in the same courtyard that also belongs to the family, but it was empty when we stayed so I can’t comment on if there is noise when there are neighbors. All in all, 5 stars!
