This is a Special Place
With first construction beginning in 1537 there is history outside your bedroom door. The accommodation (Miro Cottage) was originally servants quarters for the Villa and are now superbly and tastefully converted into very spacious and comfortable living spaces - deliciously excessive for two people and perfect for two couples or a family of four. We stayed six nights and loved every minute - sometimes eating out but very happy to cook in the well appointed kitchen with everything at hand (including a barbecue, oven, deep freeze etc). The main bedroom is very large with en-suite and a separate bathroom for the second couple. A cool and airy lounge is a lovely relaxing space. And the pool is one of the nicest in Sicily, surrounded by a true Mediterranean garden and shade trees. All facilities are immaculately clean and the hospitality, friendliness and helpfulness of the hosts (Sylvia and her mother) are globally exceptional (but not abnormal in Sicily).
If you want more than a holiday but the chance to create a lifetime memory, Villa Santa Flavia is the place to do it. It is close to the coast, Cefalù and Palermo with good access to public transport and parking for your own vehicle at your doorstep. The villa is surrounded by locked gates so security is no issue. There is plenty to do locally with excellent multi-lingual advice available if required (not always the case in Sicily)
You would be hard pressed to find better value if you are after location, peacefulness, hospitality, privacy, home comforts and a great swimming pool.
