This place is fantastic! A very genuine Sicilian experience amongst the locals with a view of the surrounding mountains and Caccamo Castle that is amazing. This is not a place for everyone but for the majority that can firstly make the journey up the stairs to the apartment and then successfully navigate the staircases in the apartment, your efforts will be rewarded!
The welcome pack provided by Heather is a great source of information to start organising what you would like to do in this area. There are many options and we chose to enjoy our evenings in the house with those amazing views and by day go exploring. Cefalu is a great start and highly recommended but the beach is extremely busy so we chose to wander the charming little streets. Palermo is easily reachable by car or train and we chose the latter to avoid Palermo's notorious traffic. Mondello Beach was a great chance for you to experience Italian beach lifestyle squeezed in amongst the people who want to be seen. It's busy there but not without a reason - the water and beach are why it is so popular.
The house is great for families with little kids as there are many games available. Heather, the host, actually encourages you to treat the house like your own home. We lived very comfortably, and like we belonged there amongst our local Sicilian "friends" - a truly unique experience. Try it for yourself and see.
Wonderful experience and great value for money if you don't need to live BIG. Highly recommended.
