This gorgeous garden with its ancient olive trees, cactuses, palms and flowers around the fabulous pool cannot be beaten, a real highlight. Great seating areas. We also very much enjoyed using the well equipped outdoor kitchen and picking herbs, juicy lemons etc from the garden terrace. The villa interior is lovely, the beds are comfortable, the air con a plus. ( You pay for electricity at end of stay dependent on amount used ) Elio is a flexible and helpful host.
In terms of location, you are in an authentic small town with a few bars ,shops, bakeries, ice cream parlours , it is not a tourist town. But in easy reach of Palermo , Cefalu and Bagheria by train or car. The station and coast is about 30 mins walk but Elio discouraged walking due to the busy roads we would have had to cross.
We really enjoyed Elios recommendation for a local restaurant.
The address wrongly came up on the listing as a hotel after booking due to google error, don’t worry, Elio will confirm the correct address.
