Pros
-Perfect bedroom arrangement for 3 families
-lovely pool area with views
-excellent communication with host
-safe and secure for small children
Cons
-beach area outside the villa was very littered on arrival. It was not safe for children. My mother and I spent a morning picking up 5 bag fulls. I think more should be done it's very unappealing when you first arrive. I would clear rubbish outside my own home. The sea was also full of plastic and rubbish.
-kitchen was well equipped but too small for 3 families, there was no area to prepare food. It was not as well thought out as the rest of the house.
-local area was drab, nowhere to go for walks
In conclusion the villa is beautiful and a lovely place to stay and even with a small kitchen you will not be disappointed, I just wish I could have picked it up and put it somewhere else. Car hire is essential (and do not leave to the last minute as for us all rentals had sold out from Palermo) there is no form of public transport and not much by the way of taxis. Other than the hotel and restuarant above, there is nowhere to really walk to. I would also recommend hiring many smaller cars opposed to one big one. There are lots of nice places to drive to 40+ minutes away. I would also recommend heaps of deet spray, the mosquitos around the main eating area are relentless. The owner Maria and Erica (hostess) were very helpful in trying to make sure we had everything we needed. Erica was in contact via whatsapp for any advice we needed for the duration of our stay. I would recommend Maria, Erica and the villa as offering a wonderful holiday experience.
