We arrived here after spending two weeks in a super busy Rome. At first it was a little cultural shock, Santa Flavia / Porticello are very authentic Italian towns with super narrow streets, locals sitting outside on chairs and chatting, entry doors to their houses wide open, children running around way past midnight. Very soon we fell in love with it. So quiet, relaxing, and feels very safe, perfect for a family vacation. It’s only about 20 km (14 miles) from Palermo (but it might take you an hour to get there) and about an hour from Cefalu. There are beautiful beaches within an hour drive (Tre Piscine our favorite only about 10 minutes from the apartment).
The apartment is in very clean, with a beautiful sea view. we had everything we needed. There is also a very nice and clean swimming pool. We enjoyed our stay there a lot and would definitely return.
