First time in Sicily with family for a long overdue vacation and Lilli was superb in making us feel welcomed and at home. She provided detailed information on how to get to her property and while the direction may seem overwhelming at first, she wanted us to arrive at her property safe and sound; the directions and pictures are exactly as you would find them when using Google map though the entrance from the main road to her property during the last few hundred meters is not correctly shown by Google and the value of Lilli's direction comes most handy!
We arrived a bit early but Lilli was gracious enough to let us place our luggage before check-in time; it was she who suggested that we leave our luggage at her place as it would be dangerous to drive around Palermo with them.
Upon arrival, we were met by Rosi, who took care of the house and later by Lilli, her husband and two charming sons. Never felt more welcomed in any other places before. Lilli left us some chocolate cookies, juices and some pasta for the family which was a pleasant surprise. We really enjoyed the treats!
Amenity wise, you will find everything you need and in good working order as advertised. The air-conditioning is great during the afternoon or after coming back home from exploring Palermo during the day. The swimming pool is great too; my two sons would get up early in the morning for some fun time in the pool before heading out to Palermo everyday during our stay there.
The property is on a huge piece of land, quiet, with a stunning view of the mountains.
Of note, Lilli is very responsive and will try to help however she can when requested.
Especially, if you are new to Sicily as I am and have rented a car, you may be overwhelmed with the ZTL. I have read and studied the ZTL and the hazards of driving in Sicily but still managed to get myself in trouble. Not knowing what to do, I called Lilli and explained my situation and she went above and beyond to straighten things out.
Thank you Lilli for hosting us and making us feel like family.
